Vijapura A K Md

I was seeing Alma the PA in the Spring Hill office and she was the most understanding person I've ever met. The medications she prescribed where exactly what I needed to stay level instead of the constant highs and lows of Bi-polar and the other medications she provided kept the psychosis and ADD under control. The only reason I left this practice was because I moved. They ended up closing this office which saddens me since I""m in the process of moving back to that area. If you think Dr V is a bad doctor you should see the poor excuses that pass for doctors in NC more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS DOCTOR !!!!!!! Consider this your warning !!!!!!!! I have seen this dr for over 3 years . ONLY because my insurance insisted that I see him and would not ( until now) listen to my constant complaints of unprofessional medical practices . I have been charged for 1 hr appt's by this dr each and every time I have seen him when he has never spent more than 5 to 7 minutes with me. My insurance company finally found this out. He will NOT listen to anything you have to say or even ask how you feel. He will only answer phone calls, text others, eat lunch or buy and sell houses in the middle of your visit . I have witnessed all of this on MANY occasions and have complained each time until the insurance company finally believed me. He is a horrible doctor . His secretary Candace is a royal witch. She is mean to all patients, shouts out your condition and medications while you stand at the waiting room desk and will not answer the phone without making you feel as if you have inconvenienced her terribly. She is just plain RUDE. Read all of the sites that feature this dr's. (and Candace's) reviews. He is only as strong as his weakest link and she sure drags him down even further than he already is. I have finally FIRED this horrid excuse for a dr. and thankfully found one with some compassion , intelligence , experience and a kind staff. Dr. Ashit Vijapura should be out of work and should take his pathetic staff with him . He is an awful excuse for a doctor and probably should stick to just buying and selling properties and TAKE CANDACE WITH HIM !!!! Those two deserve each other. more

DO NOT GO TO THIS OFFICE - The receptionist and Office Manager ""Candace"" are extremely rude and unprofessional - one with mental health disabilities are struggling as it is - to be treated so inhumane and rude is besides me of how they even can have a license to practice - DO NOT GO TO THIS OFFICE - more

Drug pusher who only in it for the money!. I have never seen a more poor example of a Psychiatrist. Although he has been under review previously Dr. VJ still sees 10 pt. per hour but bills for 1/2 hr visit. never talks and hardly listens. If you want a doc that just writes scrips, he is your man, but if you need a REAL Dr. don't go. Office is gross and Candace (office mgr, ) is very unpleasant. You cannot reach these ppl if you have a problem. No assistance by phone and not much by appt. I have never seen a psych practice like this. It is a mill and they seriously DO NOT care. if you need real help keep looking. He specializes in billing only!!!! more

I should have known this office would be what it is when I called to make an appointment and they asked ""is it court ordered?"" I went here because it was half the price for the initial consult ($150 vs $300 elsewhere) and I don't have insurance. Well, you get what you pay for, and my advice is not to skimp on your mental health. You spend more time with whatever intern is getting pyschiatry credit than you do with the doctor. You literally spend 5 minutes with him and he just represcribes whatever medication you were already on. ON TOP OF THAT, you get no refills. Despite the fact I've been coming for 5 MONTHS and get the same $10 generic antidepressant EVERY TIME, they would not call in a refill even when I was about to run out and there were no appointments available for a week. So I have to pay $60 for an office visit everytime I want my $10 prescription refilled. This is a ghetto ass office that in my opinion is all about money and is not about patient care. GO ELSEWHERE! Spend the money to see a real doctor who cares. more

yes, you get the feeling that he isn't really interested in your problems or helping you fix them ... unless he sees you as someone cool or interesting to talk to , ie you are a physically attractive female. yes, he is distractible and dismissive of your symptoms and concerns, he rushes you, he laughs a lot inappropriately when you share something, and you never build any kind of therapeutic relationship with him as you never figure out if you can trust him or not. but hey, the guy is a rapid prescriber. By this I mean, you go in, tell him what you are taking, and tell him how that's working for you. IE, he notes that i was on zoloft and wellbutrin and that wasn't quite working, and i can't take lithium due to my thyroid, so lets try neurontin. next time, neurontin ain't getting it, so lets try abilify. next visit, that was helping, but too many side effects, so lets add geodon instead. BOOM. success. Then too, the first time I went in there i banged on his desk and told him, 'i was diagnosed manic depressive 20 years ago. i have a chemical problem and i need medicine. i had a great childhood and i wasn't molested. i don't need to talk to you about stupid cr@p. just give me some medicine and when i am well enough in six months, i will stop taking it, and you won't see again until my next manic or depressive episode'. so you see, his style works for me, and it is what i want and need. cut and dry. but for other people, if you need a chatty therapist who cares, bup this guy. don't waste your time. more

I don't understand the negative reviews here as my experiences have been great. Yes, the waiting room can get packed and you may wait a little longer but what doctor's office isn't like that. I had been to a few different doctors in the area and just when I was about to lose hope of finding someone who would be a good fit I found Dr. Vijapura. He was attentive and understanding and had the knowledge to treat my condition discussing the various medication options with me. I have had very positive results and will continue to see him...even if it means waiting and extra 15 minutes here and there beyond my appointment time. Beth more

Dr. Ashit Vijapura on my first visit to him made fun of my condition. Took me off all meds I was currently taking that were working for me and yelled at me daily. He raised his voice so high others could hear his yelling at me outside of his office. He sees patients that are hospitalized for five to ten minutes and charges medicaid over two hundred dollars for these ""sessions"" He is fraudulent, rude and disrespectful. I would not recommend this psychiatrist to ANYONE needing help. Stay away from this doctor. Pros: NO pros was forced to see him after being admitted to hospit Cons: Unbelievably overcharging insurance, rude, and disrespectful more

I fired this lowlife and his wortrhless therapist and he sent a letter 3 weeks after I reported him for medicare fraud.He and Varghese Kodiyaan are thiefs,who steal from medicare. Pros: He talks on his cell phone your entirwe visit so you don't g Cons: He is a guilty of medicare fraud more

Aswin Kumar.\r \r I'm having a really difficult time to see this doctor or any other doctor in his office. In Hindu Mythology, it isn't easy to meet/see the demi-god of medicine Aswin Kumar. He gave a rare visit to Madri who applied Saint Durbasha's Mantra..so on\r I've been referred to this doctor, but it's been hectic to go through his admin assistant to get an opportunity to see him. Please avoid this office to get referred if you can.\r Cons: It's like meeting the Hindu Medicine God more

I have been a patient of Dr. Vijapura's for several years and he is (and continues to be) a very professional and knowledgeable physician. From my first visit, he was patient and thorough and he has been this way ever since. I would recommend him to anyone. more

Having been referred by the emergency room doctor, my fiance and I expected to find a courteaous, knowledgeable, and respected doctor. Instead, we found a conniving, discourteous scam artist. He hardly payed attention to my finace's symptoms, and my fiance had to repeat himself several times because of this. He answered cell phone calls in the middle of our session. He also scammed us out of money. I would not trust this person. more
