Is This For You?

You Might Be Our Ideal Patient If...

We specialize in complex cases where something has been missed. Sound familiar?

Tried Multiple Medications

You've been on 2-3+ antidepressants or anxiety medications without lasting improvement. Something is being missed.

Exhausted Despite Sleep

You sleep 8+ hours but wake up drained. Your doctor says your labs are 'normal' but you know something's wrong.

Brain Fog & Focus Issues

Concentration problems, memory issues, mental sluggishness—and you're wondering if it's ADHD or something else entirely.

Anxiety That Won't Quit

Racing heart, constant worry, physical tension—but standard anxiety treatment hasn't addressed the root cause.

The Diagnostic Psychiatry Method

How We Find What Others Miss

ICU-level diagnostic rigor applied to psychiatric care. Systematic investigation, not guesswork.

01

Comprehensive Investigation

75-90 minute initial evaluation exploring your complete medical and psychiatric history. We look at what others have missed.

3x

longer than typical psych visits

02

Medical Workup

Targeted lab panels checking thyroid, iron, vitamins, hormones, and inflammatory markers. We find the 'why' behind your symptoms.

body systems evaluated

03

Root Cause Treatment

Treatment addresses actual causes—whether medical, psychiatric, or both. No more guessing with trial-and-error medications.

After 19 years across 7+ ICU specialties at Cedars-Sinai and USC Keck, I developed the Diagnostic Psychiatry methodology—bringing ICU-level investigation to mental health care. When patients aren't getting better, I don't just add another medication. I ask: what is everyone else missing?
