“Dr. Saakyan was a delight to meet! He was very patient with me by answering all of my questions and concerns in such a respectful and caring way. I am very picky with the doctors I choose for my mental health care and I am so happy my close friend referred me to him for my depression symptoms. The plan he created for me was so thoughtful and I can tell it’s not a one size it’s all rule book he follows for his patients. Highly rec!! ”

Getting to know Dr. Artur Saakyan
Dr. Artur Saakyan is the psychiatrist behind Breakthrough TMS. Patients tend to describe him as easy to talk to and genuinely interested in what they have to say — qualities that matter in a field where appointments often feel rushed.
His path into this work began with neuroscience, which he studied as an undergraduate at USC before earning his medical degree at Ross University School of Medicine in 2017. He completed his psychiatry residency through the UCLA-Kern program in 2022, training across the full range of psychiatric care: inpatient hospitalization, emergency psychiatry, crisis stabilization, county outpatient clinics, and child and adolescent psychiatry. He has been licensed to practice medicine in California since 2020.
That breadth matters at a TMS clinic. By the time most patients arrive, they have already tried medications, therapy, or both, and they are looking for something different. Dr. Saakyan has worked with patients at every stage of that path — from a first depressive episode to long, complex treatment histories — and he brings that perspective to every consultation.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Breakthrough TMS specializes in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive, non-sedating treatment delivered in-office over a series of short sessions. We also offer psychiatric medication management for patients who want ongoing care in one place.
Please note: we do not prescribe or refill controlled substances at evaluation visits.
