I have been seeing Dr. Boerlin for 2 years and he saved my life. I have never felt better and in control. I had struggled with anxiety and depression for as long as I can remember, had many instances of "what is the point" feelings to where I was afraid to drive my car because of "accidentally" running into a tree, and had been on a boatload of medications. I was on a road to nowhere. My friend went to Dr. Boerlin and said he changed her life. I thought I'd try, but Dr. Boerlin doesn't take insurance so I decided to stick with Dr's in my plan. BAD IDEA. Overall, these psychiatrists seemed to be always rushed which added to my anxiety, kept adding meds that didn't seem to help and saw me as a "diagnosis" but didn't seem interested in me as a person, which did great things to my self-esteem and depression.

From our first meeting Dr. Boerlin saw me as a whole person and that I mattered. During our visits he would ask the necessary medical follow-up questions, but also asked about ME, what was going on in my life, etc. I told him about my dog, Morty, having medical problems and that my sister was ready to have her baby. At my next visit, made a point of asking me about Morty and if my sister had her baby. It may not sound like much, but to me it meant a lot. He tapered me off of several medications that other Dr's had prescribed but had not been helping and provided workbooks to help me understand and better control my depressive and anxiety "triggers." He gave me the tools to help me help myself. With some trial and error to find the right meds and along with therapy, I am feeling better than I ever have. I wasted so much time with these other Dr's all because of $$. You really get what you pay for and had I known I could feel so much better, I wouldn't have hesitated.

He is very knowledgeable (Harvard, UCLA...need I say more); patient and very understanding. I feel like with him I am getting treatment for my depression, and not a quick fix. Work the work and it works! I will always have to deal with depression, it is just a part of me and I accept that, but I now feel like I have better control over it and over my feelings about it.
Seeing him was the best thing I've ever done for myself. If I sound so gushy, it's because I was at rock bottom before I saw him. I literaly owe him my life.
