PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

My journey with Crestline Health and Wellness

Physician Francis Peabody once said, “The secret of the care of the patient is in caring for the patient.” To be a patient of Dr. Amy is to know true care and to be truly cared for. Over the past five years, I have been fortunate enough to be a patient of hers, and I can confidently say that it is her unwavering and intentional care that has led me to remission from severe bipolar depression and suicidal thoughts.

I cannot begin to count the number of times I have visited her office or sat in a treatment room, but I can express my deepest gratitude for the profound impact she has had on my well-being. Dr. Amy embodies the highest standards of medical care. She is a continual learner, an attentive listener, a skilled physician, and a compassionate soul.

Every time I am under her care, I feel seen, heard, respected, and treated with precision and gentleness. Her compassionate spirit and practice instill in me an unwavering trust and respect for her abilities.

Stepping into another doctor’s office can be daunting, especially for those struggling with mental health challenges. However, Crestline Health and Wellness stands out as a beacon of comfort and empathy. Upon entering, you are enveloped in a sense of warmth and understanding. During treatment, you receive swift and effective care, and throughout the process, you are closely monitored and supported.

Dr. Amy and her exceptional team leave nothing to be desired. They are quick to meet the needs of each patient, making the entire process from entry to exit feel like a collaborative journey of understanding. This is a stark contrast to the rushed and impersonal nature of hospital stays, emergency room visits, or short doctor’s appointments.

Time is given to each client, and the entire process is marked by a deep sense of connection and comprehension. Dr. Amy’s knowledge of the medical field is complemented by her tender approach to handling each patient’s needs.

In the field of Ketamine Treatment, Dr. Amy van Elkan is an unparalleled expert and I am incredibly grateful to be a patient of hers.

My Journey at Crestline Health and Wellness

I first sought out Dr. van Elkan during what felt like the darkest period of my life. I was struggling with severe depression, PTSD, and anxiety that had stolen my energy, isolated me from my loved ones, and left me feeling completely lost and hopeless. I had seen several psychiatrists and therapists over the years, but it was Dr. van Elkan who finally helped me see a path forward.

What set Dr. van Elkan apart was her kindness and compassion. Dr. van Elkan took the time to truly listen to me. I never felt rushed, and I always felt heard. She created a therapeutic environment where I felt completely safe, understood, and, most importantly, never judged. Her compassionate, non-judgmental approach was the foundation upon which my recovery was built. She set me up with a Ketamine regiment that helped me heal and thrive.

Because of Dr. van Elkan’s expertise, patience, and unwavering support, I have regained my passion for life, my energy, and the joy in my relationships. Choosing Dr.van Elkan was the single most important decision I made on this journey. I wholeheartedly recommend “Dr. Amy” to anyone seeking dedicated, expert, and life-changing care for their mental health. She gave me my life back.
