A relaxed conversation
Your first visit is just a talk. Dr. Choudhury listens to what you're going through, in your own words, no forms to fill first, no jargon.
About the doctor
Care that starts with listening
Behind Asha Ra Kirana is one belief: people get better when they feel heard first. Meet the psychiatrist who leads it.
Psychiatrist · Patrapada, Bhubaneswar
Dr. Asish Asutosh Choudhury
Dr. Asish Asutosh Choudhuryis a psychiatrist practising in Patrapada, Bhubaneswar, with hands-on training from NIMHANS, one of India's leading centres for mental health and neurosciences, and experience as a former psychiatrist at AIIMS.
He cares for children, adults and older adults across a wide range of concerns, from anxiety, depression and ADHD to the harder days that don't have a neat name yet. Whatever brings you in, the starting point is the same: understanding you, not just your symptoms.
Patients tend to describe the same thing, again and again, he puts you at ease the moment you start talking. That ease is the point. Good care can't begin until you feel safe enough to be honest.
Your first visit
What to expect when you come in
A first appointment can feel like a big step. Here's exactly what happens, so there are no surprises.
No rush
You get the time you need. There's space to explain the whole picture, ask questions, and sit with it, never a rushed few minutes.
Nothing to prepare
You don't need old reports, a diagnosis, or the 'right' words. Just come as you are; anything useful, we'll work out together.
A way forward, together
By the end you'll have a clear, honest sense of what's going on and what the next step could be, agreed with you, not handed down.
How he works
An approach built around you
The same principles guide every consultation, whether it's a first conversation or years of ongoing support.
- Evidence-based. Treatment grounded in what the science actually supports, explained in plain language, never hidden behind jargon.
- Judgement-free. A calm, private space where nothing you share is too small, too strange, or too shameful to say out loud.
- Whole-family. Care across every age, child, adult and geriatric psychiatry, because mental health rarely sits with one person alone.
- Privacy-first. Everything you discuss stays strictly confidential, between you and your doctor.
