Patient Experience
As a 72-year-old Holocaust survivor with complex PTSD, I'd resisted psychiatric care for decades until my granddaughter convinced me to see Dr. Weiser. His gentle approach integrating trauma therapy with my cultural background helped me finally process memories I'd buried for 60 years. The nightmares have stopped, and I can now speak about my experiences without panic.
Our 16-year-old daughter was experiencing sudden personality changes and paranoia. Dr. Weiser recognized it as the first psychotic episode of emerging schizophrenia and created an innovative treatment plan combining medication with family therapy. His 24/7 availability during the crisis and his work educating our family transformed a terrifying situation into manageable recovery.
As a professional athlete facing career-ending performance anxiety, I was skeptical about psychiatry. Dr. Weiser developed a unique biofeedback-assisted therapy program that addressed both the psychological and physiological aspects of my anxiety. I not only returned to competition but achieved my personal best records this season.
Our 8-year-old son began exhibiting violent outbursts at school. Dr. Weiser diagnosed a rare pediatric bipolar disorder that multiple doctors had missed. His specialized treatment protocol involving play therapy and carefully monitored medication has given our child back his childhood and our family its peace.
After surviving a terrorist attack, I developed severe agoraphobia and couldn't leave my apartment. Dr. Weiser pioneered a virtual reality exposure therapy customized to my specific trauma triggers. Six months later, I not only go outside freely but have returned to work in the same area where the attack occurred.
As a medical student experiencing burnout and suicidal ideation, I was terrified this would end my career. Dr. Weiser created a confidential treatment program that accommodated my rigorous schedule while addressing the root causes of my perfectionism and self-criticism. He saved both my life and my vocation.
Our elderly mother with dementia developed severe sundowning symptoms that made home care impossible. Dr. Weiser's innovative light therapy and behavioral intervention program reduced her agitation by 80%, allowing her to remain at home with us rather than moving to a facility.
As a refugee from Syria with no family in Israel, my depression was compounded by isolation and language barriers. Dr. Weiser learned basic Arabic phrases, incorporated cultural sensitivity into treatment, and connected me with community resources. His holistic approach addressed both my mental health and social integration needs.
After losing my twin brother to cancer, I developed complicated grief that traditional therapy couldn't touch. Dr. Weiser's use of narrative therapy and guided imagery helped me process my loss in ways I never thought possible. I've found meaning in creating a foundation in my brother's memory.
Our 28-year-old daughter with severe OCD had failed multiple treatments. Dr. Weiser developed an experimental deep brain stimulation protocol combined with cognitive behavioral therapy that reduced her symptoms by 90%. She's now living independently for the first time in ten years.
As a concert pianist with focal dystonia, I was facing the end of my career. Dr. Weiser's innovative mind-body approach combining neurological psychiatry with specialized physical retraining allowed me to regain control of my hand movements. I performed my first full concert last month after three years of silence.
Our 14-year-old ******* son was experiencing severe depression during his transition. Dr. Weiser provided affirming care that addressed both his mental health needs and coordinated with his endocrinologist. His gender-affirming approach literally saved our child's life during a vulnerable period.
As a retired intelligence officer with classified trauma, I couldn't discuss specific events with therapists. Dr. Weiser developed a metaphorical treatment approach that allowed me to process my experiences without violating security protocols. For the first time in 40 years, I'm sleeping through the night.
After a botched surgery left me with chronic pain and depression, I'd given up hope. Dr. Weiser's pain psychiatry program using mindfulness-based stress reduction and targeted antidepressants reduced my pain perception by 60% and restored my quality of life when every other specialist had failed.
