Dr. Elias H Sarkis founded our clinic in 1991 with a vision to provide high quality psychiatric care to the children and families of north-central Florida. As we've grown over the years, that vision has inspired us to include a wide range of treatment options that address individual needs in a holistic and integrative way. This means we examine patients' nutritional habits, social interactions, schoolwork, sleep schedules and more as part of the psychiatric evaluation.
Then, in addition to taking full advantage of conventional treatment approaches like medication, psychotherapy, and couples therapy, we also use nutritional supplements, cutting-edge technology, relaxation, meditation, mindfulness and other non-drug treatments as part of our approach to integrative, complimentary medicine.

Depression
Report
Sadness and loneliness are normal, healthy emotional experiences. Loneliness helps us know when we have been alone too long. Sadness is a normal response to losing someone or something that really matters to us. a friend, a lover, a job, a home. Grief is a more intense form of sadness that we experience after a particularly painful loss such as the death of a loved one.

Bad experience here. Tried 2 different doctors and had the same situations occur. Major lack of transparency in the patient/doctor relationship. First of all, I was never told what my diagnosis was. I had to drag it out of my doctor 6 months into treatment. Secondly, I was prescribed medicine without being told what it was for. Later I found out they gave me an off label prescription for a medicine that had no connection to my diagnosis. After 7 months of being on one certain medicine (with absolutely no effect) the doctor just increased the dosage and prescribed more medicine on top of it instead

Exceptional care facility. I had been dealing with anxiety for years until I went to Sarkis. The receptionist I dealt with, Elizabeth Sapp was super nice and welcoming everytime I called or came up there. She went above and beyond the call of duty to help me and many others. A true blessing from above!!! 👍👍👍

This was the best experience I ever had with doctors. I was skeptical because when I called to make the appointment they guided me to a nurse practitioner, as opposed to a doctor. I was also worried because it is a private pay only facility that they were going to take my money and not help me (as has happened so many times in the past). Once I got there I just felt like they actually cared, the front desk staff immediately asked me who I was and what time my appointment was, and when they looked in the file they had from filling out the initial appointment review they immediately gave me the packet

The Dr I saw harped on my weight nonstop.Dr Solomon didn’t see me as a person, just someone who was overweight. If she’d have quit pushing the scale she would have seen the depressed patient in front of her. But she didn’t. Maybe she should have gone into bariatric medicine. Or become a personal trainer. And stayed away from vulnerable depressed and anxious people.
