I have been visiting Dr.Kannan for past two years. I took treatment for panic and anxiety disorders.
He always sits back and listen to my stories. After listening, he would explain me the positive side of me that how I managed the situation in an effective way.
Apart from medication, he is one doctor who really want me to improve my mindfulness over my life.
At the beginning of my treatment, I was not so confident without going out with medicines. But after practising his techniques over a month, I start to regain my confidence.
Now I can see that my state of mind is improving a lot. Even though I got relieved from the disorders, I am still practising those techniques for the betterment of my mind.
In summary, this man knows what he is dealing with and he is capable of resolving the problem.

Visited For Parent Counseling
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
He was great dealing with the issues from its root. He found that a mother’s stress is one of the reasons that’s a hindrance for child growth. Parenting is an important task that has to be done happily so he found the reason and gave me and my husband counseling on how to take care of the issues. He never prescribed any medicines at the same time it was more of suggestions and ideas that he shared how to deal with the issues.
I would highly recommend doctor Kannan for any psychological issues.
