Naidu Jayarama, MD

Cold, rude, arrogant and misdiagnosis just for starters. A complete disgrace to the profession. I base my feedback on past personal experiences and absolutely do not have a personal vendetta.

Dr. Jay is a sweet man deep down there somewhere. He can be on the rough side but as you continue going he lightens up. He’s knowledgeable in any medications I’ve inquired about and he is quick and thorough. I want someone who is intelligent and interested in my well being not someone who will just write out some scripts without a clue… Don’t expect a therapy session because that’s not what his job is. He goes above and beyond his responsibilities to you as his patient.

Dr. Naidu is a pill-​pusher. My ex-​wife went to him years ago and within two minutes he had her diagnosed and gave her various dangerous pills to «try out» (with horrible results)! My daughter recently went to Sherman hospital where he is the only psych they use. He talked to her a total of about 6 minutes in 4 days and billed 25 minutes a day! After she was released from the hospital, he wanted to send her to HIS facility for more «treatment». I refused and he said I had no choice. I argued and got her out of there. (She is doing exceptionally well, by the way) Now his office billed me an unreasonable amount of money without even sending to my insurance first! Now, 2 weeks later, they want to be payed in full or send it to a collection agency!
Naidu is a thief, his bedside manner is ludicrous and creepy-​clownlike, he is a dangerous pill-​pusher, and he should be stopped!

I recently moved to Illinois. My primary care doctor recommended that I see Dr. J. Naidu. He is alright. Yes, just alright. He is great if you are looking to get your medication filled quickly and get out of the office. HOWEVER, If you happen to have any sort of issues with say prior authorizations or anything that requires someone from their office to do something PLEASE DO NOT expect anything to be done in a timely manner. I had to call their office several times a day for 10 days! Finally they faxed the forms back to my insurance co. At first I recommended my husband to see someone else in the practice who he likes very much but we are both leaving to find a new psychiatrist who can provide THERAPY and if we need medication. My husband is on day number 12 without his medication still waiting for their office to literally make a 5 minute call for the prior authorization. Never ever have I gone through this with ANY doctors office since I’ve been here over a year now!

Just so you know… my ORIGINAL review was written back in 2007… There was no option for Mona Naidu… that is why I started my review CLEARLY with ONLY Mona’s name!
Plus I also stated the issues that billing office had… the billing office handles BOTH doctors!
Thank you very much!!!

this is a horrible doctor I agree with the other comments. Do not go to this doctor they do not care about their patients.

JAYARAMA NAIDU is a good doctor. Not the greatest in the world but I’ve only had one Psychiatrist and he’s it. Never have had any issues with him. I am diagnosed with ADD and he is very understanding and listens to my concerns about medication. When I asked to change medication he happily obliged and put me on something else. I have never had any of the issues that the last reviewer had. Might only apply to Mona? You should have mentioned that under a review for her and not Jay Naidu. Just saying.
