I have been absolutely amazed by the compassion and care I’m receiving through the Amen clinics. Everyone from the receptionists and call-center workers to the doctors have been very professional, attentive and thorough. They responded to my initial inquiry within 45 minutes, and were able to see me within 2 weeks. I didn’t get a response from my local health care system after I was referred for care for over two weeks, and that was to schedule an initial consult weeks later. The practitioners I’ve been working with are top notch and very accessible between appointments. I just can’t say enough good about my overall experience. And being able to use Care Credit to pay for my care allows me to pay on it interest-free for 18 months, which is extremely helpful.

Dr.Sood is one of the most compassionate and knowledgeable doctors I’ve ever met. He greatly helped my son after he had failed many other therapies. We are so blessed to have found him!

Dr. Rishi Sood and Administrative assistant , Fadyah Kayal , have both been supremely helpful and ultra professional at all times. We are so grateful for the service we received at the Amen clinic. A number of our family members have now received services at Amen with Dr. Sood. We have been 100% happy with our treatment and services. I recommend Dr. Sood without reservation for patients of any age. And Fadyah has been incredibly responsive and supportive whenever we have reached out. That has been invaluable for us. Thank you Dr. Sood and Fadyah. One suggestion is you may want to consider adding FMRI scans in the future so I could all my work ups at one place.

Great experience with the Amen Clinic and my provider. The team is very knowledgeable and thoroughly answered my questions at every step in the process.

My husband and I heard about the amen clinic through a friend and we are very pleased with the level of care and personal attention our family has received. Dr. Sood is wonderful. He is patient, flexible, and truly listens to our concerns. We feel like he really cares about improving our situation and that we aren’t just another patient on his schedule. This is so important to us. Particularly since our past experiences with psychiatrists outside of the Amen clinic have left us feeling frustrated, disheartened and unheard. We highly recommend the Amén clinic and Dr. Sood in particular for his level of care and his expertise. Thank you.
Morris Family
So far the experience has been good. The staff is extremely friendly and patient. The doctors are never in a hurry and spend an extraordinary amount of time with you. This does not happen in the typical doctor's office.

My daughter has dealt with anxiety and depression starting at a young age. After trying multiple medications and countless traditional treatments, she was only getting worse. Her counselor told us about the Amen clinic. I did some research and felt it was worth a try, even at the large out of pocket expense. We did the brain scans and the full work up. Dr. Sood has been amazing. He started her on supplements and monitored her medications that she had been taking. After a few months, he was able to change her pharmaceuticals to just one a day. She is taking a lot of supplements now. We have only purchased one supplement through BrainMed. I was impressed that the brand of supplements that are sold through Amen was not forced on us and I was able to find what she needed for less through Amazon. We have been on this journey for a little over a year now. My daughter is like a different person. Moods are much better and she is less depressed and actually able to function and find some joy in life. She still has a way to go, but I will say, that if we hadn't gone to the Amen clinic and discovered the power of supplements and nutrition, I don't know where she would be today. Thank you Dr. Sood and everyone at the Amen Clinic. You have all been so helpful. I thank God for sending us through your clinic.
Vanessa Bright
We are thankful for the information gleaned from the scans. We now have a diagnosis and know where to target treatment. Dr. Fillyaw was great. He was very responsive, knowledgeable and accessible.

Very very professional very organized and for doctors great manners they do very important work and make it easy for me
To understand
I can't recommend Amen Clinics enough! I first heard about them in 2015, and when I finally reached out, I discovered that I had an injury from playing soccer years ago. It was such a relief to get that clarity, and I can't overstate how much it contributed to my recovery.
What I really appreciate about Amen Clinics is the way they approach mental health--they're not like other psych practices. The team is incredibly validating, and their modern testing practices helped me understand my brain and my health better. I feel like they truly care, and it's clear they're on your side.
What sets them apart is the holistic approach. I've never felt pushed toward medication as the only option. They offer a variety of treatments and solutions, which made me feel seen and heard. I was apprehensive about meds for a long time, thinking that questioning their presence in my life made me a difficult person, but Amen Clinics really changed that perception. Their compassion and open-mindedness have had a huge impact on my health journey.
I'm so grateful for everything they've done, and I'm glad I found a place that respects me as a whole person.

Dr. Somner is the best!!!
My experience with Amen Clinic has been exceptional!!! Life changing!! Still have a challenges ahead of me. I have work to do. Amen clinic cannot do it for you but they definitely has headed me in the right direction. No more going down the rabbit hole of guessing what's wrong with me and why I wasn't getting better. Diagnosed brain means better brain, better life!!!
Thank you Dr. Amen and staff for an awakening!!!

I had a great experience with Dr. Fillyaw and Nneoma. From start to finish, they were professional, patient, and truly dedicated to providing excellent care.

Words can’t express our gratitude for Dr. Cornish & the Amen Clinics. After two decades of following Dr. Amens work & witnessing his compassionately generous influence on social media especially during COVID, I knew when the need came there was no doubt where we should go. Our oldest son fell very ill after thru-hiking the AT, he had mild pre-existing conditions that became uncontrollable, something conventional medicine couldn’t find the answers for. Amen Clinics wasted no time getting us in, did a full work up, took the time to explain thoroughly every test, the results & mapped out clearly what our next steps would be. Relief feels like an understatement. Another son, who has complex Autism, fell seriously ill after experiencing COVID. Because of Dr. Cornish’s meticulous expertise, the value she places on family input & her unique “down-to-earth” personality we received diagnosis & immediately secured IVIG treatment within a matter of a few months. We TRUST Dr. Cornish with all of our complexities. She leaves us with zero doubt that her care is genuine. Her staff is very responsive, welcoming & kind. After many years of dealing with overbearing & often condescending doctors of all fields for our son with complex autism, I can say with full confidence that Dr. Cornish & Amen Clinics is where it’s at. It feels like home.

My daughter and I have been patients at the Amen Clinic for over ten years. Dr. Annibali and Dr. Cornish saved my daughter’s life when other doctors failed to diagnose her correctly. Dr. Annibali passed away many years ago but I never forget how he treated my daughter. I”ll be forever grateful for all his help. Dr. Cornish is an excellent, caring doctor. One of the best human beings I’ve ever met. Our illness has been very long and hard and Dr. Cornish has, always, been there. Especially for my daughter, who has been struggling with severe mental complications. Dr. Cornish, always, does her due diligence, and never gives up on her patients. She figured out a long time ago that we couldn’t recover from Lyme disease because we have mold toxicity . Our situation is very complicated and we still live in a house that is making us very sick. We are very thankful for the Amen Clinic, Dr. Cornish and her assistant for their ongoing care and support .
Mary Catherine Reeder
We have had a wonderful experience with not only all of our Amen Clinics experiences but specifically with Dr. Somner and her assistant Audrey Carlson. They have been extremely helpful and caring. Dr. Somner is kind and experienced and has gone above and beyond all of our expectations. Audrey responds to my emails with questions I have had for Dr. Somner in a timely fashion. I am very thankful for the both of them :)
Emily Pope
These are REAL professionals when it comes to the brain! So glad we found Amen Clinics. My daughter finally has been diagnosed with PANDAS. 5 other DRS misdiagnosed her. One even told me nothing was wrong with her. She went from straight A student to failing 3 classes and OCD so bad she couldn't function, Local drs in my town have never heard of it. So very grateful for them!! They are fantastic with kids also. They are very in depth with testing and diagnosis. We have done most appts online because we live 4-5 hours away. I was skeptical about spending the money, but it was worth far more than they charged!

I required special care and understanding for a terrible speech impediment I suffered as a result of trauma. Dr. Mitchell at the Reston location was allowed to consult with my team while I was hospitalized, which has a significantly positive effect on my treatment. I have a cross-dominant, ambidextrous type brain. When both hemisphere's are not synced up in a balanced way, I'm basically in glitch City and lose my ability to speak in any way that makes sense. I'm 53 but if you heard it- you would think I'm not even 3 because the average toddler has a better command than I do in Glitch City. For a speaker, a private teacher, etc- this was a horrifying experience for me. I do not know ofanother institution anywhere which could have helped me during my most vulnerable days. I got my brain scans done and had a great meeting with Dr. Mitchell to discuss the pretty good results (for me!) and decide the best course of action for treatments going forward. Read Dr. Amen's books, invest in your best brain... It is a magical feeling when you've suffered such a devastating loss of faculties and then gain it back again. If you ever need help such as I did, please go here!
I recieved great care throughout the whole proccess. From the front desk to the follow up by Dr. Mitchell. The scans were helpful to see what is going on in my brain. Thank you all and Merry Christmas!
Patricia Miranda
Amazing assessment and evaluation of brain related conditions. Staff and doctors are super professional and attentive.
Dianne Cornell
We have had a great and positive experience at Amen clinic. Our physician and everyone there has been so kind and caring to us. They have helped us over the hurdles we were faced with. Dr Rutkofsky and Nneoma have been especially helpful, supportive and encouraging! All correspondence are done promptly. Thank you for your care!
Hugh Youngblood
Amen Clinics provided top quality and very professional service at a time when I needed it most. I recommend them and received strong recommendations for them from loved ones as well.
Miana Cronk
Was initially scared that they might "look down on me" in a sense as I have experienced with a different clinic. Didn't feel that way at all from the team in Reston! Everyone was kind and helpful!
Rachel R Wolf
I have been corresponding with Audrey Carlson, Dr. Somner's assistant. She is very attentive and prompt. She is also accurate and communicates well.
Shelby Nutz
I have been seeing Dr Somner for several years and she has been nothing but kind, attentive, empathetic and supportive for my mental health journey. Her assistant Audrey is very responsive to questions and stays on top of my requests (and with the unfairness of national medication shortages, the headache of prior authorizations and the confusion of coordinating between Dr, pharmacy and insurance, I have PLENTY of requests). Highly recommend AMEN clinic and Dr Somner for those interested in holistic help for mental challenges!
The quality of service is very good here. The Doctor and the entire staff are very attentive. They take their time and explain things well, giving you time to ask all of your questions. They offer many suggestions for recovery.
Kim Smith
Amen Clinics treats a family member. All of the physicians and team members have been compassionate and supportive. Everyone is polite, and they answer questions quickly. I had a question about a procedure code, and Elizabeth answered immediately. We were referred by a friend, and we are glad we found Amen Clinics.

Dr Somner and her team are the best!

The people at Amen Clinics do amazing work. It makes sense to me that with modern psychiatry, the diagnosis you receive based on a certain set of symptoms shown in similar cases is not the best way to do things-as people are not one-size-fit-all. At the clinic they do a scan of your brain and show you where the activity is heightened that shouldn’t be and where activity is too low, among other tests. What they showed me explained a lot about why I do what I do- and there’s natural things I can do about it. I just like that it’s personalized care for what’s most important to me. Since seeing Dr. Somner, I’ve made changes that have impacted me for the better. I wish this care was accessible to those who need it most-everybody, really. Like- with your annual check up get an annual brain scan. Because a lot of people with mental issues are misdiagnosed or looked at with a stigma when the real issue is with their brain health and finding out specifically what they need-medication, supplements, or other wise that would help them function at their optimal best. I don’t want anything holding me back from achieving my greatest potential so this was another step in the process for me- I want my mind to be as healthy as my body and I wish there was an organized way to ensure others can receive the same type of care. America’s healthcare system isn’t set up that way. Care is more reactive to problems than preventative. By the time it’s diagnosed the issues are a lot of times too far gone. For real, let’s make this care accessible on a regular basis to those who can’t afford it-it’s necessary. That would be my only critique
Victoria Shelton
Dr. Mitchell's assistant Elizabeth has been excellent to work with! She has handled the many administrative details that have arisen with friendliness, professionalism and care; especially helping to navigate costs without insurance. Thank you!
Amitai Blickstein
Our family’s case has not been too complicated, but my experience with amen clinics has been positive overall, with professional, timely, and helpful service.
ZGH
Every step of the journey through the Amen process was met by highly competent, knowledgeable, and personal people. The whole experience far exceeded my expectations.
K K
Very thorough brain scans, follow-ups, and psych review + a supplemental protocol….
Dr. Sood and the Amen Clinic staff have been amazing to work with over the past 18 months. He has been a godsend for our family. His genuine concern for patients helps him earn trust. He has a true gift, and we are thankful to have him in our lives.
Kristina S. Griffin
The team is well trained, and seem to enjoy their work. Everyone was welcoming and courteous.
San Beulah
They are a caring facility and you will be connected with experts. Just don't expect concierge service "add-ons" to be free, you get what you pay for....
Angel B
I like the great conversation this brings to my mind. Dr. Cornish is a great Doctor and I always look forward to meeting with her. This a great clinic. I recommend this natural path doctor. She offers zoom meetings.
Noelle White
Dr. Mitchell is wonderful. She is knowledgeable, patient, kind and truly cares about her patients. Her assistant Elizabeth is wonderful. She is always on top of things. So thankful for them both.
John Witter
My experience in working with the Amen Clinics has been amazing! I have especially enjoyed working with Dr. Meinhardt and appreciate the knowledge I have gained.
archimedes kyrillidis
Very good brain exam, and follow up. Learn about your most important part of your being, the brain, and how to improve.
L Nofsinger
The Amen Clinic is invaluable in demystifying the underlying cause of mental health challenges. Instead of feeling helpless, they empower patients to see why specific symptoms have been occurring? And give practical customized guidance on how to improve brain health and reduce long-standing symptoms. It’s so empowering to learn that one can shift what was mistakenly believed to be permanent personality traits that are really just symptoms of a malfunctioning brain that can be remedied through guided lifestyle choices. I’m so grateful for the Amen Clinic!
Krkior Marderosian
Front line team are amazing! Brianna, Elizabeth Ramos-Ayala, and Audrey Carlson. You guys great!. I am very proud of you
Dr. Jackie Meinhardt is honestly my lifesaver. I have been to countless different doctors, specialists, naturopaths, etc. She is so knowledgeable and looked at things no one has looked at before, drawing conclusions no one has been able to prior. I love that she leans more towards solving the root rather than putting a bandaid on the symptom. and that she isn't shoving prescriptions down my throat. We just started working together but I am hopeful for the future...
Wafa A
I am comfortable with the care for my child and for myself. I very much like the physicians working with us. they are accessible, responsive and insighful.
claudia haithcock
Absolutely wonderful. Doctor Sood’s is prescribing natural supplements to help clear shingles and for more sleep. Thank you, thank you, Claudia .
Candela Rapela
My experience with the Amen Clinic is very positive. My kid was treated before by the best professional on ADHD for the first 6 years of treatment, after seen not success with standard ADHD medicine I started the Amen Clinic path, which is expensive, but they really got to the root of the problem; I could have tried all the medicine in the market, but her problem finally find a solution/ treatment when we knew what we were against. Dc Cornish (Reston, VA), infectiology’s is a living library of knowledge regarding what my kid has and suffered, very knowledgeable and always working with the family to treat my kid and achieve her best outcome. Dc Rosario (Miami) is wonderful as well, always treating her based on her responses / analysis and results and not just adding one more pill. I can go on and on, but to be clear, if you want to know the ROOT of the problem, here is the place to start. Take it as an investment, knowledge is all.
Sarah Shakeri (Fit Fueled Foodie)
I worked with Dr. Mitchell at the Amen Clinics of Reston, VA and she was hands down the most empathetic, compassionate and detail oriented doctor I ever had the pleasure of working with. She really took note of important details and context I shared with her (which many doctors often disregard), and she listens for clues that can guide treatment recommendations. Under her care I did extremely thorough bloodwork, cortisol testing, supplements and tried other supportive treatments that she suggested. My treatment was a journey of learning even more about my own body, my brain and healing techniques that even as someone well educated in health, wellness and nutrition, were new pursuits for me. Dr. Mitchell definitely values using natural remedies, mindfulness and healing from within. Unfortunately, Dr. Mitchell's caring demeanor alone was not enough to save my health/psychiatric journey at this time from being very agonizing and tumultuous. I was weaning off of a very powerful medication that had begun to cause a lot of side effects and rampant health issues for me, but tapering and finally getting off of it was one of the hardest things I've ever done due to the incessant and intense withdrawal symptoms I suffered from for an entire year! It was certainly one of the darkest, most hopeless times of my life, functioning was nearly impossible. I lost weight and strength, I had terrible body aches that made my chronic pain much worse, my nervous system was completely dysregulated, I became very frail, deeply depressed, losing the will to live, I couldn't sleep through the night and was chronically sleep deprived running on fumes, I was in severe physical and emotional pain. It was a time that I wasn't able to participate in my life or do many things I once enjoyed, let alone basic things like cooking and cleaning. I diligently tried all the recommendations, supplements, treatments and tapering schedule Dr. Mitchell recommended, and I am sure these things had some benefit, but nothing seemed to help significantly to relieve my suffering from the withdrawal. The risk and severity of withdrawal from intense medications like this aren't discussed enough. The medical system is so quick to put people on medication, but not well trained at how to help people get off of it and honestly not enough is really known about this. However, had I not had a doctor as skilled, detailed and compassionate as Dr. Mitchell, I would have been much worse off and might not have been able to get through that period, which I finally did! Together, we assessed my progress, made tweaks, tried other medication as a temporary fix, or even changed our approach in some cases. At the end of the day, it just took time, time for my brain and body to adjust and finally be able to sleep again (naturally, without medication). It took a year but I am now fully off that medication that caused serious issues for me, (even causing me to suffer a bad fall, concussion, nose and neck injury due to sedation while on the drug) and can finally say it's behind me. This process has done a lot of damage to my body and I am still recovering but I finally feel much more like myself again and I am grateful to Dr. Mitchell for guiding me. The cost of the Amen Clinics was too expensive, but it was at a time that I needed to ensure I was pursuing the best possible psychiatric care, leave no stone unturned, and the brain scans gave me clarity about my diagnosis and my path forward.

The clinic has been great. Dr. Mitchell is awesome!! Truly life-changing for me!

My daughter was suicidal and in serious crisis. Amen Clinic was nothing short of an answer to prayer! We were sent to them by a counselor who had seen results before. Dr Linsk and Dr Sood are fantastic! After a battery of test our original doctor (Dr Linsk) determined what she needed and how best to treat her. Within weeks she was a completely different person and we got our happy, smiling, joking daughter back! This place is amazing and I still can’t believe how such a simple change in vitamins/minerals could make such a huge difference. Dr Linsk left so we are now with Dr Sood, he is just as great as our previous doctor. If you or your family member is in crisis, this is the place you want to go!
dan dan
Very pleasant Doctor Meinhardt to be patient with me and mental challenges, we are still working on good health, thank you also Nour, for retrieving info for me that I lose.
Nicole Rollins-Lamar
Dr. Sood at the Amen Clinic demonstrated an incredible bedside manner, toward me and my son. He was also very professional, clinically sound, and also very organized and collaborative in his treatment recommendations.
Dr. Sood has provided our family with exceptionally good care. Through every stage of the process his compassion, expertise and excellent communication skills have set him apart from the other psychiatrists we have consulted over the years. Dr. Sood is an amazing advocate on behalf of his patients and Faydah, his assistant, is caring, and dedicated to getting patients what they need with precision and speed. I strongly recommend Dr. Sood and Fadyah.
mary slate
For my newly diagnosed adult ADHD, this clinic has been very positive. The assistants Bri and Nor are concerned and helpful and you always can get to them. They have smoothed communication excellently. Drs. rutkosky and meinhardt's treatments have been lifechanging. They explain things exceptionally clearly . As a health care professional myself, my experience was that it was worth the borrowing money to get the SPECT scans. I especially recommend them if you are young and trying to understand how to live life being born 'brain different'.
Constantine Tsutras
Dr. Rutkovsky has been a very attentive and caring doctor. He understands my situation and is helping me through it. I appreciate his professionalism and compassion.
Dr. Meinhardt prescribed supplements for me including Berberine, that lowered my bad cholesterol substantially after taking it for six months. I have been tracking the cholesterol for seven years when I came to Kaiser on a statin and was given the opportunity to go off because of my profile. I trust my care to the GP doctors who advice me, but high cholesterol was continuously flagged by psychiatrists and Dr. Meinhardt and I was considering asking my GP if I could go back on a statin. But when I had my cholesterol level checked for my physical, it was almost within normal range.
Yesim Aksoy Schley
We have been working with Dr. Cornish of Amen Clinic's Reston location close to 1.5yrs now for my high school student daughter's complex chronic health issues. My daughter also had four concussions and was diagnosed at the Children's National Hospital with "post-concussive syndrome." She has to live her life in constant pain, dizziness and at times with nausea. I agree with every single review here on Dr. Cornish that expresses great satisfaction with her care and expertise. I want to keep this short and sweet: Dr. Cornish is a great MD who couples her wide array of tools from functional/holistic medicine with whatever tools of conventional medicine that are needed for the case at hand, tailer's a healing/treatment plan for the patient, educates her patients, and makes it clear and easy to follow instructions every step of the way. We had been to other functional medicine doctors in the past for my daughter's chronic and complex medical issues, but no other doctor was able to actually trigger in my teenage daughter a willingness to take the necessary medications and supplements consistently, and the realization that she as the patient has a great responsibility in helping herself get well. Dr. Cornish connected with my daughter really well and eased her into the treatment plan without overwhelming her, baby step after baby step. Today, my daughter's symptoms are better, lab results are getting better, and she is happier than before, able to function for longer periods of time in the day despite her symptoms. She likes her doctor very much too. Additionally, we have had no issues with the front desk staff or Dr. Cornish's assistants. Everything has been to our satisfaction. Finally, I know Amen Clinic does not work with insurance companies, but the expertise they have and provide is well worth it. We are not a wealthy family, but we believe that the biggest investment we can make is the one that is for our own health. I would rather be with the best care I can get than continue to watch my kid suffer with so many severe symptoms. I guess my review ended up being not so short, either. :-)
Paula White
Very thorough, informative and comprehensive
Dr. Mitchell is very kind and patient. I have a lot of health issues and it has been difficult finding the right treatment. I like that they start with supliments and diet before medications and have noticed some improvement with the supliments my body has been able to tolerate. With the help of both Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Plante I am optimistic that we will be able to find a way for me to be fully functioning once again. We have already pinpointed some things that other doctors were not able to find. The only complaint I have is that it was hard to get a hold of her office via phone. I learned that it is best to email even though sometimes talking on the phone is eaiser for me. I would recomend Amen Clinic to anyone who can't get answers with their doctors.
Patricia Staf
We benefited from the videos we watched.
shediac Rawy
I usually look forward to my zoom call with Dr. Eboni Cornish. I no she is going to be clear, fair and honest about what is going on and give us good recommendation s which will gladly follow until our next appointment.
Samantha Carter
I am very happy with Dr. Meinhardt. She is a good listener and very interested in seeking concrete solutions to my health issues. Importantly, she thinks outside of the box and is diligent about finding solutions, even to problems where other doctors tend to throw up their hands. She doesn't hesitate to try a variety of treatment options and isn't afraid to use trial and error to find a treatment that works. Additionally, I frequently correspond with her assistant Nour about scheduling appointments and medication refills. Nour is equally responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!
Rebecca Sudhoff
I have been a patient of Dr Meinhardt's for the past few years and she is phenomenal! Honestly she has saved me from debilitating chronic pain when no other doctors would help me. She is so easy to talk to and understanding and I could not recommend her more!
Janet Sclaroff
I am in the midst of working with Amen Clinic's and I am so impressed by the professionalism, knowledge, and caring. I'm feeling excited and hopeful for the first time after many years of frustration with my situation. I found Dr. Somner and Jackie Meinhardt to be wonderful and very helpful. I'm so grateful that I started working with the Amen Clinic's. Thank you all!
Dr. Kristie Mitchell helped a family member wean off prescription medication for a sudden mental health crisis in a kind and compassionate way. I am not sure how much the brain scan helped if at all but I highly recommend Dr. Mitchell.
Severina Sol
I continue to work with and appreciate the healthy evolution of brain love and focus! Nour and Dr Reinhardt are expertly attentive, great listeners. Nour always responds with kindness and promptly. Dr Reinhardt is very perceptive and encourages me at what level my point illuminated focus and action is. Considering this for our children as well! My partner and I paid for the initial scans and follow ups. They also did this in 2017 for themselves. Now we are looking forward to continuing our brain care with Amens Clinics.
Jim Prietsch (Retired Guy)
Dr.Lillian Somner is a highly educated and experienced professional whose analytical skills serve her patients well. And those skills make her an exemplary, medical professional on the Amen Clinic staff. Dr. Somner has a superb "bedside manner" that signifies a warm and caring manner to her patients, and her years of study and practice in treating injuries to the brain provide comfort to those patients that she is truly at the top of her field in analyzing and treating brain injuries and anomalies.
David Carroll
I had a wonderful experience with the Interactive Metronome Therapy with Mary Schlesinger. I was not aware of this form of therapy, but it worked for me. I now listen more and I'm more prone to be emphatic. Before, I was always in a rush but now I take the time to smell the roses. No longer overwhelmed by large projects, I'm able to see them through to the end with the least amount of anxiety. A big shout of appreciation to Ms. Schlesinger. I needed someone who was patient, understanding and compassionate. She came through for me with flying colors.
Kerry Egan
I was severely depressed and unable to work for the better part of three years. 5 years ago I was diagnosed with BiPolar I. I had heard of Dr Amen and the SPECT scan but continued seeing my local Psychiatrist with little success. In February of 2023 I was desperate and booked an apt. My life is completely different today! I’m physically well, mentally well, working and maintaining social connections. I exercise every day. Dr. Rutkofsky and staff are top notch. After the scan and other tests I also received an ADHD diagnosis. My BiPolar meds were also changed a bit and I began taking supplements. I can’t say enough to just go to the Amen clinic if you’re struggling with a mental health Illness. I may have to spend a couple hundred dollars a quarter since they don’t work with insurance but it is well worth it.
Chele Hipp
The help Amen Clinic, Dr. Sood, and his assistant Ashlyn have given our family has been nothing short of amazing. We are deeply grateful.
Mary Jacobs
My personal experience with Amen Clinics has been one of great attention. I have felt heard and my needs have been addressed from the beginning. I started seeing Dr Somner after a car hit me from behind 4/30/21 while driving on the freeway. I had several concussions throughout my life but this accident really caused a host if new issues. I had gone through a bad divorce dealing with trauma from this and then this accident. I had very stressful family and history of health issues from Lyme disease that were resolved until this accident. I new when my concussion doctor told me I needed to see a Neuropsychologist after this accident that I wanted my brain scanned due to symptoms of severe ADHD, PTSD symptoms, dysregulation, Depression, grief, sadness and tearful, Migraines and difficulty sleeping. I had a history of concussions and history of Lyme disease and was having great difficulty focusing as well. Often she had to slow me down because I was so anxious. Dr Somner put a very thorough plan together for me. She was straight forward, honest and very compassionate. I came to her with much grief and relational problems on top of other things mentioned. I would obsess about things and I was seeking a professional to give me direction. I did not expect her to have all the answers but I found her expertise in natural health and psychiatry was what I was seeking in a Psychiatrist which is very unique today. Each visit I took very serious and set personal goals to get better each time we met. I asked for guidance and did not expect her to do it all for me. Sometimes things worked and sometimes we had to discuss what worked and did not. The staff addressed my concerns when they arose. Unfortunately, while I was seeing my doctor I ended up having a hospitalization which had nothing to do with her treatment but due to Digestive issues due to chronic stress. She helped me more than my gastro doctor with wonderful suggestions plus she was willing to help me with my FMLA paperwork and guide me to a best options. She looked out for my best interest. The insurance does not cover these visits but I was able to submit the codes to my insurance and hoping to still get some coverage for my visits. I am back to work at almost full-time hours and running a small consulting practice, while caring for 3 family members, have a healthy relationship and doing fantastic. I am again able to help people with Lyme disease and health issues like mine avoid the run around. I could not get back to work and my passion to help others if it was not for Dr Somner and her assistance Kennaz and Amen Clinics. Kennaz was very responsive and always kind and courteous. I can't say enough how grateful I am to both of them and the other staff that has helped me a long the way! Bless all of you for what you do for your patients. Gratefully yours, Mary I see some reviews that have not been positive. I can only share my experience and hope it helps someone know their is hope and Amen Clinic provides a very comprehensive integrative approach with expertise. 5 stars and would give 10 starts if I could. Love and Blessings, Mary

I have never written a review for any type of medical facility because I have hated every one of them, but I love the Amen clinic! I always knew something wasn't right with my thoughts and the Amen Clinic pin pointed the problem by using the spect scan. I have suffered so intensely most of my entire life and the care team at the amen clinic have helped me so much! The clinic is organized and accessible for ongoing treatment. too. I usually despise and hate any doctor that I interact with more than two appointments until the Amen clinic. . I have been working with Dr. Somner for 18 months now and I like her more and more. The Amen clinic has changed my life for the better. My overall suffering has greatly decreased and when I have spikes of suffering, I have credible resources that I have confidence they will help me get back on track.

I have been a patient of Dr. Eboni Cornish since 2018 (before she moved to Amen Clinic). I am forever grateful that through Dr. Cornish, God has provided answers to what was/is causing the devastating and debilitating chronic conditions from which I suffer. I am truly thankful for Dr. Cornish’s willingness to take on my VERY complex case. If I had not have been able to have access to her care, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that I would NOT be here today… She played a HUGE part in saving my LIFE and has stuck around to help me through this lifelong healing process and is considerate of the financial impact that long term care necessitates. Patients like me that survive the horrors of life altering illness coupled with inadequate medical care due to lack of knowledge and empathy from most healthcare providers are often at the “end of the rope“ physically, mentally, and spiritually; so, finally discovering there was a doctor that was well versed in treating patients with my complex issues and unique condition was an answer to prayer. At my first visit, she took the time to do a detailed medical history, physical exam, and go through stacks of medical records. She made a clinical diagnosis based on my history and symptoms and sent labs to appropriate laboratories which came back supporting the diagnosis. She looks at the WHOLE picture and develops tailored care plans to help me with each piece of the puzzle. While she is there support you on your journey to better health, she also makes it VERY clear that YOU must do your part and that “your part” is NOT just popping pills and supplements.. “your part” is actually a HUGE part of healing and includes cleaning up your diet, changing or improving your environment, detox baths, gut health,paying attention to your spiritual, mental, and relaxation needs and making necessary changes to promote healing. I‘ve come a long way since she has been my physician and I am very thankful for her help and knowledge of functional/holistic medicine and the assistance of her long time nurse, Anthony. Anthony was always very quick to get back to me with ANY concerns I had and I certainly miss his presence in my care... I am hopeful that she will find a nurse that is just as efficient. I am also thankful for Elizabeth and Kaitlynn at Amen Clinic (Reston, VA) who take the time to step in to answer questions and respond to emails in between visits. Overall, I have received excellent ongoing care at Amen Clinic (Reston, VA) and though I still suffer greatly, my life was saved and I have had notable improvement in my conditions which in turn led to improved quality of life.
I can't imagine that there's a better doctor out there than Dr. Cornish. Instead of putting a bandaid on symptoms and overprescribing, Dr. Cornish is hyper-focused on addressing the ROOT of the issues. I came to her with insomnia-- most doctors threw drugs at me, but she uncovered my extreme mold toxicity. She listens, believes, and educates her patients. It's been a journey getting my body back in synch, and she has a plan with every step. If I come to her with a new issues, she knows exactly why I'm feeling that way, comes up with a detailed plan, and resolves the issue. To say that I trust Dr. Cornish is an understatement. She is the best of the best, hands down.

These people are absolutely wonderful!! Without a doubt, their Brain SPECT Scans are right on the money!!! This I know, for certain, cause there was something I did not share in my Welcome Packet (not thinking clearly/embarrassing) Dr. Mitchell, pointed it out to me yesterday. She does not know it yet, but on the back of my skull there was some trauma done way back when I was 18-19 years old. I have been impressed with ALL OF THE AMEN CLINICS STAFF!!! They truly are compassionate and carrying! This clinic, by far, has Patience, understanding and a whole lot of Grace! I feel heard, Finally, and though I still have an uphill battle; Dr.'s Meinhartd, Mitchell and Care Coordinators, are my first time (in 42 years and 2 weeks) I have a voice that is Genuinely being heard!!! Cody too!! I am Humbly Thankful, to God Almighty, for Amen Clincs! ❤️😊

I was pleasantly surprised with the knowledge and expertise of Dr. Minehardt. I had my children go through the Amen pathway, helpful for some and not for others. I went to Dr. Minehardt for myself without going first through Spect scans. Her thorough testing got to what seems to be the problem, which is treatable and recommended non-Amen supplements. I never felt like this clinic wanted my money or was offering me services I didn't ask for. And Dr. Minehardt is brilliant regarding brain health. Highly recommend.
Tessy Ortiz
Dr. Cornish has changed my family's lives. She treats my husband, my 2 minor children and myself. We feel so much better thanks to her medical advice. We are very grateful.
Jeremy Murphree
Dr. Cornish saved my life, literally. I had tick bites growing up and always had nasty skin conditions. Then I started going crazy, being angry and acting foolish... Dr. Cornish fixed all that nonsense real quick - with legit science and medicine! Now I finish projects, went back to school, keeping my customers happy, and wondering why it took 40 years of trial and error with all kinds of doctors to get to this point of remediation. It's like my entire personality improved - and I listen to people for a change! Don't hold out on your future, if you're thinking you got Lyme disease or something that can go along with it - CALL DOCTOR CORNISH AND GET IT FIXED. You're going to love the new you 😎
deb kereczman
We have had a positive experience with the DC area/Reston, VA Amen clinic. They have worked with us on potential solutions and this last month, we landed on one that seems to be MAKING A DIFFERENCE! We are grateful to Dr. Ian Rutkofsky for building his relationship with our son to help him with effective and realistic treatment options.
Michelle Peachey
Everyone was so helpful and pleasant.I found if you follow through what the Dr's tell you, you can get help and results.Amazing experience. Would recommend anyone that needs help to go there!

Aida Barnette
The staff at Amen Clinics in Reston, VA, has been professional, polite and very efficient. They are clearly busy yet take the time to serve. Once I became familiar with the process, it was easy to navigate. The technician was delightful, a sweet, sweet woman with a kind and gentle hand. The front office staff has been efficient, even innovative, and very patient with my older lady ways. An intelligent group of people with high standards and caring souls; I'm grateful to be in good hands.

I have been referred to this clinic from one in Atlanta because of the Interactive Metronome therapist, Mary Schlesinger. This treatment is so beneficial for my Adult ADHD and trauma symptoms. Without Dr. Amen’s understanding of the cerebellum and without the use of the brain scan I wouldn’t have the newly found balance in walking and on the stairs, better posture, and much better control of what I say and my movements. I can’t recommend Mary highly Enough! She is an incredibly patient and thorough therapist. This treatment is far better than talk therapy or even EMDR for my specific issues with talking too much, impulsivity and overall lack of coordination and balance. It is to my understanding that Interactive Metronome therapy is also helpful for autism and also for folks that have had a stroke or have Parkinson’s disease..I am so grateful to the Amen clinic and to their IM therapist. This is very important and ground backing work for my trauma symptoms and again impulsivity. I hope this review can help somebody else get the help they need with: focus ,coordination, and control! 🙏
Patricia Janitz
Our experience with Amen Clinics was very positive. Dr. Jordanby is kind, caring and respectful. She did a wonderful job explaining the scans and going over our family's brain scans and individual treatment plans. I also appreciate the educational material about the brain regions in our folders. It is a helpful resource that enables us to learn more about healing and preserving our brain health. It's not enough to be willing to work hard to improve your health. We must also know we are working in the right direction. I feel confident that Amen Clinic has helped us find the right path to wellness. I would highly recommend Amen Clinic to everyone.
Eugene Peter Wittkoff
Well worth the investment. I received a holistic treatment plan some years ago which I still use today. (I had exposure to a blast while in the Service which compounded previous head injuries). Their scans were illuminating (especially the second scan a year later showing improvement), and their treatment recommendation work well for me to this day.
Amy Coxon
We love Dr. Carter, but I have called a couple times about various medication issues and cannot get timely responses. The newest happened today. My daughter is on a med that is making her dizzy and this morning kept her from school. I called at 8 am, again at 2 pm, and again at 4:45 and still have no response and it is a Friday. This happened another time as well. Terrible customer service!
Forrest Fisher
Great clinic with a well trained staff!
David Dunkel
Fantastic Place. Cutting Edge. Dr. Amen is a wealth of knowledge.
Kimberley L Berlin, LCSW
Easy, painless, and quick! What more could you ask for such a high level of service?
Donna Creasy
I always enjoy hearing Dr. Amen speak and wish I had his mother's "perfect brain." I went home from the event and ordered his latest book, and am looking forward to the new one about ending mental illness. I'm a neurofeedback practitioner and licensed therapist and would like to hear him talk supportively about neurofeedback more often to expand public awareness -- and possibly move health care toward insurance coverage for various forms of neurotherapy.
James Miazga
Great service. Stephanie is very polite and professional and she is a great asset to Amen Clinics. The staff and physicians are friendly and easy to talk to. I was there for an educational meeting and I could not have been more pleased.
Linda Hutchings
Great customer service, resources, testimonials... Can't wait to see what all this will do for me and my PTSD
William Amoroso
I believe the Doc gave me a fair and reasoned assessment according to info and testing at hand,, as well as some sound advice. Thanks!
Jason Kim
Someone I know closely used to be a patient here, but had to switch bc the doctor retired. They managed patients professionally and service was great. Everything was instant not much delay at all. THE ONLY DOWNSIDE-COST... but couldn't complain much due to the great service! Great diagnosis and treatment and more... It was 200-400 USD per 30 min-1hr appt, no insurance was in network. If you can afford, want the best care, this is the place you must visit!
Carrie Shuffitt
Absolutely wonderful.
judy trenta
Every person with whom I have interacted has been professional and most pleasant which makes for lasting positive first impressions. The structure and organization of each appointment, in home testing, purchasing of supplements and reading materials are well planned and the follow through is amazing. All telephone questions and issues are resolved immediately. I have just begun my interaction with the Amen Clinic in Reston, VA and already have begun an unbelievable journey filled with hope for my future well-being. I am fortunate to have found them and look forward to the amazing results which I will achieve with their help.
Alice FM
Everyone has been pleasant, professional and caring. (Although, I was annoyed by a tinny sounding radio playing in the administration office one of the days I was in the waiting room, but the next time it was off. And, it’s inescapable theses days, a tv was playing, softly, in the waiting room each time I was there. But, I’m easily annoyed by such things and usually have ear plugs with me...)o I can’t have an opinion about any results/improvements with any of my various medical problems. I’ve only gone through the testing process a few days ago. I haven’t tried any of their recommendations yet. I still have 2 follow up appointments.
Bonnie Wolfe
Caring efficient friendly office. Information and guidance from the spect scan very helpful!
Rod Dausch
My grandson, 11 years old, was evaluated for brain functions and learning deficiencies. The processes, procedures, evaluations, and especially the people- technicians, Doctors and admin personnel could not have been more professional and competent in the work they performed and the results they produced. My grandson enjoyed the experience and already is more positive about his opportunities to improve his life. I am very thankful for the Amen program and the people who dedicate themselves to help others in need. Rod Dausch
Tom Parkhurst
Thorough, kind, helpful, professional. Occasional tech glitches.
Manny and Dottie Klammer
Each time, inclusive of the visit yesterday, I've had appointments at the Amen Clinic at Reston the experiences have been nothing but positive. I went to the Amen Clinic in search of answers about my brain. Before the Amen Clinic, it was enlightening to read articles with generalities that could be applied to my situation. And it was nice to get answers from professionals "based on their preceptions" too. Even though they were on the right track it wasn't until I was tested at the Amen Clinic that I felt everything wasn't based on guess work to some degree. There was something in the value of seeing things in black and white, so to speak and finding out even more. They are not just treating me solely by looking at test results of my brain. They took an in depth history and considered my total health and habits in their evaluation. It has been and experience of enlightenment and reassurance that is resulting in helping me get to a better place. I am so very thankful
Sohee Engles
We were very pleased with the clinic, the staff, Dr. Annibali and the whole process.
Jessica Baldwin
I met with Dr. Jorandby at the Reston, Virginia location. The level of customer care and physician care was excellent. I appreciate their attentiveness and concern for their patients.
Dirk Thomas
Very responsive, very cordial, very knowledgeable.
Tatiana Argeiro
Great service and their whole evaluation process has made a big difference in our family's life!
Lori R
My visit to the Amen Clinic was a goal that I know I needed to do years ago. I have watch Dr. Amen for years just about the same time that I was diagnosed with Limbic ADD at age 63. The staff at the clinic was exceptional. The Doctor I met with was so attentive and easy to talk to. I have been suffering Complex PTSD for the past 7 years. Plus have had a small stroke from stress. I am now 72. The only regret is that I did not ask more questions plus I did not thoroughly understand my diagnosis. My attention was very comprimized . I am looking forward to more interaction with the staff to more thoroughly understand my diagnosis.
Bryan Kelly
Amen clinics was very professional staff was great clinic was nice and I believe I will recover in time I believe they can help others thanks
Lucky Hopkins
EVERYONE at this location, without exception, deserves a 5-star rating. They are courteous, patient, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. For what may be a stressful situation to those coming here for help, this environment allows someone to calm themselves and to realize they have made the right choice. If you've found no answers using conventional medicine and physicians, try giving these folks a chance. They are cutting-edge, outside-the-box thinkers who don't just do what the average doctor does because some drug rep says to. Their goal is to CURE you, not just treat you. Doesn't that sound like what you've been hoping for all along?
Donna Brooks
Everyone was so knowledgeable and friendly. We FINALLY got the answers we needed to start helping my daughter. We did Occupational Therapy and Vision Therapy, but now we know the reason behind her difficulties. THANK YOU for all the answers you provided. We have a plan and are anxious to see the change. We have been on the supplements for four days and she is happier and calmer than she has been in many years. Also, she commented on how much easier school is because she is able to focus.
roseann McDonald
Everyone at the clinic was nice and professional!
Catalina Shorkey
I had a unique and memorable experiences at the Amen Clinic in The DC area. Dr. K. was able to answer all of questions and she offered solutions that did not involved medication but in instead gave me a more holistic approach. I look forward to working with Dr. K. Also, I think that it is worth mentioning that I experienced a great level of professionalism at the clinic from every staff member.
Dan Crowley
I have worked with many doctors over the years from many different specialties. Dr. Kalyanapu has got to be one of the best. I have found her to truly be a medical detective with very good instincts to try and uncover root causes. Her gentle way with both children and adults makes appointments with her something you look forward to on your calendar. However none of that means much if you do not see results. It takes time and hard work as a patient, but the results come. Thanks Dr K for all you do.
Devin Langguth
Comprehensive evaluation in a caring atmosphere!
Derek Sauter
I would highly recommend Amen clinics for anybody who is having psychological problems that are effecting their life. Amen Clinics provides a comprehensive look at your brain and the resulting problems, while providing an intricate plan for getting your health and life back on track. It won't be a simple and quick fix, but rather a lifestyle change that will truly make a difference, alongside needed medication. Their overall goal is to treat your condition holistically, while getting you off of medication, which is refreshing for anybody who goes to regular psychiatrists. Additionally, the staff is exceptionally friendly and will go above and beyond to help you along the entire process. From the receptionists, especially Lauren, to the doctors you will be pleasantly surprised at their kindness and helpfulness. As someone who has struggled greatly with OCD and an overactive brain, I highly recommend Amen Clinics!
Amy Elkin
Incredibly helpful and positive experience so far. The SPECT scan is an amazing tool and while we still have a long road ahead of us, we feel like we're more prepared than ever before. Dr. Jorandby is terrific.
Brent Horner
Great place, perfect for what i needed to turn my life around and fix my brain.
karen durbin
Very professional, informative, and caring staff that made us feel welcomed since we first arrived. Highly recommend.
Mo
doctor was caring, compassionate and medically insightful and i feel she is prescribing effective treatment with current results. They also do coaching calls to follow up with patient after appointment as part of treatment procedure... mine was scheduled for about two weeks ago. no call/voicemail received by myself as of yet.
Ross Lugasi
Everything from the intake to the actual scans was seamless and stress free. The office is very relaxed with incredibly friendly staff. The Doctors have some of the best patient care I have ever experienced in the Mental Health field. You will not regret going if you have the means, especially considering this is one of the only psychiatric clinics that looks at the organ they are diagnosing. Thank you for everything you guys have done for me.
Varda Burstyn
I am writing after 3 weeks, assessment visit and follow-up for my adult brother, who went with an undiagnosed brain injury for years, massive breakdown 2.5 years ago, became totally disabled and was suffering dreadfully, and 9 (count them - 9) psychiatrists missed it all. Amen/Reston nailed the diagnosis and associated problems (hormone, and nutrient deficiencies, horrible qEEG results) in one visit, and at this time, though we have only begun two out of six major treatment components, my brother is already so much better. Compassion, humour, understanding and so smart and competent - a godsend. We'll see in a year - it will take time to repair the damage - but my whole family has been uplifted after just three weeks. Thank you, Amen, Dr. Annibali, Isma, Breanna and Lauren.
Rita Carroll
Dr. Kalyanapu is one of the best we have ever seen. My son (TBI) has been to six pervious - we have been seeing her for over 2 years and we think she is amazing. Caring, gentle and brilliant
Rose Landerer McCabe
It's your command center, your brain! You the rare opportunity to learn how to take care of your brain taught by the best, brightest, Dr.Daniel Amen & of course Tanya👏🌹
Michalyn Gret
I would recommend the Amen clinics to anyone who has ever been diagnosed with a brain disorder!! The care is superior and cutting edge. It is worth every dollar!! I only wish I would have done this sooner. Dr. Stuller was awesome in explaining the SPECT scans and really went the extra mile for me. Thank you Dr. Amen for creating these clinics and having the courage to step out of the box with psychiatry. You have changed my life! Michalyn G., Spanish teacher
Orlando Vargas
I highly recommend the Amen clinics in Reston, VA. I specifically love working with Dr. Stuller and Dr. Annibali.
