    Dr. Sara Herman changed my life. I have been struggling with severe anxiety for decades and am now…read morein middle age. I had given up hope and resigned myself to living in a constant state of tension and distress which negatively affected my family as well. I was hesitant to try this type of treatment but decided to take a chance given Dr. Herman's excellent reputation. I was impressed by the entire patient experience. Everything from the immaculate office, to the warm and comforting treatment rooms, to the integration workbook are very well thought-out. The IV ketamine treatments are done on comfortable loungers with effective eyeshades and curated music. I hardly ever saw anyone else in the office during my visits, and when I did, it all still felt very private and discreet. After receiving the Stellate Ganglion Block and 6 IV ketamine treatments, I am finally feeling a relief and calm that I didn't think I would ever experience again. The thing that sets Dr. Herman apart is that she truly wants you to get to a healthy state that lasts. I decided to do the Stellate Ganglion Block first, since it is the "hard reset" to calm an overactive nervous system. Dr. Herman performed the procedure flawlessly and explained things every step of the way. I felt deep relief and relaxation after the procedure which lasted for many months. It was incredible. At no point did Dr. Herman push for any further treatments, she let me decide based on how I felt. In fact, she said that I should first work up other health issues, to make sure that I was starting from an optimal state of physical health before additional treatments. It turns out that she was right, and I discovered some breathing issues that were likely impacting my sleep and, in turn, impacting my mental state. My anxiety was much improved but still present, so I decided to try the ketamine. I opted for the recommended 6 week protocol since I wanted to maximize the benefit and not just get partial improvement. I'm glad I did, because after this 6th treatment, I have had a breakthrough. I responded to a recurring stressful situation at home from a place of calm and equanimity instead of the usual reactivity. It was a major shift in my approach to a difficult life stressor and has noticeably improved the dynamic in my household. I am now on a good path to a better life, something I never would have thought possible. Dr. Herman is the ideal practitioner for this work because she combines excellent technical skills with a deep understanding of psychological healing. Her assistant Shade is also a warm and welcoming presence and provides additional much needed support. I feel very grateful to live in a place and time where a professional like Dr. Herman can provide this life-changing service for those in distress. She has the skills and the best intentions to relieve suffering and improve lives. I feel like I have been rescued from drowning. If you are suffering in silence, Dr. Herman can help you. Her work is benefitting not just me, but my family and friends, and others I come across. I am deeply grateful.

I have tried many treatments for my general anxiety and gone to many different in person therapists. I finally decided to give Soft Reboot Wellness a try and I am so grateful that I did. Dr Sara Herman made me feel immediately comfortable at her practice and answered any questions that I had. I have been going to her office in Menlo Park for ketamine therapy and recently had a Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) for my anxiety. I had been looking all over the bay area for an integrative medicine practice like this one. Every session for my ketamine therapy was unique and included a post treatment call with her incredible assistant, Shade. From the moment you walk into the center, you feel at ease. I knew exactly what would happen and when which helped me feel comfortable. The first ketamine therapy relieved my ongoing anxiety symptoms for 3 months after my treatment before I returned for another. The deeply personal work done in treatment was supported by Dr Herman's warmth and understanding. I felt so seen and validated by what came up for me during treatment. After about a year, I told Dr Sara Herman that I was still having some panic attacks and anxiety around day to day tasks. That is when she suggested a Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB). She explained what the procedure entailed and Shade gave me a call a week prior to go over what was expected before/after. Once I left Soft Reboot Wellness with my SGB, I felt a huge sense of relief wash over me. I hadn't realized how much my anxiety impacted my every day and every thought. Over the next week, I encountered so many situations that would've triggered a panic attack, but I was able to navigate past them smoothly. I even started to have deeper sleep and felt it easier to work through my daily emotions. I am forever indebted to Soft Reboot Wellness for truly changing the way I move through the world. I am so grateful to have found something that works so well for my mind, body, and soul.

    I recently had to pay a visit to the Emergency Department at El Camino. I have been to this ER many…read moretimes as well as being a patient in the main hospital for surgeries and the recovery that follows. I have always experienced excellent care here. I have an auto immune disease that sometimes causes my inflammatory markers to skyrocket and this will cause me so much pain, beyond what I can control at home. That's exactly what happened last week. I knew I was in trouble and needed to get to the ER fast. My husband got us there quickly and I checked in. I was taken to the triage area for my vitals. Luckily I'm in their system. And most of my Doctors are connected with El Camino because they are a part of Sutter Health. So the hospital knows my health history. The waiting area was packed with sick people. I'm thinking, this is going to be a long and painful wait. I was called back to see the Dr. within a few minutes, which was surprisingly quick. They got me a wheelchair and took me back. All of my joints were hurting so bad that it hurt to walk. I explained everything to Dr. Tsai. I appreciated that he listened to me and took the time to ask important questions. I told him I was supposed to get labs done tomorrow for my metabolic panel because I wasn't feeling well and I told him that the way I was feeling probably meant my inflammatory markers, ESR and C-reactive protein were probably very high. He told me he would order all those tests immediately and start me off with pain pills first and then progress to stronger IV meds if the pills didn't work. I also mentioned to him that the new medication that I have been taking for this problem has not been working very well and my rheumatologist was trying to get prior authorization to increase the dose of that new medication. That's why my pain had gotten out of hand. I was sent back to the waiting area, again, to wait to get my labs done. I was again called back within a few minutes. I was taken back for the bloodwork. Then taken to a private patient room, where I could lay down in a bed and get my IV started. I met the nurses that would be taking care of me. I let them know that it's hard finding my veins. I appreciated that the nurse believed me and got a vein finder to help with finding a vein. She was able to find one that was deeper, in my arm, but it was a good vein. She got the IV started. Her patience with getting my IV started was awesome. A lot of times nurses don't believe me when I tell them I'm a hard stick. She was wonderful and did an amazing job with my IV. Since the pills didn't work for my pain, we moved on to stronger IV pain medication. I was also felling nauseated from the pain. They didn't hesitate to give me nausea medication, right away. As it turned out, my inflammatory markers were extraordinarily high. They gave me the best pain management over the next several hours and didn't discharge me until my pain was under control and I was more relaxed and calm. Pain like that is horrible. I want to give a huge thank you to Dr. Tsai and nurses for listening to me and my pain concerns and doing everything they could to stabilize me. I have followed up with my doctors and am on a new medication regimen to help with the inflammation. I am finally feeling better. The medical team here, treated me with respect and dignity. Everyone was very professional and kind. I am grateful to the medical team that took care of me that day. Thank you to Dr. Tsai and the nurses that all worked collaboratively, to get me feeling better.

I'm one of those people who tries to avoid going to the emergency room unless I think I'm about to die. And that was indeed the situation. I showed up at about 6 AM and I was one of two people there. So I was able to get processed and brought in very quickly. I was very impressed by the security people in the triage process as well as how they nurses, doctor, and techs took care of me. When I left a few hours later, the emergency room was packed and very chaotic. One doesn't get to choose what time an emergency happens but in my case, I'm glad that it was at a time when things weren't very busy.

I couldn't stand long enough to cook a meal. Dr. Gussous looked at my MRI and CT scans and projected great confidence that a surgery would help me and I just decided to put myself in his hands. Best decision ever. Three months out and I can walk indefinitely with no discomfort. Just after the surgery, when I was recovering in the hospital, I was having some issues with my blood pressure dropping precipitously whenever I stood up. Dr. Gussous came personally to my bedside and spent about 40 minutes observing what was happening, having me stand and sit, having me walk a short distance in the hallway until he was satisfied that he understood what was going on. An amazing level of personal attention. Even the nurses were surprised. He also arranged for a week in acute rehab where I got a ton of support and instruction to see me through the rest of the recovery at home. I have done a lot of research about this procedure, including lurking around on Facebook groups where people share information about their experiences with this type of surgery. So I know that not everyone has as wonderful an outcome as I have had. I can only feel thankful to Dr. Gussous for performing an excellent surgery on me.
