Dr. Scott Cherkasky, MD

He is fantastic all around and on my level which makes me feel comfortable. Thank you Dr C for helping me during a very difficult time.

Dr. Scott Cherkasky is a wonderful man, who is extremely knowledgeable. Sadly, he misunderstood my particular situation and tried to put me on medications that would have made me feel sick. I made the decision to stop seeing him, but I will always consider him a friend.

Super grateful for dr. Cherkasky! He’s the least judgmental psych I’ve ever had. Quick. Efficient and understanding. He’s always made me feel like I had someone in my corner.

Dr. Cherkasky is phenomenal. He helped to me manage many things that I had struggled with and even suffered from. He expertise is obvious and is why I have an optimistic perspective and a brighter future. Thank you, Dr. Cherkasky!

I saw Dr. Cherkasky after seeing multiple psychiatrists in the past. I have never felt heard or understood by my previous doctors. Dr. Cherkasky is amazing, I would recommend him to anyone who is struggling and needs some extra help. I look forward to continuing my treatment with him.

I am a patient. I have never had a psychiatrist before, only a therapist which practices CBT or DBT and the answer for me has been a combination therapy with a small amount of medication which I have Dr. Cherkasky to thank. He has a very flexible and analytical approach with medicine which I appreciate.

A life saving doctor. Remarkable.

I am a referred clinician not a patient. All clients I referred to him had showed consistent health improvement. Dr Cherkasky is a gem. His approach is humanistic and holistic which is rare among psychiatry doctors.

I am a referring clinician, not a patient. He has always taken good care of anyone I’ve referred to him.

I phoned him, to see if he took my insurance. He called and said he would check. Never heard from him again. Luckily, I found a great therapist.

I have seen a multitude of doctors over the span of three years; however, NONE can hold a candle to Dr. Cherkasky. Dr. Cherkasky actually listens and genuinely cares for his patients wellbeing! I was ready to give up and believed no one could relieve me of the psychological pain torturing my everyday life. Using psychopharmacology and his quirky sense of humor, Dr. Cherkasky gave me my life back. If you are struggling like I was, there is hope.

I have been taking my daughter to the top specialists in Los Angeles for the past three years and Dr. Cherkasky has by far the most compassionate, caring, and effective doctor we have seen. He actually TAKES THE TIME to really listen to what is going on and he follows up to make sure the the medication is working. We especially appreciate his conservative approach to medication. Where most doctors just want to put you on this that and the other, Dr. Cherkasky has a more holistic approach.

Dr. Cherkasky is one of the best psychiatrists in Los Angeles. I have been a family therapist working in LA for almost 30 years and I have dealt with many MDs for my own clients. Dr. Cherkasky takes excellent care of his patients. He really listens carefully and shows real empathy towards his patients. My clients always tell me how lucky they feel to be under his care.
