Amen Clinics

Staff was very friendly. Doctor Sood was thoughtful and explained everything in detail. I was encouraged to continue using the supplements that were already working for me. We worked together to develop a plan for healing and improving my brain. A very positive and encouraging experience.

I learned quite a bit about my brain and conditions that were affecting my chronic fatigue. i like that they took a holistic approach and did not just aim to treat symptoms. They suggested I get a sleep apnea test (which required me to see a doctor outside of their practice). and gave me several supplements. Dr Sood also helped me get off an anti depressant that was contributing to my tiredness. He also prescribed meditation, daily exercise and yoga. It has changed my life. I have lost weight and now exercise everyday. i now have the energy to cook so I am eating healthier food that further supports more energy. It is a process not an overnight fix, but I have made much progress and feel substantially better for it. i tell everyone Dr Sood changed my life!
The only reason i did not give 5 stars is because of cost. It is substantial enough that I almost did not make an appointment.

Pretty much an overpriced, inconvenient waste of money. It involves a 3 day commitment to testing. Once you get over the excitement of seeing your brain in action, you get the feeling you have exited «through the gift shop». You are given a report that you have pretty much constructed with your lengthy intake questionnaires. Peppered in there are suggestions to diet and exercise because studies have shown it makes people’s brains work better. Additionally, you can be prescribed costly Amen Clinic supplements. What I am most surprised about is how things fall apart from there. Despite the heftily priced aftercare phone consults ($ 200 per half hour) and their incessant telemarketer-​style satisfaction survey calls– THEY DROP THE BALL! Emails will be lost, the front desk people neglect to pass along phone messages and you will be forgotten. If you are having a crisis, like you are going to run out of your prescription, you may have to wait until you are panic stricken and down to your last pill before you get a response. It is very scary when the patient they are dealing with IS YOUR CHILD. Save your money and seek assistance elsewhere. Like a gift shop, they get you while you are hyped up and you leave feeling duped.

If you go to the amen clinic with the purpose of getting a brain scan and going over the results with the doctor/​psychiatrist its ok, but take it to another doctor/​psychiatrist for a second opinion. The doctor/​psychiatrist job is to sell medication/​vitamin and keep you there for as long as possible. They don’t except insurance «red flag» also want to push loads and loads of vitamins and medication. Be very careful be aware!

Do not waste your money! Nothing came out of it for my son. I paid about 4100 dollars and for their fee plus accommodation for three nights and sent my son to NY with NO USE. They even did not review the filled forms carefully. At the end they provided us a very nice looking binder with lots of documents all printed in color on nice sheets. I was so happy receiving it, thought it was ALL about my son. I looked at it the night my son arrived till 4 in the morning and noticed that only less than 10 pages were a report on my son’s diagnosis and treatment (if you can name it this way) and the rest were the articles and stuff which are available on-​line for free. The whole procedure which took three days, my son said could be done in less than a work day. They just sold us 240 dollars of dietary supplements which we could buy at Whole Foods or on-​line for less than half of that price. I am so frustrated. None of my phone calls and emails were ever returned. I have to pay my credit loan for all this «nothing» for a whole year. It was a huge waste of time, energy and of course money.
