Testimonials

  • I first went to Dr. Engwall at an immensely difficult time in my life, over a year ago. His diagnosis was finally the right one out of everyone I'd seen. … Extremely helpful! He literally has been a light in the world of Psychiatry; I finally found the right one who completely understood my situation, and how to move forward with medications, etc. I highly recommend him to you!

  • Dr Engwall is an excellent therapist/psychiatrist. He has demonstrated great knowledge of possible treatment options and always presents a professional, caring demeanor. I am grateful to have found him, and I would highly recommend him to anyone suffering through a difficult time in their life.

  • We’ve been working with Dr. Engwall for the past two years. His genetic testing caught our son’s vulnerability to rapid cycling bipolar disorder, something that can be brought on by the use of SSRI medication. When we first met with Dr. Engwall we had just started our son on Prozac through another psychiatrist. Dr. Engwall was able to catch the warning signs early and based on his genetic testing he recommended we try an alternate medication that has worked extremely well. We also went through 3 rounds of neurofeedback, which helped our son’s executive functioning issues. Dr. Engwall is a thoughtful, caring psychiatrist. We highly recommend Dr. Engwall, especially if your child has treatment-resistant depression. He has been a lifesaver, literally.

  • My experience with Dr. Engwall was nothing short of exceptional. During each session, the EEG tech made sure I was comfortable and answered all of my questions articulately. Once my Therapy was complete, Dr. Engwall explained my results in terms that were easy to understand and made recommendations of how to adjust my lifestyle to continue to receive maximum benefit.

  • We are so thankful that we have been a part of your care over the last year. It has been an exceptional experience.

    You do such great work!

    (Teen who had benefitted from getting a more accurate diagnosis leading to a much better medication/psychotherapy for severe moods/substance use along with treating ADHD and substance use with neurofeedback.)

  • I have the deepest gratitude and respect for Dr Engwall as he helped me dig myself out of a very low point in my life. Dr Engwall listened to me, showed me compassion, and then ran tests to determine what medications would be best for my genetics and metabolism. He even encouraged and taught mindfulness meditation.

    With my previous doctor, it was like throwing darts to see what worked. There was no talk therapy, just a brief visit where I filled out a form and he would adjust my dosage.

    -JZ via Yelp

  • I am so happy with the results of my child's neurofeedback treatment. There is a marked difference in her anxiety & stress levels. She is able to deal with hurdles that come up without the hand-holding and guidance she once needed. She is willing to take on new experiences and challenges without her anxiety rising to paralyzing levels. She also has a better understanding of how her brain works and can identify when a situation may trigger her anxiety and how she can deal with it.

  • I greatly look forward to and enjoy my visits with Dr. Engwall. He's attentive and empathetic, as well as warm and witty when appropriate. As a patient, I appreciate his genuine demeanor and find comfort in the professional, yet cordial, environment he creates during my visits/appointments.

    -MD

  • Dr Engwall's approach is helpful in regards to how he works as a therapist as well a physician. He works to see how I see life so he can better communicate with me and ultimately prescribe me the tools to make things “easier.”

    -JH

  • What I like most about visiting Dr Engwall is that he always helps me understand the difficulties I'm dealing with in a better/ more complete/ optimistic sense, and how to deal/cope with them. I've come so far from my first visit with regards to better dealing with my condition mentally/emotionally I cannot thank Brad enough for his help.

    -MW

  • Dr. Engwall is kind and compassionate. He has helped to guide me with his gentle way of listening, reframing and enabling me to identify the early struggles that have impacted me in a very practical and reassuring manner. He is open to a variety of treatment methods, including new research and discoveries. This has been very helpful in working together to explore new ways to help me open up, remember and understand memories I had buried or diminished during my life.
