I have been seeing Dr. Aruna for about 6 months, and her treatment options are far better than what I’ve experienced with other psychiatrists. This holistic approach is so much better, and I’ve seen other benefits – more energy, etc. I highly recommend Dr. Aruna!

I’ve gone through a fair amount of psychiatrists over the last 3 years, and I would say that in my short time with Dr. Tummala she has shown to be the most intelligent psychiatrist I’ve had and, clearly, the most caring. She spends a lot of time with you, and the way she combines medicinal approaches and diet therapy and supplements is very effective.

Over the course of 25 years I have tried almost every med there is for depression and anxiety. The side effects overall were worse than the diagnosis. I was out of conventional treatment options. I was given Dr. Tummala’s name. Genetic testing proved the presence of muted genes. I was given prescribed amounts of B,D, fish oil, methyl folate, Ayurevedic supplements, gut and body detox treatments. I feel better each day! God sent!!

Dr. Aruna Tummala has the perfect combination of intelligence, compassion, and experience. Combine those with her keen listening ability and Dr. Tummala is a force for your health. She uses all her knowledge and experience to get to the bottom of what the actual issues are and aims to fix them. She has put me on the path to gain back my life. There are no words to express how grateful to Dr. Tummala I am.

Dr Tummala is my son’s Psychiatrist and he couldn’t be in better hands. He lives with Schizophrenia and has improved under Dr Tummala’s exceptional care. Prior to her care he felt like he was not heard or listened to and just handed a prescription. He really believes in Dr Tummala because she actually cares about his health, his future and has a vision/plan for better health for him. She treats the entire person, physiologically and emotionally. She is exceptional by all standards.

Dr. Tummala’s approach to behavioral health is holistic and integrative. It is much more than the classic psychotherapy/medication model–and is supported by unbiased, up-to-date literature and studies on the conditions she treats. Dr. Tummala is warm and accessible. She responds right away to patient or family member concerns, questions, and ideas. She welcomes family support and (with the patient’s permission) involvement in the treatment plan.

Dr. Tummala has been a wonderful part of a multidisciplinary team approach to assist a family member with chronic health challenges. Dr. Tummala looks for the underlying causes for illness and ways to bring a patient back into balance, while at the same time treating symptoms responsibly to avoid creating more imbalance. She shares her knowledge and experience while recognizing that each person is unique and includes the patient in creating an individual wellness plan. Dr. Tummala truly cares about the patient and their family and has been very responsive and supportive in times of crisis for our family. Thank you!

Dr. Tummala! Where do I even begin? For the first time in 10 years I have hope that I can live a happy existence, as my “best self”. I have been in the Western medicine “psych system” as a patient for over 33 years. I have seen countless Dr’s, and therapists in Milwaukee, Chicago, and New York City. I was diagnosed with depression, A.D.D., bi-polar, suffered from severe panic attacks & PTSD. I would self medicate to dangerous levels at times. I’ve been on and off all of the go to drugs – Prozac, Ritalin, Adderall, Vyvance,Trazadone, Colonopin, Xanax, Wellbutrin, Seroquel, Citalopram, and Paxil . . . Nothing really worked. I had extreme mood swings and aggression from the stimulants. The other drugs left me feeling tired, lethargic, foggy, not happy, not present. I did not feel like myself. I have experienced many happy years throughout my life, I knew I could be well, and I knew conventional treatment wasn’t working. I would express this to my psych and they would often suggest adding a med or tweaking the dosage. This never helped. I have been hearing about Integrative & Functional medicine for a few years, however, until now, there were no Dr’s practicing, until Dr. Tummala! She’s helping me change my life, i’ve never felt better, and I have so much hope knowing I can live a healthy life! Bottom line, as of now, my “mental illness” is gone, after a painful 10 years of being in “partial remission”. Additionally, Dr. Tummala is wonderful to work with. She is genuinely passionate about what she is doing, and you can tell. I have been able to be completely open and honest with her, and she has been patient, receptive, compassionate, and funny! This is all completely new to me, so naturally, I have a lot of questions. She has answers! I can call her anytime, and if she doesn’t answer, she will personally call me back before the end of the day. I’ve never had any Dr. be so attentive! I can’t strongly recommend her enough to anyone suffering from mental illness and i’m so excited to be her patient as she guides me on my journey!

I began seeing Dr. Tummala about six months ago. I was excited and curious about her holistic approach to psychiatry. When she first introduced the elimination cleanse I was extremely apprehensive. “You want me to not eat cheese?” I remember saying. When I first began I was becoming depressed about the foods I couldn’t eat and from the time I woke up until the time I went to sleep, all I thought about was food. I remember having a conversation with my father who said, “hey you’ve tried everything else and this cleanse isn’t going to kill you.” From that point forward I decided he was right. I chose to see a holistic psychiatrist, I elected to try this new way of managing my panic disorder. I will admit this was the hardest thing I’ve done; but now that I’m through the 100 days and reintroduced foods, I feel better then ever. I am on a regimen of vitamins and natural supplements and will be tapering off my medication. This is the longest time I’ve gone in ten years without a panic attack. We still have a lot of work to do, however every appointment is a learning experience and I’m elated to be on this journey. Dr. Tummala is truly an inspiration.
