SILVERLINING Psychiatry Medical Group — Psychiatrist in San Diego, CA

I am incredibly grateful for the care and professionalism shown by Dr. Sivtsov and his wonderful office team. From the very first appointment, I felt heard, respected, and genuinely supported. Dr. Sivtsov takes the time to truly listen and understand my concerns. He approaches every session with compassion, patience, and deep expertise. His thoughtful guidance and evidence-based approach have made a meaningful difference in my mental health journey. I never feel rushed, and he always ensures that I fully understand my treatment options. It’s clear that he truly cares about his patients’ well-being. The office staff are equally exceptional. They are warm, welcoming, and highly organized. Scheduling appointments is always smooth, and they are quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Every interaction—whether in person or over the phone—is handled with kindness and professionalism. It’s rare to find a practice where both the provider and the administrative team operate at such a high standard. I highly recommend this office to anyone seeking compassionate, knowledgeable, and reliable psychiatric care.

Highly recommend! Dr. Sivtsov and his team do their best to work with your insurance for you to get things covered. He really cares about getting you the care you need. Their technician Karla is an absolute gem!

Silverlining changed my life!! Dr. Sivstov was determined to help me find effective treatment after I’d experienced many trials and failures with different meds and therapies. He helped me get my life back and I couldn’t be happier with my mental health.

I've been a patient at this clinic for years and feel very lucky to have found Dr Sivtsov. He has a calm and chill demeanor, and is thoughtful when he listens and determines a treatment plan. It's always been easy to schedule an appointment or do other communication with the front desk. I've definitely had difficult experiences in the past with other psychiatrists so my appreciation for this doctor and office can't be overstated.

I cannot recommend Dr. Sivtsov enough. I initially sought treatment for my mental health and was immediately struck by how thoughtful and individualized his approach is. He does not believe in one size fits all treatment. Instead, he takes the time to truly understand each person and thoughtfully tailors care to their specific needs. Through his guidance, I have undergone both TMS and medication treatment, and both have made a significant positive impact on my life. His ability to combine different treatment modalities in a strategic and compassionate way really sets him apart. Beyond his expertise, his entire team is exceptional. They are professional, responsive, and genuinely kind, which makes navigating mental health care much less overwhelming. I am deeply grateful for the care I have received and would confidently recommend his practice to anyone seeking comprehensive and personalized psychiatric care.

The staff is so nice. But Dr. Sivtsov is very kind and he understands your needs almost instantly. I speak to him and he can already figure out what I need even if through trial and error. He’s the only psychiatrist who understands me and is willing to help me. I appreciate him so much with everything he has done for me. Highly recommend!

Such an amazing team! Carla and Crystal go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable during treatments. I’ve been coming here for at least a year and a half and I once a week and have never once dreaded a visit. The doctor is also fantastic! He doesn’t just prescribe, he listens and tries to figure out the root of the problem. 10/10 !

Dr. Sivtsov is thoughtful, engaging, and highly knowledgable, always taking the time to understand my concerns and work with me to devise customized treatment strategies. His team is very kind and operate with high administrative efficiency (the best I've seen in a medical practice). They make every visit enjoyable and I look forward to seeing them when I go in. Beautiful office and great location. I highly recommend this practice.

Each visit has been a consistently safe and affirming experience. Dr. Sivstov has never made me feel like a number or as though there wasn’t space to talk about what was actually going on in my life. I walk out feeling genuinely listened to every single time and not just heard. There is a difference! I also want to acknowledge the staff (Crystal, Karla, Avery). Ya’ll are amazing and help make each visit comfortable and warm. It’s always a pleasure to see ya’ll!

I’ve had a great experience with Dr. Sistov and Silver Lining Psychiatry. Dr. Sivtsov is thoughtful, calm, and takes the time to listen. The staff is consistently friendly and helpful, and the office environment feels welcoming and supportive. I always leave feeling heard, cared for, and in good hands.
