Sundaram Savitri MD

"I was overmedicated under her care and now she will not even fill out the forms needed for my disability she had me on, she will not return calls about this nor can her office staff do anything. I don't know what to do at this point."

"I have only had trouble with Dr. Sundaram. She is very experienced and clearly cares about her clients, but seems severely overextended and unable to adapt to modern psychiatry practices. I have had to play phone tag with her secretary who seems miserable on every phone call to even have my meds sent to where I pick up from. Several times I have made a call to do this, been told it would be filled within the day, and gone to the pharmacy to be told there was nothing there for me. CVS pharmacy has called her what seems like hundreds of times to confirm a refill with no answer, and the detective work of finding out how i can get my meds falls on me. She operates almost entirely on PAPER records and I am asked about my phone number and the pharmacy's phone number by the secretary every time. It is 2021. An office computer costs maybe $2-300, which is a miniscule investment considering her likely considerable pay. I can't even remember how many times I've had to call to get my two month or three month refill when I've told them SPECIFICALLY AND IN DEPTH where and when I need it delivered. I would absolutely not recommend Dr Sundaram, but it would seem that being in a lower-income area such as Mine Hill/Dover, clients who know no better flock to her with their mental health needs. I have been taken advantage of for long enough and will be finding one of the many more competent psychiatrists available. If I was not recovered to the point I am with my mental health, medication withdrawals could have brought me to hurt or even kill myself. This is unethical, and honestly worthy of a lawsuit, but I, just as many of her clients, cannot afford to do so."

"Dr. Sundaram is a compassionate, intelligent, & friendly Psychiatrist. Found her very easy to talk to & also to listen to. She doesn't lecture but she listens, answers questions, & helps you find solutions to your problems."

"She treats her employees and patients poorly. I was a patient of hers for nearly a year. I pay out of pocket, she promised I would be seeing her every three months and I would just have to pick up my prescriptions monthly— which I have not been able to given the fact the She sees me every month for 3 minutes max and charges me as if she was spending at least 5 minutes of her time asking me how I feel. I am highly disappointed in her."

"Long time patient and a fan. She's very matter-of-fact but that's what makes her an excellent doctor. She's intelligent and responsive and her office staff is top-notch. Very pleased after 8 years. Great doctor!"
