Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I’ve been his patient for 18 years!
Dr. Darmal has helped me through every season of my life since I was in my 20’s, from moving to LA, living a stressful life, marriage, divorce, Covid, and single parenting. He has helped me navigate through life by guiding me with not only medicine when needed but lifestyle changes, diet and supplements. He genuinely listens to me, and I have never felt rushed or judged. I have always been able to contact him in an emergency, and he’s a big reason I’m succeeding in life. The office has always been kind and compassionate whether I call or email. I highly recommend Dr. Darmal and the Amen Clinic in Costa Mesa.

Scam he is not qualified to be a psychiatrist
He has a lot of personal issues in his personal life. He shouldn’t be giving advice to anyone.

Dr. Darmal was unprofessional, and did not understand the pharmacological effects of the (grey-market) meds he recommended that I take. I dumped him, and went back to my GP. After terminating my relationship with him, he slandered me in an interview for an employment background investigation. He and his staff also performed poorly at correctly assessing cognitive function.

The Amen clinic is Woo nonsence and Dr. Darmal was no better. Not only was it almost impossible to get medication refills, I had to go to another psychiatrist in order to stop the horrible things my medications were doing. We spent 5000 dollars on the SPECT scan and all I have to show from it is some colorful pictures that tell me nothing or next to nothing or things that I already knew. Would recommend astrology before this nonsense
