Dr. Maitra is awesome! I can't say enough about her. She cares about her patients and has a great team of co-workers. Swati goes above and beyond and handles extra tasks for me. More than recommended for anyone who wants a great professional at an accommodating clinic with a lovely team of staff members. Thanks for everything, guys!

I didn't want to consult a psychiatrist because my lifestyle demanded mental health therapy. I thought I could do it all, handle it all, and be the superwoman everyone thought I was and my family expected of me...anxiety and depression took over my life and I tried everything to rise above it. In my 20s, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Left untreated, the symptoms tormented my life and hurt people I loved. Dr. Maitra is compassionate and the best psychiatrist around. She helped me understand I had a biological imbalance, not just a mental illness. She gave me the strength to share my journey without shame. Dr. Maitra has also been helping me with other private concerns, so I'm confident and hopeful I can overcome these too. Her office is gorgeous and her team handles the important aspects! I would recommend her to anyone who needs a second or third opportunity, is hesitant about a diagnosis, fears judgment, or has lost hope!

She's humble and kind. If you trust her, she can change your life too!

Review for Lumos Psychiatric Services.

I cannot recommend Dr. Sarbani Maitra and her team at Lumos Psychiatric Services highly enough. Finding specialized expertise for ADD can be a daunting process, but Dr. Maitra’s deep knowledge and clinical skill made me feel supported from day one.
Beyond her impressive expertise, Dr. Maitra has a truly kind demeanor and a great sense of humor, which makes every session feel both productive and comfortable. It is rare to find a physician who balances professional excellence with such a warm, approachable personality.
Her office staff is equally amazing, always professional, helpful, and welcoming. Additionally, the practice is in a great location right across the street from Stanford’s Good Samaritan Hospital, making it incredibly convenient. If you are looking for compassionate, expert care in San Jose, this is the place to go!
Finding the right doctor has been one of the hardest journeys I’ve ever been on — but Lumos Psychiatric has been nothing short of heaven sent.
Dr. Maitra is truly one of a kind. Every time I leave her office, it’s like someone turned down the volume on all the noise in my head. That quiet confidence of I got this — she gives me that. Every single time. I don’t know how she does it, but she does.
And the staff? I genuinely can’t say enough. Manisha, you are an absolute gem.
Places like this remind you that the right support truly exists.

Thank you
