Although it’s somewhat challenging to actually get up to the house and office it’s well worth it, Dr Bahl is very well trained in drug and alcohol issues. He’s very knowledgeable and very clear with expectations. I’ve gone through multiple doctors until I finally found Dr Bahl who actually knows what to do . I’ve had depression all my life and now he can even treat that as well as my withdrawal from an opioid. I find him to b a well qualified doctor. I would listen to him he knows what he is doing. The support staff have also been very helpful and supportive to me. I’m so happy after four years I have finally found this clinic. I highly recommend shanti to people who have a drug and alcohol problem and depression.Posted on Google pawan sekhonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I’ve been a client here for about a year and a half, my experience has been life changing. I know that may sound cliche, but I’ll put it to you like this: I came to Shanti via recommendation from a treatment center for depression. Talking with both doctors, I feel listened to, validated, not talked down to. They are very knowledgeable in their field, and I trust their judgement. Side note, Rose fought with my insurance company for for me to get me approved for TMS therapy, which I am currently in the middle of. The process for TMS is quick and straight forward.

A New Approach to Treating Depression — Without Medication
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment for depression that hasn’t responded to medication or therapy alone. It uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation—helping patients feel clearer, more energized, and emotionally balanced.
TMS is drug-free, covered by most major insurance plans, and requires no sedation or downtime. Most patients relax during sessions, then return to their normal activities right after.
If you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, TMS could offer the breakthrough you’ve been looking for—safely, effectively, and with care that puts you first.
