This experience has been Life changing for me 🙏🏼😭. I was so scared because I have been struggling with a lot of anxiety and panic and was particularly feeling overwhelmed not knowing what they’d find or if they could help me. I was also very nervous about the testing and laying still for the scan but everyone made me feel so comfortable and safe! I Got the opportunity to share my story with Dr. Julie Brush NP in an interview while she shared with me my scan results which were not only extremely validating…. But I have never left an appointment regarding my mental health feeling empowered and hope filled like I did after my scan, results, and plan of action I got with the Amen clinics. They will dive deep! So be sure to collect and provide all the details and info you can provide them …. This isn’t a Magic Cure but it is the Only mental health facility I’ve found that is trying to use their tools and resources to help you get the clearest picture possible for what is going on in your brain at the time of scans and then going after a treatment plan that addresses more than just prescribing something and “seeing what happens”. They give you a full picture of what they’re seeing and care deeply about giving the most effective plan of action to true healing🙏🏼

Dr. Darmal is wonderful and knows what he is talking about. I have been to many psychiatrists and neurologists looking for help. He was able to identify my brain trauma and my focal seizures. I felt so validated during my visits, and he gave me an action plan for help. I really appreciate his time and knowledge. I have finally found the right care with him.

My experience with Amen clinic was very positive. Staff is very friendly and helpful. This was great because my wife was already stressing and anxious about her situation. We came here to get a solid answer about her condition. The brain scans help us do that. Dr. Karimpour and her staff have really come through. Mental health problems are life changing and if spending a little more money can resolve them then for us it was worth it. An endless medication rotation (insurance funded) only created more problems.

I’ve had such a great experience with Amen Clinics so far! Everyone at the front desk, especially Luis, Mackenzie, and Stephanie, has been so friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed my evaluation and the whole process has been great. The scan technician was also amazing and had such a great bedside manner. He was really patient with me and helped ease my anxiety around needles, which I really appreciated. I have a family friend and her two children go through an evaluation here back in 2012 and they shared that they all had some really great improvements, so that gave me even more confidence in coming here. I’m really looking forward to continuing this journey and investing in my brain health. So far, I truly feel like it’s been one of the best investments I’ve made in myself!

Several family members have been evaluated at the Amen Clinic and every time the staff have been knowledgeable and helpful. The supplements and medication recommendations have been personally tailored to the situation and needs of the patient. We particularly appreciate seeing what the brain scans tell us. Nobody else does this work. Worth every penny.

I have been so pleased with my experience with the Amen Clinics. I have been working with them since April and have only had positive experiences with the staff and doctors. The communication with patients is top notch and I feel that I have gotten a lot of services for the price I paid. I also feel that they have helped me with brain health prevention measures, sleep improvement, immune system improvements and overall health improvement. I would and have recommended them to several other people and will continue to do so.

I have been absolutely impressed with this. Clinic hands-down changed my life. I was so grateful to actually see what’s going on within my brain rather than just throwing a bunch of things at it a bunch of labels I’ve had a bunch of labels thrown at me and it was really exciting to see that. None of them actually wore the case once I got my brain scan back. It felt so supportive. I went to the Arizona clinic the team there was absolutely phenomenal and right now I’m working with virtual California Clinic with Cierra, and Dr. Karimpour !! They both are absolutely amazing. I’m so grateful for this team. It feels like I have a whole network of support constantly with me. They also have access to an online portal that you can be part of a community and sign up for Classes on there and each person is given an assistant to help them through the process with calls to check in as a case manager, and then I’ve met with the psychiatrist multiple times to check in on my program in my plan it feels like you don’t have to do this journey alone and I’m so grateful
We brought my 8yo grandnephew here 1/26 for info re his PCP/school 'Psycologist' label of ****. He had ************** during birth, leaving him with a TBI from lack of oxygen. Having always had the energy of 2-3 people, yet still being able to solve/overcome many of his issues on his own, he was put on the 'go-to' ADHD med(s), which didn't slow him down at all! After a truly saddening 1st day at the clinic, he went into flight-or-flight mode and wouldn't let the nurse inject the IV contrast for the scan. He's had many CT/MRI scans and was afraid of the possible noise, though there isn't any at all for a SPECT. The first day timed out for the process, and we tried for the second day, which was much more successful! We missed the first Virtual meeting w/ the Clinic by being on Amtrack going home, no WiFi, but was able to get it rescheduled for another date while we were still on the train. The entire process went as planned while there at the Clinic, excepting the first days' scan, and with the virtual meeting at home with Dr. ***** she was able to show us the *** in ADHD and we saw with our own eyes how his brain was way overactive, just as Dr. **** described in his book, THE 7 TYPES of ADHD, in the Ring of Fire... type 6 of ADHD, and how he'd actually been fighting AGAINST the ****** which are stimulants, and were making him WORSE!! You can't problem-solve and troubleshoot when you aren't sure of what's there, and can't SEE! Yes, there's a cost involved, that's to be expected for such a deeply technical procedure/outcome and number of professionals involved! We were NOT charged for the time, inconvenience, and SPECT timeslot wasted the first day...we could've been, though! The cost does have to be contended with, between your means and desired outcome for the rest of your life...it's a decision no one else can make for you. I for one, can only say that we NOW know extactly what that poor kid has been contending with! The right diet/supplements, healing begins!
Incredibly supportive environment, great mental health experience
In this job you learn so much, but not in an overwhelming way. Everything is broken down into small steps and what you end up learning here is valuable and often fascinating. The management team is so nice and supportive. I have never once felt like I can't ask a question or give/receive genuine feedback. Co-workers are also all kind and always helpful. It really feels like a team here. If you don't like sitting at a desk for most of the day, this job is not for you, and taking calls back to back can get a bit repetitive. You will hear many real-life stories from around the world, so you will learn a lot of applicable information. Many calls can be emotionally charged as well, so it takes an empathetic and patient person. This job also requires good listening and good multitasking skills. This job includes monthly potlucks/catered food, the possibility for monthly bonuses, and the management team is always creating new activities to keep things light and fun. Biggest takeaway for me is the opportunity for professional growth and mental health experience.
Awesome Workplace with Purposeful Job!
Working at the Amen Clinics has been a great experience. Between the awesome coworkers, exceptionally kind management, and fun other benefits like monthly catered lunches and potlucks, working here for the past year has been a joy. The job itself can be a bit repetitive, and sometimes emotionally tolling, but the positive and fun work environment helps lighten things up when needed.
***** was the accepting patient at the front desk. I brought my 10-year-old son for treatment. She was graceful and thorough in making sure our appointment went smoothly. She was able to explain the procedure and what to expect. It was my first time, and everything went well, all on time.
I have worked with ************ since 2010 beginning with the brain scan for my 22 year old daughter. Since then I have referred many of my own clients to him, and now my daughter's daughter. I've always received information that has helped the individuals. His work is brilliant and the results have been life changing. Knowing what causes certain behavior issues helps to keep the individuals off medications, and understanding reactions to life-stimuli allows all of us to know how to live without the stress from confusion and frustration. His books have also been helpful.I would not know how to help these individuals without these scans, books, and expert guidance from ************ and/or his associates. Especially for my family. ***** for his research, work, and kindness to those who struggle.
I have been with the *********** for 2 years. It took so much for me to reach out to them but I'm so thankful I did and, I had the resources to do so. I truly wish everyone could experience this type of care. There would be a lot less devastation, grief and suffering and a lot more understanding, care and hope.From the start Dr.****** has made me feel incredibly safe, listened to, and so cared for. His compassion and empathy is something Ive never felt by any other person in my life. Im not sure I ever will.Because of him, his wonderful Care Coordinator - *******, their combined care, appointments, follow-**** emails/reminders, Im now feeling better than I have in so many years.******* is truly precious and she deserves to be celebrated along with Dr. ******* They pay such great attention to detail and their thoroughness in needs. From the first appointment, to the scan, to the follow-up/plans, check-*** and everything in-between.Dr. Chakra is such a supportive doctor, he has such a beautiful heart. Ive never been happier with a doctor. Ive never experienced such emotional care and support in my life.Literally from anyone.AMEN CLINIC - is so important to me.
Rewarding job
I honestly felt that I learned a lot from working in this company. It’s rewarding to see patients come in to the clinic and hearing about how life changing their journey has been.
comfortable and positive work space
I have been working for Amen Clinics for 7 months now, I can easily say that I've had a really positive experience here so far. Its been easy and enjoyable to represent a company when you agree with their approach and methods. Its a science based, natural and holistic clinic with a brilliant team of doctors and staff. The job requires you to talk to a series of potential patients from various backgrounds. You listen to their experiences and guide them to the best services that will help improve their situation. The management team in my department really cares about their employees and makes a constant effort to show their appreciation. The hours are great, time off request is fair, OT options available and pay is reasonable. The more work you put in, the better the out come for pay as well. I love my team and the staff remains professional. Overall I would say this is a comfortable and positive work space.
The staff and faculty at Amen Clinic have been excellentWe cannot thank the staff and faculty at Amen Clinic enough for their exceptional assistance in our healing journey. The clear-cut answers and well-defined next steps provided have been an immense relief for our family. Their thorough assessments and professional recommendations have instilled in us a sense of trust and confidence. We highly recommend Amen Clinic to anyone seeking reliable and effective healthcare services. to assist in healing! Our family is extremely pleased to have the answers and next steps!All recommendations and assessments have been thorough and professional.
I had the most wonderful experience at amen! I felt very heard and understood when communicating about my struggle with medication and finding the right fit. I felt like I had been doing trial and error with other doctors for years who just kept prescribing medicine and told me I would probably need them for the rest of my life. I expressed to ************** that I didn't want to be dependent on a medication and I would like to understand what was going on and how I could best fix it. He was totally on board and explained in great detail what he noticed in my SPECT scans and what he thought could work for me. The then talked to me about my medication options and we picked one together. After a couple months, I realized the immense change in my quality of life for the better. He also created a plan to get me off of them once I find other solutions via different therapies or lifestyle changes. I couldn't be more grateful for my experience with the Amen clinic.
I am extremely grateful for finding the Amen Clinic, my experience has been nothing but positive. The team assigned to me was thorough, and comprehensive and showed genuine interest in me. I showed up at the Amen Clinic combating a severe case of anxiety and was reluctant to go on any medications. My SPECT Scan revealed some underlying issues that were detailed out in the final report. My scheduled phone calls and Zoom Calls all went off as scheduled. I Was evaluated and counseled along with the necessary recommendations to best treat my condition. I wrote out each and every recommendation and went to work, change in nutrition, sleep habits, exercise, nutritional supplements, removing copious amounts of coffee and sugar and grains from my diet, lost weight, I simply decided to take take 100% responsability for my mental and emotional health and the outcome has been nothing more than complete satisfaction. ********************** supplied me the necessary tools, but I understood that I needed to take control of my underlying external environmental conditions that was creating my anxiety. My final report sits on my desk I value it as a prescription, and I will review it from time to time to ensure I am dialed in. Do I have periods that I am challenged with bouts of anxiety, yes indeed, but ********************* had presented me with the proper tools in my tool box for me to live life now on my terms, no longer do I find myself with the inability to function through my day. Gratitude.
My father first came to Amen Clinics as a result of a TBI as a result of a terrible car accident. ***************** and the team at the ******* Clinic have been exceptional! As a result of this evaluation, my father was able to address other underlying issues and concerns he had been dealing with for a while. Whenever we had questions about medications/supplements the team was always pleasantly available and quick to respond. Needless to say, we have received excellent service and are extremely grateful!!!!

Dr. Amina is amazing! Scanned my brain and figured out exactly what is going on with me. I’ve been seeing Dr. Amina for about a year now and I’ve never been better. He knew exactly how to treat me. I’ve never been more stable in my life. Thank you!

Dr Karinampour is best psychiatrist I have had since 1998.

Dr Darmal was very helpful in my recovery. I feel like I have a new life and highly recommend Dr. Darmal as a knowledgeable and caring professional. I wouldn't hesitate to refer anyone to him who could benefit from his expertise. All of the staff at the Amen clinic have been friendly and helpful.
DrB Mel
I am a psychologist so to have to put my son's care into the hands of another doctor, was at best, difficult. Dr. Darmal was nothing but kind, professional and extremely helpful and caring. His wisdom and knowledge, thanks to excellent schooling and continued training, is impeccable. I highly recommend the Amen Clinic, specifically, Dr. Darmal. You will discover answers you have long been searching for. A+! --Dr. B
