Pathak, Rajani, MD

After feeling so discouraged with past mental health professionals, Dr.Turnipseed and his staff gave me the much needed support I was looking for.

I have been working with Dr. Turnipseed at Roots Behavioral Health for about 3 years now. During this time I lost my ability to work for a living, my Mother to Cancer, and my husband is diagnosed with Stage IV Colon Cancer, undergoing his 2nd round of Chemo. It has been a very rough time and Dr. T. has been there for me every step of the way. His front office staff is extremely polite and always willing to go that extra mile when needed. And the office is growing so fast, they are definitely ahead of their time in Austin for Psychiatric care. I do recommend Dr. Turnipseed and Roots Behavioral Health to my friends and would to you as well. I found both of them to be extremely helpful.

ROOTS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DOES NOT WANT TO HELP YOU!! Find a place that does instead. (Before you read my review, I also found another review from someone else online with the same situation!) I had to miss my first appointment due to an emergency and they wouldn't let me reschedule ever. They don't really seem to care about helping people with a policy like that. And they don't tell you about the policy beforehand either. After you've spent over an hour getting your entire history absolutely perfect in their online system first. You can't make an appointment until you do. They're clear about that. But they definitely do not tell you that if you have to miss your appointment you are BANNED! Ridiculous policy. It was literally my first appointment. Roots, you should really tell people things like that but it won't matter if you were like me and had a completely unavoidable situation. But definitely make sure you don't get sick or get in a car accident or your car doesn't start or anything. Oh and you'll probably have to go back to your doctor and get a new referral for a new place and fill out the same paperwork again. I'm so glad the psychological industry is really trying to help people that want to help themselves. I'm sure some other professionals out there are helpful. But Roots's Behavioral Health IS NOT HELPFUL.
