Dr. Rustin Berlow, MD

I have had anxiety for over 40 years and after two treatments with the doctor my anxiety is almost gone

Dr berlow was most helpfull doctor I've ever seen and I've been through countless really gets in depth and gets to know you personally

I don't think I would be here if it weren't for Dr Berlow. I was very suicidal and felt hopeless. He quickly diagnosed me and was able to get me on the right medication with minimal trial and error. He is a genius with psychomedication and very caring. I got better quickly. He has been monitoring my medication for years and I always feel listened to by him; if need be he makes changes. I also had TMS which was very helpful. My quality of life is better now than I could have imagined. I have referred family members who have also had great success with Dr Berlow.

Dr. Berlow is a dedicated, extremely intelligent and compassionate professional. He tailors treatment to each patient's needs following a through assessment. After years of intense suffering and consultation with numerous therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists, Dr. Berlow saved my adult son within a month of his first visit. Saved is not too strong a word to describe what he accomplished. I have also benefited from his excellent diagnostic skills and creative treatments. Dr. Berlow is a gift to those who see him and gifted in his ability and desire to help heal his patients.

Thank you, Dr. Berlow...you have given us back our daughter. I do not usually write reviews but the positive changes in my daughter's mood began occurring after her second treatment. She said, "Mom, I feel happy for the first time in so long! I can concentrate and think clearly." That night, my daughter took the initiative to complete her homework without me having to badger her to complete it. A first...amazing!!!!

Best care and most accurate plan for young teenager with anxiety. Berlow is smart, able to connect, utilizes nutrition as well, which is key to optimum health and is bleeding edge with magnet therapy developed a century ago in Austria. Sad to see the disparaging reviews simply over people’s fear of something different. Berlow is carrying his work to medical conferences and colleagues all over the world. He has helped hundreds of patients with incurable depression and anxiety. An essential and bleeding edge doctor.

Complemented by a truly top-notch staff, Dr. Berlow is in a class by himself. With an engaging wit, he has given me a new life and a new spirit with his T.M.S. treatments (Transcranial Mind Stimulation). Him ambitions are grand for redefining psychiatry...and I'm with him.

He's the best. He is a genius and hands down best psychiatrist I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot). He changed my life in six weeks. He knows what he is doing. If you have the opportunity to work with him do it. Just have a little faith and follow his advice/directions and it is life altering! THANK YOU DR. BERLOW AND STAFF!

I was referred by my sister-in-law whose cousin attended Berlow’s workshop in New York on brain stimulation and procedural psychiatry. She said there are new treatments. I called and had appointment the same day. Staff was friendly and professional. Diagnosis took an hour but he clearly understands me already better than psychiatrists I have had for years. He cares and I feel safe with him. It has been 12 weeks, I’m feeling good and no more brain fog

Regarding Rustin Barlow: While speaking very intelligently, one should be very careful in taking Dr. Berlow’s opinions de facto. He is a very intelligent man who seems to take a patient’s well being as a primary motivation; however, one should not choose his fast pace in diagnosing a patient without getting a SECOND OPINION by an equivalent physician as soon as possible. Addionally, one should always receive a receipt for cash payments and a detailed invoice with proper “ICD” codes.

Called for my daughter and got an appointment the same day. After only one week things are much much better. Nothing is more important to me. I’m glad we found him.

Dr Berlow has been amazing for my son and myself. His expertise in MTHFR was critical in finding the right solutions and I appreciate his willingness to use creative and alternative solutions to treat physiological causes to mental health issues. When we started, my son was in a dark place. Two years later, he is happy and healthy and working on his future. I am so grateful for Dr Berlow!

If you see Dr. Berlow and are not getting better PLEASE get a second opinion. With Dr B. I did a longer then average course of TMS, I was on a handful of medications, & I was not getting any better. TMS had NO lasting effect on my depression. Yes, Dr.Berlow will return your text messages 24/7. But if you are not getting better what does that matter? His availability is great but it won't relieve your depression. It's overwhelming to look for a new psychiatrist. But it may save your life.

My wife had gone to neurologists and psychiatrists for several decades growing out of closed head trauma, resulting in various problems. Other doctors just added to the pills she was taking, resulting in almost a page of meds. We asked a psychologist for a recommendation, explaining our decades long search. She highly recommended Dr. Berlow, whom she described as extremely bright and intuitive. After discussion, Dr. B reduced the pills by 2/3 and moved others. My wife dramatically improved

When I moved to San Diego from the Midwest I needed to find a doctor here to refill my medications. I looked online, called the number, he answered the phone and offered an appointment the same day. This was good since I was out of medication. the place was easy to find and there was lots of parking nearby. After filling out a few question nnaires, we met and he asked a few questions and gave me refills and an appointment for one month. Waiting room people said good things

Dr. Berlow has been extremely compassionate, conscientious and helpful. His dedication to thorough and accurate diagnosis, and flexible treatment options has produced better results for my daughter than I had dared even hope for. We are so grateful for this man!

I was a long-time patient of Dr Berlow. At first I thought he was going to really help me with my conditions. But the longer I was his patient the more it became apparent that he is self-obsessed and more concerned about himself than his patients. At times he is inappropriate and unprofessional. He will tell you need Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). I think he must make a lot of money on TMS--it is very expensive. None of the medications or the TMS helped me. And he misdiagnosed me.

I have been seeing Dr. Berlow for about three years for depression and anxiety. My results have been phenomenal and far above any expectations I ever had. He was able to stabilize me with careful, precise medication, then ween me off almost all of the medication using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Dr. Berlow and his staff are compassionate professionals. There is no question that Dr. Berlow considers his profession a calling to help people live healthier, happier lives.
