I brought my husband, who has been living with Parkinson's disease for almost 20 years, to see Dr…read more Sandeep Thakkar in Newport Beach. At first, my husband was able to see Dr. Thakkar directly for the first few visits, and we appreciated having the neurologist personally evaluate his condition and treatment. After those initial 2-3 appointments, however, all subsequent visits were scheduled with a physician assistant instead of with Dr. Thakkar, even though my husband's case is long‑standing and complex. I understand that practices often use PAs to help with scheduling and workload, but as a caregiver I expected my husband to be followed primarily by the neurologist we chose. Over time it felt like we no longer truly had access to Dr. Thakkar himself, which was disappointing and concerning given the seriousness and duration of my husband's Parkinson's. Because of this, I eventually decided to stop bringing my husband to this office and moved his care to a different neurologist who sees him personally at each visit. This review reflects our personal experience and expectations; other patients may feel differently, but continuity with the actual neurologist was important enough that we chose to seek care elsewhere.

I would say he is good to see if you have a definitive diagnosis but not if you are searching for a diagnosis. My long drive to Newport Beach was a waste of my time and further discomfort.

That moment started a long and painful 3 1/2-year journey filled with countless doctor visits, over seven orthopedic surgeons and several pain management specialists & yet no one truly believed or understood the pain I was in. Everything changed when I met Dr. Iqbal. He was the first doctor who really listened and took my pain seriously. After working with me and understanding what I was going through, he referred me to Dr. Binder for surgery and that referral changed my entire life. Dr. Binder performed a microdiscectomy on my lower back, and within months, I went from being in constant, debilitating pain every single day to being completely healed. His precision, skill, and confidence gave me hope, and his kindness and bedside manner made me feel safe and understood. I am eternally grateful to both Dr. Iqbal and Dr. Binder, two truly exceptional doctors who not only treated my condition, but helped me reclaim my life after years of pain. If you're struggling and starting to lose hope, please know that the right doctors do exist and for me, that was Dr. Iqbal and Dr. Binder.

I felt numb, heavy, disconnected, like I was barely existing. I've been to several brain clinics in before, and most of them felt cold, clinical, and outdated. Their equipment was old, their spaces sterile, and nothing ever really worked. Jessica and her team, on the other hand, are in a league of their own. They use the most advanced neurofeedback technology on the market, I've done my research, looked into the pricing and specs of the equipment, and they are truly the leaders in this field. I flew to Orange County and completed 21 sessions in just 3 days. Today, for the first time in so long, I was able to sit down, open my laptop, and power through my day with clarity and ease. I reached out to clients, multitasked effortlessly, solved problems, and felt present. It's 5pm and my head doesn't hurt. I still have energy. Before, I would've felt drained, foggy, and unable to do anything. Today I feel alive and ready to enjoy my evening. And it's not just the treatment, it's the entire environment Jessica has created. Her office doesn't feel like a sterile doctor's office. It's cozy, calming, and thoughtfully designed with soft couches, warm blankets, and perfectly dimmed lighting. It's the kind of space where you can truly relax, focus, and heal. This is just the beginning of my journey, and I'll continue to update my review as I go. But already, I feel more like myself than I have in a very long time. I'm so grateful for this team and what they've given me, hope, clarity, and a real chance to thrive.

When I found the Brain Care Clinic, I was experiencing the happiest and most peaceful time daily…read morethat I've ever experienced in my entire life! Problem was, I couldn't fully enjoy it. I just knew the peace I had and the joy that was in it, but my mind was never fully present. It was like I was a floating spectator on the side, viewing this actual bliss with a slight smile on my face. I was emotionally invested and fully aware but truly detached. Like when you see something that truly warms your heart in a movie but you're not in the movie. The problems were these; I suffered from clinically diagnosed PTSD stemming from a previous trauma-filled abusive relationship, I had frequent random morbid images and thoughts that would pop in my head, extreme over-thinking, I could not get a full good night's sleep nor fall asleep in a healthy amount of time and I suffered from chronic migraines. In addition, I have Epstein-Barr (an autoimmune disease) and Hypothyroidism. All this issues together could make even the most perfect life stressful and sad. I was guilt ridden with the fact that I was so detached in the face of such a blessed life. Enter the Brain Care Clinic! I'll spare the absolutely divine and non-coincidental way Jessica came to me at the most perfect time!!!! I was a few months away from being married, I was desperate to get rid of these intruding and awful morbid thoughts that would come up and not carry all these issues into my new life. I tried so much personal care work on my own, which helped in this process but wasn't making any change overall. I started my sessions and by session 3 I was sleeping through the night!!! No doubt helping my over all health. After my session 4 appointment I realized I was driving a long distance, right next to the center divider with absolutely no anxiety. Something I didn't go to the clinic for was help with my anxiety during driving because it was so beside the point compared to the extreme over-thinking and morbid thoughts I carried, but there I was, driving at a normal speed, right next to the cement center dividers that would've typically sent me into a freezing panic attack. You can understand how incredibly dangerous that might be. I was elated!!!!! I just couldn't believe myself and I just knew that this was working! Something I didn't even go to the clinic for was being addressed!!! I felt such happiness and confidence and it's been such a great journey ever since! Jessica and her team are so great at checking in with your progress, remapping the brain if needed and making adjustments according to what they see and feedback you give them. Jessica and Paula actually care about how you are feeling emotionally and every other way in your life. You will feel the undeniable love they have for what they do in helping others. I am now at what I like to call, "the sweet spot!" I am 3 months into my sessions and realize that every single issue I listed previously is GONE. Throughout these 3 months I would have wonderful progress, then something would trigger or change my activity and I would need to keep training to get to a place of progress again, it's literally like working out in the gym on your body. The sessions themselves have been amazing! I leave them feeling so calm and hopeful. I realized time after time that after my sessions I was driving home in silence. The radio and the loud aggressive commercials were not where my vibe was at so I made a playlist for after my sessions that I listen to. I call the playlist, "Calm Music to Smile By." So here I am now, living a life in harmony, one I would describe as truly joyous and healthy and even more than that, it's a life I am truly present in. My mind is nowhere else but in the present, not off obsessing or having awful, negative thoughts! My migraines are very few and far between and when I do get them, they are so mild, and I can't tell you the kind of freedom that provides. That in it of itself is such an amazing gift! My PTSD is truly non-existent, and I never thought for a minute that that was possible. I'm now married and can truly appreciate and feel the happiness that comes along with that and I owe it to these wonderful women and their amazing Brain Care Clinic!!

If I did have to wait, I would understand or reschedule. I see from other reviews that people are mixed on her demeanor and use of testing. I personally like that she is direct and to the point, gives clear recommendations and will run the tests you want to rule out things you are worried about (genetic predisposition to certain diseases, symptoms, etc). Given that she is easy to get into see and takes insurance which is rare in this day and age for good doctor, I am thrilled I found her and tell people about her. Doctors are business people too. In this country, f they cannot run their business, they will be out of business and not be able to help people. So yes, the good ones have developed relationships with other practitioners over time. For me this was INVALUABLE when I had a crisis that seemed like frozen shoulder and though I see her as my neurologist, she replied to my email immediately when I reached out for a referral so I could see an ortho and not have to wait 6 weeks in pain. She got me in for an MRI that very day, got me meds that I needed and I was out of pain in four hours with something I could've been dealing with for six months to a year. I ended up resolving the shoulder with my acupuncturist-chiro within days and following up with an ortho thru my insurance in a week. Her contact at the imaging center was kind enough to take my MRI cd to the ortho I had found on my own because I was working and could not run to get it in time!!!! That is the power of knowing other professionals! I was on the meds for just three days and she only wrote the prescription for a 7 day supply. I know she doesn't want people to be on meds but will Rx when needed. I was astounded in how helpful she was when I emailed her. She replies to emails within 5 to 15 mins. And if she did not, I would be okay with that. I had to go on blood pressure medication (only after she had me track it for 2 weeks) because of what turned out to be that I was having small Lacunar strokes (visible on my MRI) while I slept due to sleep apnea un-diagnosed and when I changed my job and my blood pressure went down we kept reducing medication and I don't need it anymore. She does not want her patients to be on meds. She's happy I am not on any; she said so herself when I saw her the other day. She did do extensive blood work so we could rule anything bad. For me I was fortunate that most of her visits and testing was covered by insurance. If a person did not have good insurance I could see being leery of her. She is direct and to the point. If you are getting scary test results and she is super direct, it could be disconcerting. She really cares for her patients but she is clearly not everyone's cup of tea and that is okay!
