“I was struggling with many difficult injuries and issues that were not dealt with effectively in traditional psychiatry. My personal struggles led me to substance abuse and self-destructive behavior. I was losing hope in having any type of a life without the medication because that is all that my other doctor was telling me. I was supposed to be a life-long victim, forever on medication. My parents tried 43 different psychiatrists on Long Island and nobody would even talk to me on the phone because I was labeled suicidal and psychotic. Doctor Gurevich accepted me as a patient and thus began my life transformation. The first step that he took was to reduce my medications and putting me on supplements. The kinesiology treatments completely changed my perception of what bodily health is. Doctor Gurevich’s methods seemed un-orthodox at first, but as my treatment continued, it was the traditional psychiatry that began to seem un-orthodox. I’ve been off all of medication, the medication that I was supposed to be on forever, for one year now. I went back to school and finished a B.S. Science degree and I have worked a year in a professional capacity. I am healthier than I have ever been and have hope for the future. I was very, very, lucky to have found him. Doctor Gurevich is more than a good doctor. He gave me my life back. He is what Doctors are supposed to be in a society: healer, teacher, and philosopher. Thank you, Dr. Gurevich, words cannot accurately describe what you have given me.”

“I came to Dr. Gurevich because of my inability to healthily handle an adverse work situation and some very nasty custody issues with my ex-wife (in fact, I was not functioning very well in any area of my life). Dr. Gurevich led me to the realization that my past actions and behavior had conditioned me to respond in a self-destructive way. I have improved considerably under his care. I am healthier and happier than when I started. I am able to talk and act more rationally than I did before, and most importantly, my relationships with my wife and sons have improved considerably. I talk to Dr. Gurevich about my situation and how I react, Dr. Gurevich tries to get me to eat better and exercise, and he gets me to think and act on my spiritual situation. He has engaged my mind, my body, and my soul — I don’t think improvement would be possible unless I deal with me totally, and Dr Gurevich leads me to view myself more completely. Dr. Gurevich has never judged me, and he treats me as a fully functioning, intelligent person. He believes that I can get better, and I am.”

With Deepest Gratitude for Our Work Together
I came to you with tears of despair
To help me heal my wounded heart.
Instead you made me aware that
I had a healer inside.
I came to you for answers
To rid off my confused state of mind.
Instead you made me aware
O had a wise woman guiding me all the time.
I came to you
To help me get rid of my emotional pain.
Instead you made me aware
That it was not mine.
I came to you
Seeking for happiness.
Instead you made me aware
This is not given but earned in time.
I came to you for acceptance
Not knowing where else to look for it.
Instead you made me aware
I did not yet feel my true essence in life.
I came to you with a tunnel vision
Blaming others for my distress.
Instead you helped open the chambers of my soul
From where I took in others and felt whole.
My whole life has turned around
Not by you giving me the things I looked for in you.
Yet by the giving of yourself
Through your wisdom, your knowledge and steadfast care.
Your student

Thanks so much for your courtesies above and beyond. You are clearly among the best psychiatrist in the world… and I have been fortunate enough to meet several of them. Your methods have taught you how to reach the root of the disorder… and then effect positive change… and probably cure many of your patients quickly. You are a blessing!

“I became a patient of Dr. Gurevich at a time when I was feeling very down. I had been told I had a heart condition and I had many other issues in my family to deal with. I was a zombie from lack of sleep and the effect of sleeping pills ( I tried several brands). Dr. Gurevich told me he could help me but that I had to have an open mind and be willing to try new approaches to getting my life in balance. Over the course of four months I followed Dr.. Gurevich’s advice (well most of it!) and went to therapy sessions weekly at first and then every other week. Within four months I was feeling so much better that I was able to deal with life again on my own. I am please to say this was accomplished without resource to any medications, except for holistic treatment. That was a year ago and I am please to say I have never looked back and feel wonderful.”
A grateful patient.
Dr. Gurevich,
Thank you sir! You are a brilliant doctor. A credit to the medical field. Let me explain; please bear with me. Four years ago, our son, M.L.H. came to you with severe depression and a cocaine problem…

Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Gurevich,
I have known you on a professional and personal basis for a few years now. I am a dermatologist and you are a psychiatrists, and you have been a person who has taught me many things , which have been beneficial for myself as well as my patients. Your alternative ways of understanding issues especially , the constellation method, is most helpful on many levels. When a patient chooses a physicians, most physicians offer their patients the same types of treatments. Your armamentarium of available treatments includes many things that other doctors are unaware of , and yet very helpful. So those who get to learn from you are all very lucky. Thank you,
J. K., M.D.

Dear Dr. Gurevich,
I am writing to share some information with you. I came to see you for an evaluation about 6 months ago. Believing in holistic approaches I presented with my history of Dysthymia and recent trial of Lexapro 10mg x 3 months, which I felt was unsuccessful.
During your exam you identified what you thought was the source of my problem (a thyroid issue) and suggested that I have a thyroid function test done. Now while I just had one about 6-9 months prior, after discussing it with my physician Dr. S. G., we decided to repeat it based on your intuition. This test was normal too so I just wrote it off.
A few months ago I arranged to have a cyst removed from my right neck area even though the biopsy was negative and just 2 weeks ago after surgery to remove the cyst I received word that the pathology report identified a papillary carcinoma originating in the thyroid. My prognosis is good so I am not alarmed so much as I am amazed by your intuitive gift.
I just wanted to share with you that what you were picking up was indeed accurate despite the unremarkable TFT’s. At some point in the future I plan on returning to see you again. Until then thank you for your remarkable gift and skill.
With appreciation,
R.B.
Hi, my name is Pat B. and I have been a patient of Dr. Gurevich for several years now. I am happy to report that now I only have to check in with him on a semi annual basis. Alas, but that is getting way ahead of my story. I am an R.N. with a master’s degree in nursing, and I suffered for approximately 15 years with fibromyalgia. I saw many physicians and tried many treatments, mainly medication without much relief. I am very grateful that through my search to get off my medications on the internet I came across Dr. Gurevich’s name and information about an approach that he uses to help get patient’s off unnecessary and sometimes harmful medications.
When I first met Dr. Gurevich, I was looking for some sort of miracle. I told him about my symptoms of fatigue to the point that I could barely get off the couch and pain throughout my body. He asked me a lot of questions, one was about metal in my body. I will make a long story short and tell you that through the testing that was done, it was determined that I had extremely and dangerously high levels of mercury in my body. I followed his protocol and slowly but surely, I began to get better. I had more energy, my head was finally clear and my pain was significantly reduced using his recommendations. Oh, yes and I began to sleep much better. I have now gone back to school and am pursuing my second master’s degree at age 57. This NEVER would have been possible had I not been lucky enough to find Dr. Gurevich. He is truly an expert healer and I am so glad that I was able to find him and receive the relief that has given me back a life.
P.B.
