Palo Alto Mind Body

"I have been seeing Dr. Yaghoobi for a few months now. She is the functional health medicine doctor at PAMB. She is an amazing person and doctor. After an extensive diagnostic appointment, she recommended a program that included gut health and adrenal support program. I had brain fog, poor sleep, anxiety and constant fatigue. I HONESTLY did not expect much improvement as I have lived like this for so long. Under her care and guidance, my brain fog is GONE, my sleep is now of good quality and my energy levels keep rising. I am amazed at the results! It is truly remarkable! I did not know my head could be this clear. I forgot what it felt like to have a good nights sleep. I am blown away by the results of her program. The gut health anti-inflammatory diet is worth the effort. I have had long periods of a glutten-free diet and a vegan diet in the past with the hopes of feeling better. I did not feel any difference. So when Dr. Yaghoobi suggested an anti-inflammatory diet, I was extremely skeptical (pretty much a non-believer). After 2 weeks into the diet and program, my brain fog disappeared. I woke up with a clear head. I am not finished with the gut health program and have recently started with the adrenal health program. The results I have seen so far are truly unbelievable. The functional medicine care that I am receiving from Dr. Yaghoobi is greater than the gut health and adrenal support. She treats my entire body and mind. Following her guidance, she has helped me decrease stress and anxiety. She is very insightful and knowledgeable. She truly listens and with each visit, she helps me improve the quality of my life. She is truly a miracle worker. I cannot say enough about Dr. Yaghoobi, her program and about PAMB . The staff, doctors and treatments at PAMB have been life changing for me."

"For something as sensitive as the type of medical care offered at Palo Alto Mind Body, particularly the Spravato treatments, they are simply the best. I’ve read so many stories of how these types of clinics can be a nightmare, but PAMB is definitely a gem. I’m so lucky I was able to find them when I did!"

"I was an existing client of Palo Alto Mind Body when staff came to me to tell me that they have a chiropractor working with them and she might be of help. I'll be honest: I was really skeptical. I had seen so many other chiropractors before, and while some provided temporary relief, none provided long-term relief, and never any improvement. However Dr. Yaghoobi offered a different approach, and I was willing to give it a go. I'm so glad that I did. The improvement is slow, because it takes a while for the body to heal and adapt new ways of being. But the improvement is there. As an example, before all the body work she did on me, I couldn't exercise at all. I have all sorts of stuff off with my back, and so I can't do much walking or standing. I can't even do a whole lot of sitting. In fact, I am technically disabled. But as of last week, I had improved enough, that I purchased a recumbent tricycle, and I am biking now! And every day, I do a little more biking. Previously, any biking triggered my spine and put me flat on my back for two days. That I can now incorporate some cardio into my life is going to make such a difference. I sleep better. My mood is better. And my cardio vascular health is going to improve. But wait, there's more. On a daily basis, my overall pain levels have improved. And if you don't know what it's like to have to deal with severe chronic pain, let me tell you, I hope you never have to find out. I still can't sit for more than two hours, nor walk or stand for more than five minutes, and I still need a hybrid walker in order to be briefly mobile. Considering the prognosis of my spinal stenosis, this is probably how things are always going to be for me. However, thanks to Dr. Yaghoobi, life has become a lot more bearable. Thank you so much, Dr. Yaghoobi. I have also found that my pain levels are more tolerable with the ketamine treatments that they offer at PAMB. And the staff has been phenomenal making me understand the treatments and giving me a safe, supportive space in which to receive treatment. Ketamine doesn't make that pain go away, but it takes the edge off of it, so that it isn't as, let's say, cutting. A big thank you to the ketamine treatment staff!"

"I'm posting this on behalf of my daughter, who got Spravato treatment at Palo Alto Mind Body twice a week this summer. She is just another teenager/young adult who is suffering from depression, but in her case, Spravato was the first and only treatment that helped. That's not what I wish to comment about though. The point here is the really remarkable, all-around amazing experience we had with Palo Alto Mind Body. They provided a very welcoming, comfortable, calm and caring environment for Spravato patients. There is always staff looking out for each individual patient as they go through those two-hour-plus sessions of therapy, and the helping them leave whem they are ready but feeling a little wobbly afterwards. One time when our car had been vandalized they called us an Uber at their expense, just to make sure my daughter would get home safely. Palo Alto Mind Body also is very careful about initial interviews and about collaborating with their patients' psychiatrists -- a must in the case of Spravato treatment -- and amazingly effective in dealing with insurances. These are all services that are bound to consume a lot of professional time, but this clinic seems intentionally set up with professional staff to deal with the various administrative hurdles that uncommon new treatments bring to the fore. Frankly, I envied my daughter her PAMB sessions! I wish PAMB the best of luck; they are competent and caring pioneers in what we all must hope will eventually become mainstream treatments."

"I have been to three different ketamine clinics- my experience at Palo Alto Mind Body was incredibly disappointing. This clinic operates as a business, not as a genuine care center. The staff is under-qualified and inexperienced. While the office building is relatively nice, the medical equipment used is about as cheap as it can get. An under-qualified and inexperienced physician's assistant conducted my intake interview, and the psychiatrist came in for at most five minutes right before my infusion, answering my questions while the med tech was trying to put the IV in. He left before answering all my questions because the tech was unable to put the IV in my vein (she did manage to put it other places in my arm) while he was talking, and was unavailable after the infusion (at which point I wouldn't have been able to ask the questions I wanted to ask anyway). When I was called by the scheduler to book a follow up, I politely let her know that I wasn't satisfied with the experience and would not be booking a follow up, at which point she increasingly rudely tried to convince me to schedule another appointment."
