“My brother has been diagnosed with schizophrenia about 5 years ago & despite consulting about 4-5 doctors, we could neither understand the illness nor help my brother effectively to enjoy life. We met Jyoti about a year & half ago. The best things about the way she treats are complete transparency, immediate help & integrity. While Jyoti & her mentor Dr. Prabhu, are medically one of the best doctors available in the country, the empathy & consideration they radiate is beyond words. With most doctors, I have seen hide the most critical information from the patient. With Jyoti, it has been the opposite. She has always made my brother & me aware of the treatment plans. As a human, it engraves trust & confidence when we know why we are doing what we are doing.  I recall 1 day after 1 year of treatment,  I broke down into tears in front of her saying, “Have I done anything wrong? Are we back to Square 1? “ after an episode of my brother. I recall the soothing words she said, “It is completely okay to feel overwhelmed. We are not back to Square 1. He is going to be fine. Don’t blame yourself because schizophrenic triggers can happen due to anything. ” These words help me till date when I feel I am losing control or feeling helpless.

She has also treated me for my anxiety disorder & guided me every now & then in taking mindful decisions. We have come a long way with Jyoti’s expertise, treatment procedure & constant counseling to keep us both on the path of growth both psychologically & professionally. Many of her patients with schizophrenia are living a well-off productive life & my brother is no exception.

For folks looking for help in mental health issues related to anxiety, depression, schizophrenia and many more mental disorders, I would highly recommend Jyoti. These issues are , unlike physical injuries are indeed “real” (although we don’t see blood) & need good care. We all need help at some point in life. But when the help comes from someone who is much more humane, kind & considerate, the sailing becomes much easier,”

“My wife was suffering from anxiety and depression which led her to be suspicious about me and my relationship with my friends. Initially it was difficult to understand and only led to arguments and fights. Meeting Dr. Jyoti was like Godsend for us. She is very calm in hearing all that is being said and is able to connect immediately with what is going through the patient’s mind.  She helped my wife in overcoming all the anxious questions, doubts and fears through talking, listening and prescribing the correct doses of medicines. 
Her art of listening is so perfect that the patient would literally empty out all the thoughts and worries in the mind.  She has a vast working knowledge of psychiatric, emotional, and mental disorders and the issues and symptoms that stem from these disorders.  
I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking help for anxiety/depression. I, my wife and my family have been greatly benefited by the care given by Doctor.  We have nothing but gratitude for Dr. Jyoti.”

“I consulted Dr. Sangle when I was forced to come to terms with my symptoms because I was not able to function. She was patient and attentive and did not jump to any conclusions up front. She started me on medication which she prescribed only after meticulously examining my history. Her treatment regime provided me a lot of emotional stability and I am becoming more positive and functional. She is a very adept and knowledgeable psychiatrist. She explains treatment plans and future expectations with complete clarity. It has been a big relief for me to be under her care.  Above all I found her non-judgmental, empathic and easy to communicate with.”

“I have been attached to Dr. Jyoti Sangle, since the past 3 years. She has not just been a Doctor but over the period has turned into my friend and understands my mental situation. She is a pillar of support. She listens to you patiently and tries to make you see both sides of the coin. She is more realistic and loves what she is doing. I look forward to every session with her as she makes me see things that I am not able to see because of my anxiety. She is a place where I can go for a shoulder to cry on and be myself. I dont need to be as what others expect me to be I know I will not be judged. Rather I will be comforted.  I am blessed and consider myself lucky to have her in my life.”

“डॉ जोती सांगळे म्हणजे सुस्पष्ट व तर्कसंगत विचारांची, खंबीर, कणखर व्यक्ती. माणसं ओळखणारी व माणसांच्या मनातलं ओळखणारी. भावनांना प्रतिसाद देणारी पण त्यांत गुंतून न पडणारी. जीवनातल्या सर्व आघाड्या समर्थपणे सांभाळणारी. मी नायर रुग्णालयात चिकित्सक मानसशास्त्रज्ञ या पदावर असताना ती तिथे मानसोपचार शाखेची विद्यार्थिनी होती. तेव्हापासून मी तिला ओळखते. विद्यार्थिनी दशेत ती अत्यंत प्रामाणिक, मेहनती, कर्तव्यदक्ष, आपल्या कामात प्रवीण अशी होती. खणखणीत आवाजात, स्पष्ट शब्दात, मोकळ्या मनाने रुग्णांशी संवाद साधणारी अशी.आजही ती तशीच आहे. माझ्याकडे मदतीच्या अपेक्षेने आलेल्या प्रत्येक मनोरुग्णाला सुयोग्य उपचार मिळतील या विश्वासाने मी तिच्याकडे सुपूर्द करते. व ती तो विश्वास दर वेळी सार्थ करते. तिच्याबरोबर काम करताना कामाचा निर्मळ आनंद मिळतो. तिच्या पुढील यशस्वी वाटचालीसाठी माझ्या मनःपूर्वक शुभेच्छा.”

“Dr. Jyoti Sangle is a strong and resilient person with clear and logical thinking. She recognizes people’s minds. Responding to emotions but not engaging in them. She is able to handle all aspects of life. When I was a medical psychologist at Nair Hospital, she was a student of psychiatry there. I have known her ever since. As a student, she was very honest, hardworking, conscientious, and proficient in her work. Communicating with patients with clear words and a free mind. It is the same today. I entrust her with the belief that every patient who comes to me for help will get proper treatment. And she makes that faith come true every time. Working with her brings pure joy to work. My heartfelt congratulations to her for her future endeavors.”

I have known Dr. Jyoti Sangle since our Med School days. She was always very sincere in whatever she did.  She would go out of her way to help others. Also, she would be very understanding and sympathetic towards everyone. So when she declared that she wanted to do her Masters in Psychiatry, I was very happy. As this was THE stream for her to follow! She had all the prerequisite talents to pursue Psychiatry. 

Certainly further training and honing of her skills under the best of guidance, at Nair Hospital, definitely took her way ahead of her contemporaries. 

Today she is a calm, kind, understanding, and sympathetic person/psychiatrist. 

I always refer any of my patients or family/friends having mental concerns to her with full confidence that she will definitely sort them out. And to date, I haven’t had a single disappointed or disgruntled feedback about her. All have always thanked me for referring them to her. It’s almost like, she does the work and I get the credit too!

Thank you Dr. Jyoti Sangle for being what you are and for all that you have done. 

Wishing you all the very best

Dr. Jyoti Sangle is not just an accomplished, experienced  Psychiatrist, she is also a very fine human being. This quality of hers endears her to all who interact with her professionally or personally. Her vast experience in the field of mental health and her ability to connect and communicate with empathy and compassion make her a truly inspiring Professional. There is much to learn from her.

I wish her all the best in all her endeavors.

I have had the honor of facilitating some workshops on Mental Health, along with Dr Sangle. These were also wonderful learning experiences for me.

Her passion and commitment to Mental Health and well-being are truly inspiring. I have had the honor of facilitating some workshops on Mental Health, along with Dr. Sangle. These were also wonderful learning experiences for me.

 My association with Dr. Sangle goes back around 9 years, and it is ironic that it was a common client who introduced us to each other during the course of treatment. In the past years, we have worked closely with some very complex clients ranging from those with dissociative disorders to severe depression, bipolar, and many with a borderline personality disorder. Clients usually develop instant trust with Dr. Jyoti because of her pragmatic yet empathic approach. Whenever a client is reluctant to meet a psychiatrist for fear of dependency on meds, I will usually recommend that they meet Dr. Jyoti. This is because she suggests medication only as per a client’s needs, and after a thorough evaluation. Most clients do not come back with a “fruit salad” of medication. She is also perhaps one of the few doctors who will in a straightforward way tell a patient they need therapy, not medication! It is rare to see a Psychiatrist do that. All I can say is I am fortunate to have Jyoti as a colleague, sounding board, and mentor.

“I count myself truly lucky to have found Dr.Jyoti Sangle, she is the best psychiatrist. Helped me with my father’s alcohol withdrawal treatment and dementia. she is very kind and was always there for me when needed, even helped me when she was out of town. It’s truly said doctors are god on this earth. Thank you Dr.Jyoti Sangle.”

“Our Baba had a knee replacement surgery almost 2 years back at the age of 84. Baba’s surgery was successful but the post operative complication was unbearable for him. After 2 months of surgery all the physical complications subsided. The new anxiety problem started which became uncontrollable. His restlessness increased. Our GP suggest us to see Dr. Jyoti Sangle. Dr. Sangle has been very fast in diagnosing Babas condition. Within a week 10 days we saw improvement in Baba. Now after 18 months under Dr. Sangle’s treatment , Baba is normal, We got him Back ! Thanks to Dr. Jyoti Sangle. We really appreciate her efforts not only on treating Baba but helping us to be strong along the way, she is been a God sent help.”
