AMEN CLINICS REVIEWS

"My husband has been a client of the Amen Clinic for 2 years. The staff is professional and compassionate. We are always greeted with a smile and addressed by our names. The staff not only tends to my husband's medical needs but is mindful that family members sometimes need extra attention also. Rescheduling appointments and procedures is consistently done without complaint or delay. Our future visit reminders and follow-ups are always timely. Much of the stress of obtaining the appropriate care has been reduced by this incredible group of staff at the Amen Clinic. My husband and I are so grateful for the caring service we have received at Amen Clinic."

"My experience with the Amen Clinic is that they are professional and knowledgeable, very friendly and helpful in all interactions, and they have their clients' interests in mind. I felt safe in my dealings with them and knew that I was being heard. I appreciate the depth and scope of their examination and testing in that they look at the whole person and one’s life experiences, not just the results of a few tests. They follow up, guide the process during treatment, and make sure all questions are answered. In other words, they make it easy and one feels cared about. Dr. Parsons, my doctor, is knowledgeable about nutrition and supplements as well as the medical aspects, very pleasant, and focused on my needs. Briel Pikal, my Patient Outcome Manager, has been a delight to work with and a great support. In fact, all of my associations at Amen Clinic have been positive."

- Maribel

"The Amen Clinic team is top-notch! Highly competent, professional, resourceful, helpful, excellent educators, and kind and genuine human beings. Briel Pikal is a total pro! She is always prompt with her helpful guidance. She takes the coordination lead and genuinely makes a complex process easy to navigate. Plus, she's a delightful person to encounter! Dr. Lisa Parson is wicked smart and has an abundance of understanding and compassion. She is disarming and easy to speak with honestly; you absolutely sense safety and genuine care. I can't recommend the Amen Clinic highly enough. If you or someone you love is struggling, make the call, take the step."

- Tracy

"I read Dr. Amen's book "The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog" and it impacted our family in a huge way. Our son is adopted and was having some major behavioral issues that needed to be addressed. We made an appointment for SPECT imaging, and the results changed our lives. We will be forever grateful for the help, support, and recommendations that the professionals at the Amen Clinic provided us."

- Selena

"The Amen Clinic saved my life. They were my last resort, and thank God they were able to help me get back on track in life. I was suffering from PTSD, depression, and anxiety, and I decided to have a consultation with one of their doctors. He understood what was needed for me to get better. He recommended these supplements that were expensive; however, they were super effective! Thank you so much, Amen Clinic, and I hope to work with you long-term."

- Ameer

"The Amen Clinic is helping me with ADHD, which I’ve had my whole life. The staff is amazing, supportive, and very positive. I have known about Dr. Amen for over 20 years, and his methods have proven to be fantastic for so many people. Following my two brain scans at the clinic, I’m having Zoom conferences with a doctor from the clinic on a regular basis, and there is a treatment plan for me. I’m hoping for wonderful changes that will help me navigate my life."

- Jan

"My daughter and I had visits at the Walnut Creek clinic, and found everyone to be caring, friendly, and welcoming. Very professional without being formal, and definitely letting us know that if we need anything or have questions regarding our programs, we can call on them. We were particularly impressed with Dr. Emina and Simone. Both were very personable, and definitely attentive to my daughter's needs and personality, especially. Both gave us very good feedback and information that is continuing to help us implement the program. All of the support staff were very helpful, and everyone we interacted with had an easy sense of humor, which is very important for our family, which thrives on humor! Thank you so much!"

- Coletta

"From the moment I walked in the door, I felt I was in a very welcoming and friendly place. Both Sharon and Gigi were extremely pleasant and helpful, greeting me and my son each morning with a warm smile. Greg, the technician who did all the testing, was also very friendly and professional. My meeting with Dr. Johnson was very informative and helpful in allowing me to understand what I need to do to provide improvement. I am optimistic that changes that were recommended, along with the supplements, will allow my brain to improve. Just having confirmation of what I thought were the issues was reassuring."

- Mark

"I came to the Amen Clinic as a physician to get an evaluation of my memory. I had also struggled with depression after losing a spouse and one of my children. I was taught by Dan Amen in my courses by the American Academy of Anti-Aging. The clinic in Walnut Creek far exceeded my expectations. The front desk, the tech who did my brain scan, the nurse who took my history were all very skilled, friendly, and helpful. I had a wonderful follow-up visit with Dr. Johnson; the information I obtained will help me to move forward in my brain health for years to come. I would recommend these services without reservation. We are blessed to have resources like this available."

- Denise

"Worth every penny! I’ve tried dozens of medications for many, MANY different possible diagnoses over the years, but only the Amen Clinic found a diagnosis and solution that actually works for me. Their multi-pronged approach is highly effective, and their chance of success justifies the price point. There is so much overlap between diagnoses nowadays that often one disorder can look like another when all the factors are not assessed or considered. No psychiatrist or neurologist, even at the same price point, can make an assessment with the same kind of confidence as the Amen Clinic can. Conventional psychiatry is simply shooting in the dark, and neurologists use fMRIs that are too sensitive to find higher-level patterns in your brain. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone who has had a complex medical or psychiatric history. You’re in good hands."

- Avneesh

"Shout out to Briel, Dr. Mendenhall, and the whole staff! I got an assessment, and Dr. Mendenhall was able to find and address my concerns as well as things I didn't even know were a problem. I feel good, and I am healthier now than I have ever been. I am so grateful for this group."

- Elizabeth

"I was nervous, but I knew things were wrong with my brain for a long time. I had a great experience with the clinic and all involved. It was worse than I thought, but I’m so glad I know. I have multiple doctors helping me with what I need from each. Thank you to everyone who helped me and made the experience easy. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone who wants to know the truth of what’s going on with their brain."

- Francene

"Awesome experience!! Everyone in the whole office was nothing but nice and helpful. I was nervous to know how my brain looked after suffering multiple concussions but came away feeling absolutely great and empowered knowing that I am able to reverse the trauma and possibly be back better than before! Dr. Emina was incredible and extremely helpful. He made the whole process and recovery simple and understandable while demonstrating his great expertise and making me feel comfortable with everything. Overall excellent experience!"

- AJ

"I went to the Amen Clinic after failing to improve from a concussion that I sustained ten weeks earlier. I have just finished my three days of SPECT imaging, evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment plan. All of the people at the Walnut Creek Amen Clinic were extremely kind, helpful, and genuinely wanted to help me. From Gigi, who helped me upon entering the clinic, to Parker, Simone, and finally Dr. Emina, they all treated me like they only wanted the very best for me. This has been a life-changer! If I follow the clearly laid out treatment plan, I know I will not only have full recovery, but I will also have an even healthier brain! Thank you, Dr. and Tana Amen, and especially all of the Walnut Creek employees! You are the best!!!"
