Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Providing hope and relief
Dr Sendi has been treating me for ongoing depression for a number of years. My first infusion with him after he thoroughly explained Ketamine Therapy was the breakthrough I had been looking for several years. I have tried ketamine therapy from others but Dr Sendi is the one I always come back to when trying to make my pain management work with my ongoing battles with depression.When I can't seem make my treatment plan work he is the doctor I go to for answers. His knowledge and compassion carry me through.

My Cure for Depression
I was chronically depressed and found Dr. Sendi online. He walked me through the process and started me on Ketamine right away. After the third session, I began to feel better in every way. I have completed the suggested treatments and my depression is gone. The only side effect for me is that I am a little hyper. I think that is due to my long depression ending so fast. I have never felt this good and happy in my life. I highly recommend it to anyone suffering from Depression, anxiety, PTSD, or substance abuse.

Dr.Sendi's passion for freeing patients from mental health symptoms was evident the moment I met him. He worked seamlessly with my care team. He always demonstrated compassion and competency. He was available for questions and concerns. I experienced significant lift of depressive symptoms and I'm experiencing a new emotional resilience to trauma-related symptoms. My progress has been praised by my psychotherapist and psychiatrist.

Dr. Sendi and his staff are caring, compassionate and knowledgeable. Dr. Sendi provided the most comprehensive explanation of my depression that I have ever received and gave me hope for a better mental health future. I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with him. He shows so much compassion for his patients and a true hands on approach for each patient, making them feel important at every visit. I have never received this level of care from a psychiatrist.
