Prapti Mehta, MD

May I help you with a trip to the psychiatrist?
Why, thank you, my good Doctor. I will indulge, thank you very much, in the simple pleasure of mental exploration. Does she do good brain massage? I would be ever so pleased to lay bare the intimate details of my pitiful existence to the analysis of a seemingly too young practitioner whose face shines with high-​school after-​glow.
Was it as good for you as it was for me, Dr. Mehta? Dr. Prapti Mehta, MD — Medical Director Women’s Health Services, you are a darling. I love what you’ve done with your office. Only two weeks here in your office, and you’ve already decorated it with white paint unobstructed by pictures, or degrees. Your desk has no flowers, nor piles of paper.
I shared too much, too readily with you, no? Yes. I spilled out like a glass of milk knocked over. But, count your blessings. When I first met with my former therapist, Patrick Califa, I cried a lot and the self-​pity was obscene. And, by the way, thank you for the prescription, and for calling it in. I picked up some false eyelashes and baby aspirin while I was at the pharmacy.
We’ll see each other again. Two weeks, you think? Very well. We’ll meet over my broken life and laugh.

What can I say? Dr. Mehta is great. I felt comfortable with her from the moment we met. Our session seemed to breeze by. She is attentive and genuinely interested in one’s health.
