I have been seeing Dr. Yana at Lakeside Behavioral Health for over 10 years, and I can truly say he is one of the best doctors in psychiatry. I would not want anyone else caring for my mental health. He is extremely professional, compassionate, and always available when needed. The office staff is also wonderful, friendly, professional, and efficient. The IOP at Lakeside has also been a life-changing experience. The environment is confidential, supportive, and healing. I would rate Lakeside and Dr. Yana a solid 10 out of 10.

I chose TMS because I wanted to actually heal the PTSD that had plagued my life for years. At my very first session, Tammy made me feel so at ease. After about 20 sessions, I really started to notice the PTSD slipping away. My social life began to feel more exciting and less obligatory, work became easier, I got a job with way better pay. I'm not a slave to PTSD and I am (almost entirely) free. Between Tammy, Connor, and Dr. Yanamadala, I couldn't have asked for a better or more supportive team.

★★★★★
I can't say enough great things about Lakeside. Everyone who works there is very kind and compassionate. Whenever I need to reach out with a question, they respond quickly. The therapist Edward Flynn is incredible at what he does. He really cares about each and every patient, and it definitely shows. He treats everyone with respect, and he really listens!

Lakeside Behavioral Health is outstanding and truly earns its five stars. The clinicians are compassionate, highly skilled, and genuinely attentive. They created a personalized evidence-based treatment plan for me, explained everything clearly, and adjusted it as needed. Thanks to their expertise and support, I've experienced meaningful lasting progress in my mental health. For effective compassionate care in a judgment-free environment, this is the place to go.

Dr. Yanamadala is the best doctor I have ever been to! He is very easy going and understanding. His staff is amazing. I received TMS from Tammy for 3 months, and it's the best thing I ever did. I have more energy, I am happy, and my overall quality of life has improved because of this team. Can't say enough good things about them!

★★★★★
As a long-standing patient of Dr. Yanamadala, I can tell you he always makes me feel welcome and takes the time to figure out the best program for me. He's helpful, taking that time to discuss the positive. I have family and friends that have gone to him for years, and everyone highly recommends him to others too.

★★★★★
Amazing psychiatric care! The TMS and IOP programs were wonderful. 100% would recommend this to any close friends and family looking to see what is available for their own unique needs. Everything is catered and truly worthwhile! Lakeside treats you like family and only has the best interest of their patients in mind!
Christopher J. · TMS & IOP
★★★★★
Dr. Yanamadala was extremely understanding of my current health problems and the anxiety that's associated with them. He worked with me to get my medication dosage dialed in for the best efficacious results. I couldn't be happier with Dr. Ashok Yanamadala, and if you have anxiety I would definitely recommend you give him a call.
Nathan A. · Psychiatry for Anxiety
★★★★★
Lakeside Behavioral Health is welcoming, well-organized, and staffed by people who truly care. The TMS and IOP services were excellent. It's clear they're dedicated to helping patients heal. I highly recommend this center to anyone looking for a thoughtful, effective treatment environment.
Mehnaz M. · TMS & IOP
★★★★★
In the two weeks I've been participating, I've received more genuine engagement and support than I expected to find anywhere. Their IOP will not disappoint you. I have a real community, with the tone set by the moderator (who is gifted and genuine), which radiates out to a truly diverse group of people that I didn't know I needed.
