Well from what I heard it is currently available in very few places in the US that you have to travel to get it, so there would be few experiences to note so far in the psychiatric circles. And its generally performed by a small group who is familiar with it.

In addition, it is quite expensive and generally not covered by insurance companies.
Here's what Dr. Phelps (a pdoc in Oregon) writes on his website:
