Testimonials

20-year veteran NFL coach

In the months before seeing Dr Pandya, I saw many doctors and was prescribed treatment that never came close to helping my depression. I wondered how I could go on barely able to get out of bed every morning. Dr Pandya’s recommendation continues to help me function as a normal human being going on four years now. For that alone I will always be grateful!”

Russell Maryland, NFL #1 overall draft pick and 3-time Super Bowl Champion

“Through our professional relationship and work together, I have seen the value that Dr Pandya brings to players needing mental health support. Dr Pandya’s ability to easily relate to professional athletes, understand the culture, and confidentially collaborate with others makes him a tremendous asset to any team. I would encourage any player struggling with the demands and stressors of their professional career to consider reaching out to Dr Pandya”

Dr James Bell, UK Sport & former Lead Academy Psychologist, Rugby Football Union

“Dr. Pandya possesses all of the qualities one would hope to find in an expert in behavioural health: intellect, insightfulness, empathy, and understanding. Dr. Pandya’s acute problem solving capacity and willingness to work collaboratively with multiple stakeholders makes him stand out. I continue to turn to him for his professional opinion and would recommend him to any athlete, coach or organisation requiring behavioural health consultation”

Steve Sanders, former NFL Wide Receiver and Executive Director of 'Training Camp for Life'

“After retiring from the NFL, I experienced depression. After months of not feeling like myself I opened up to someone and they suggested I seek professional support from Dr. Mayur Pandya. I was hesitant initially but after a few minutes, I felt very comfortable sharing my issues with him. Because of his support, I was able to overcome depression. I know it’s hard for athletes to overcome their pride but I am living proof that there is help for you if you are willing to have the courage enough to ask for help! If you are experiencing something similar, I highly recommend you contact ACE Sports Psychiatry”

Agent for NFL 1st Round Draft Pick

“Dr. Pandya is as good as it gets in the field. Day or night, weekday or weekend, Dr. Pandya always made himself available. He worked carefully and creatively with the client. But, he also worked tirelessly the client’s support group—always within the bounds of confidentiality agreed to by his client—to help the support group understand how to better help the client. Confidentiality, a knowledge of league rules, and a deep understanding of the complicated mental focus that elite athletes must have, were critical to this athlete’s care. Dr. Pandya understood all of these issues. He has a broad understanding of how professional sports leagues work. This knowledge base was a critical tool in helping make sure the client’s best interests were served at all times. I would recommend Dr. Pandya to any client or family member who needs help in these areas”
