What Patients Say

Verified reviews, shared with our patients’ permission.

★★★★★
"By far the best doctor I have ever seen. After decades of treatment for depression and anxiety, I am doing the best I have ever been. He is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely cares. He follows up whenever he adjusts medication, which is so important. Even though depression is a lifelong illness, he has made my life so much better and more manageable. He really listens."

"Superior physician. Born for this work. Clearly brilliant and still down to earth, compassionate and objective. I trusted his assessment because he took the time to clearly explain the science behind what I described. Although no clinical diagnosis, which is great, still validated what I was describing and offered additional diagnostic testing and solutions. 100% recommend."

"Dr. Camsari is amazing. I have been seeing him for close to 2 years and my mental health has done a complete 180 since we started. He is extremely knowledgeable of medications and what may work best for your particular situation and needs."

"I am in need of a medication adjustment for depression. Dr Camsari was kind, patient and very thorough with his questions. He also took the time to explain his medical reasoning for his recommendations for me. I was especially pleased that he also is holistic in his approach. As I do take medication for another medical condition, he will try to coordinate with my other specialist to consider a drug that is therapeutic for my other condition and my depression. I appreciate when medical personnel recognize the importance of minimizing the types and numbers of medications a person is given. Rather than making a quick change, Dr Casmari is changing one medication to a different form. He is also having me go down slightly on a second medication. We will meet again in a few weeks to assess that change. When our session ended, I felt heard, confident in Dr. Casmari, and relieved that he will be working with me to adjust my medication regimen."

"I have found Dr. Camsari to be one of the most approachable and skilled psychiatrists I have known. He listens and responds both to my feelings and suggestions with compassion and understanding. I believe he respects my point of view and truly cares about me and my situation in life. All this combined with his knowledge and expertise make him a physician I respect and trust."

"Dr. Camsari is the absolute best!! I can not say enough good things about him. He was patient with me when I needed to vent about my past dr who put me on the wrong medicine for years. He took the time to listen to what I was saying and then made a plan to get me on the right medication that actually works! He explains things to you, does his research, and keeps up with you because a depressed person has a tendency to just continue on with a med even if it's not working. Dr. C cares so much and I thank God for him because he has helped me so much in such a short time. Like I said, even though depression is a lifelong illness, he has made my life so much better and has made my life more manageable. He really listens!"

The Four Perspectives Approach

Cognitive Works's approach is rooted in the Four Perspectives model — a framework developed at Johns Hopkins by Paul R. McHugh and Phillip R. Slavney, and widely regarded as a more rigorous alternative to the conventional biopsychosocial model. This approach examines the human mind through four distinct yet cooperative lenses, each of which can be objectively evaluated and independently monitored: the Disease perspective (what a person has), the Behavioral perspective (what a person does), the Dimensional perspective (who a person is), and the Life Story perspective (what a person encounters). The result is a precise, multi-dimensional understanding of each patient — and a foundation for seamless, harmonious collaboration between psychiatrist and psychotherapist.
