This past year, I experienced an extremely traumatic family crisis that completely upended my…read moreworld. For months, I struggled with severe anxiety, depression, and debilitating PTSD symptoms. Medication was only helping a little bit, and I didn't want to rely solely on it. I was looking for something that could provide more immediate and lasting relief, which led me to the Brain Wellness Center in San Ramon for TMS treatment. Before beginning treatment, I was in profound distress. I experienced intense visceral emotional reactions and PTSD symptoms that felt overwhelming. My trigger responses were debilitating and sometimes turned violent--I was throwing things, breaking things, and unable to control my rage. The emotional flooding was extreme, often leaving me gasping for air and doubled over in pain. I had strong urges to self-harm and uncontrollable impulses toward physical aggression, which I sometimes acted on. I couldn't engage in any therapeutic work--I couldn't even look at books about my type of trauma without becoming dysregulated. My mind was trapped in constant rumination and obsessive thoughts. The anxiety was so severe that I felt like I was losing myself. After completing 50 sessions of TMS, the transformation has been remarkable. I developed motivation for basic self-care like going to sleep early and taking vitamins--things that felt impossible before. When triggered now, I still feel anger surge through me, but I no longer have the urge to be physically aggressive. I can now engage in therapeutic work, reading books about my trauma and participating in therapy discussions. I still feel discomfort, but it's manageable--not the dysregulating panic I experienced before. I've learned to disengage and down-regulate when triggered. I'm calmer and better able to care for myself instead of drowning in obsessive thoughts. The compulsion toward physical aggression has dramatically decreased. My anxiety is much less intense--I can redirect my attention to self-care, and the upset no longer overwhelms me. Most importantly, I'm no longer on my knees or doubled over in emotional pain. I am able to walk toward healing. The doctors at Brain Wellness Center are truly exceptional. Both Dr. Hashemian and Dr. Palmer are deeply compassionate, excellent listeners, and incredibly knowledgeable--they've been doing this work for decades and are true experts. I felt confident I was in capable hands. What I appreciated most was their honest approach with no sales pressure. They truly want you to make the best choice for you, whether that means working with them or another TMS specialist. They were thorough in their assessments and committed to tracking progress systematically. Week by week, I could literally see the steady decline in my anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms through their comprehensive measurements. The most dramatic improvement was in my anxiety symptoms. I would say that I started feeling really noticeable relief from my symptoms after about 6 sessions. Next to the treatment's effectiveness, I was most impressed with the staff. Mayra, Angelica, Autumn, and Olivia work seamlessly as the techs and coordination team. They are incredibly kind, consistently professional while genuinely warm and caring, and highly skilled. You can tell they're happy in their work environment. They were efficient with scheduling, accommodating with changes, and excellent at follow-through and communication. Appointments always started on time, and the facility was meticulously clean. I felt genuinely taken care of throughout all 50 sessions. TMS at Brain Wellness Center gave me my life back. I went from being unable to function, violent in my reactions, and contemplating self-harm to being able to engage in healing work, regulate my emotions, and move forward with my life. The relief I sought--something more immediate and lasting than medication alone--is exactly what I found. If you're struggling with depression, anxiety, or PTSD, I cannot recommend Brain Wellness Center highly enough. Thank you to Dr. Hashemian, Dr. Palmer, Mayra, Angelica, Autumn, and Olivia for helping me find my way back to myself. The healing journey continues.

"Professional, Friendly, Competent"…read more No one wants to have Parkinson's disease, but if you do, this doctor is a good choice. We have found her to be very sharp on the subject of neurological diseases. We asked quite a few questions, and she knew the answers right away. Clearly, she is an expert in the field. I guess that's why she wins all those awards. I noticed she again won the top Neurologist in the Bay Area award last year. The doctor recommended a certain imaging procedure to test dopamine levels in the brain. This is the best way to try to isolate Parkinson's. When we got the Dopamine results back, she was very encouraging, and immediately prescribed a particularly effective drug. We feel we are in good hands with this physician.

Updating my review 13 years later!…read more I still adore Dr. Sachdeva and her entire staff. They are so kind and truly caring. Not only has Dr. Sachdeva still been managing my Multiple Sclerosis, but she has also recently been helping treat my migraines. Sylvia, her nurse, is also just so amazing! I know I can call them and they will have my best interest at heart. It's so hard to find a neurologist with a personality, but Dr. Sachdeva is like a doctor and a mom all rolled into one. She will empathize with you but also tell you how it is, in a way that is non threatening. She is the reason why I'm on Ocrevus and haven't had any new lesions in 3 years!!! Be prepared for long waits. It can be frustrating but once you are in the room with you her, you understand why. She truly takes the time to know you, and to talk to you.

I made an appointment with Dr. Srikrishin Rohra for a second opinion…read more The original appointment was scheduled nearly six months out. Then, about three weeks before the visit, I fell and fractured three ribs--the 7th, 8th, and 9th on my left side. I called to reschedule, and my appointment was pushed back another 2 1/2 months or so. In the meantime, I fell again and broke my 3rd rib on the right side. I am 80 years old, and all of this has been causing me tremendous stress and pain. Now, my appointment with Dr. Rohra is just two weeks away. I was getting my information together and planning to bring it with me, since this would be our first meeting. Then someone from his office called and asked if I planned to attend. I told her yes. But instead of moving on, she began lecturing me--saying that I had canceled the last time, that there were many people on the waiting list, and so on. I received a long scolding simply for having rescheduled my previous appointment. After hanging up, I found myself wondering what that was all about. Then I thought: why am I being spoken to like a child for rescheduling? It wasn't last minute. The appointment was still weeks away. The more I thought about it, the less I liked it. So I decided to cancel altogether. If that's the kind of staff Dr. Rohra puts in charge, I don't want to see him at all. I am a patient, not a beggar. I don't need to be treated like that. I haven't even met the doctor yet. I am too old to be insulted in this way. This is very poor manners. Why is that woman working in a doctor's office?

She is incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and truly takes the time to understand the whole person rather than simply treating symptoms. I have always felt heard, respected, and actively involved in every decision about my care. What truly sets Dr. Mielke apart is her dedication to staying at the forefront of medical research. She is always up to date with the latest scientific findings and evolving approaches to patient care, and she thoughtfully incorporates that knowledge into personalized treatment plans. It gives me tremendous confidence knowing that my care is both evidence-based and tailored to my individual needs. She explains complex medical topics clearly, never rushes appointments, and genuinely cares about helping her patients achieve the best possible health outcomes. The entire team at Optimal Spectrum is also professional, responsive, and welcoming, making every interaction a positive experience. After more than seven years under Dr. Mielke's care, I can confidently say she has exceeded my expectations in every way. If you're looking for a physician who is compassionate, exceptionally skilled, and committed to providing the highest standard of modern, evidence-based care, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Mielke.
