Dr. Bob Kalani has been my doctor since July 2012. I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder since 1990 and have seen several different doctors. Dr. Kalani has not only helped with my mental condition but also addressing the fact that I am a type II diabetic who also suffers from sleep apnea. In all my years of going to a psychiatrist and my sessions only lasted for 15 min. for dispensing medications. Dr. Kalani has helped me in the last 7 months of therapy more than all my the doctor since 1990. He is on top of what is needed, whether the medications or blood work. We have also touched on life experiences since childhood and adolescence that have affected my mental state.
I highly recommend Dr. Kalani as a psychiatrist to anyone needing any kind of mental health help. I always leave the session feeling better as well as having resolved any issues that came up during the session.

Simply put: Dr. Kalani changed my life! With his prompt diagnosis my ADHD has been finally addressed, allowing me to escape from the darkness ADHD threw me and live a normal life. I am 43 years old and I have been able to be successful in my profession (I am a physicist), at the price of struggling with my health and my private life. Now I know that my ADHD was responsible for my struggle. I have never been aware I had ADHD, and not because I did not show strong symptoms of the disorder. I believe this was due to a mixture of lack of education and misinformation on the subject, both from my side and from people interacted with me. Thanks to my wife who one day, tired to deal with my miserable conditions, booked an appointment with Dr. Kalani, my ADHD condition has been quickly recognized, I have been educated on the subject and received the proper treatment. I have been very impressed by Dr. Kalani, both from a professional and personal point of view. If you ask me: who would you recommend as psychiatrist? No doubt, Dr. Kalani.

“Dr. Kalani is an excellent physician. When I first met with him, he worked thoroughly to not only assess my presenting symptoms, but to also work collaboratively with me to identify and understand more subtle and latent symptoms that were affecting me. This comprehensive approach helped to create an awareness that has allowed me to effectively minimize the impact that ADHD has on my overall quality of life. Over the course of my treatment, Dr. Kalani has always been more than available to meet with me as I felt necessary, in addition to our regularly scheduled meetings. His ability to hear what I am saying, and to make adjustments in my treatment with me, and not just for me, has proven invaluable.”

I am very satisfied with the progress I have made keeping my ADHD under control. Dr. Kalani runs a very efficient office. I do not find myself sitting in the waiting room for longer than a few minutes and there has never been a problem making an appointment. My treatment has been very effective. I strongly recommend Dr. Kalani to anyone seeking a psychiatrist.

Since I began meeting with Dr. Kalani my life has improved dramatically. He was able to diagnose and treat my bipolar disorder and ADHD effectively.
I first met with him over the course of several weeks and explained my symptoms and answering detailed questions about my life and behavior.
During these visits he patiently explained these psychiatric disorders that were causing my symptoms and different treatment options. He told me about common medications, their effectiveness, risks and side effects. I tried different combinations of medications until I found ones that were able to control all of my symptoms.
I am now able to manage my time more easily and stay focused. I can make task lists and follow them. I set goals and achieve them and am much more productive. When I look back, it seems like I was never able to finish something that I started before receiving treatment.
Now, I do not suffer from depression or mood cycling that accompanies bipolar disorder. I can remember life feeling so hopeless at times. Now I am able to keep a positive outlook and continue to function and live a normal life for the first time. I have better self-esteem and have a positive outlook on the future.
The side effects from the medications that I take are either mild or have completely gone away. My family and friends have noticed the improvements in my personality and lifestyle. I am grateful for meeting Dr. Kalani and all that he has done to make my life better. Thank you!
