I'm beyond grateful that I was referred to Dr. Daniel Suzuki by the late Dr. Christian Rutland who…read morewas the Dr. that had saved my life back in 2016. I had endured an 18 month long severe and treatment resistant case of mental illness that nearly claimed my life. His sudden passing was a very traumatic experience for me as I had grown very attached and felt lost at sea without a raft as I will still psychologically recovering in the aftermath of this crippling and dangerous disease of the brain and mind. Dr. Suzuki came as such a relief during a time I felt so bereft as I was still so traumatized and lost my savior. If you're needing a Psychiatrist who is very knowledgeable, compassionate and quickly gives away his genuine interest in his patients by the questions he asks that are simultaneously specific, direct and also presents with genuine curiosity (it's the curiosity part that lets me know that he really cares) which helps build real rapport and a connection that makes you feel like he is also your friend, you Will suddenly feel you are in the best of hands then Dr. Suzuki will be the perfect fit for you. I always know without a doubt that when I need to reach him, he will be getting back to me promptly and he is most generous with his time during these calls as well. They never feel rushed. As I had grown to love, admire and respect Dr. Christian Rutland I can say the same for Dr. Daniel Suzuki too. His warmth and humanness is also so refreshing and adds to the one disclaimer I will make, you too will grow attached. One last disclaimer is you'll wish you could spend 90 mins with him as the 30-35 standard appointment time is so comforting and pleasant that it goes by in a flash!!!!

I am 67 years old. Seven years ago I tried to commit suicide, but my wife called medics in time to…read moresave my life. Unfortunately, I had previously been of the opinion that I didn't need professional help because I could work things out on my own as I was highly educated, well-travelled and I mistakenly had an exaggerated understanding of my ability to understand myself and my problems. Six years after the suicide attempt, I became very depressed and decided it was either find competent help, or I would be back on the road to suicide. Within a relatively short time, Dr. Miklusak helped me recognize that I had repressed memories about my abusive father and weak mother for over 60 years. If someone had told me that they had repressed such crucial and grave memories, I would have doubted his or her sincerity. The realization of these many childhood experiences and Dr. Miklusak's expert guidance have completely changed by outlook and attitude about the potential life has to offer me. Of course, my sessions with Dr. Miklusak are far more complicated than just recognition of repressed memories, but the main point is that Dr. Miklusak's very high competence level and interpersonal skills completely changed my life from a daily experience of deep sadness to now waking up almost every morning excited to live that day. The main reason I had not sought psychiatric help in the past is because I had very little faith in a psychiatrist genuinely being able to help me. Dr. Miklusak proved me completely wrong about that opinion.

Most times he could barely stay awake during our sessions. I didn't realize how much that affected our relationship. As a result, I was stuck in a horrible rut for the many years I was his patient.

Keep your priorities straight when seeking treatment--getting it right is more important than getting along.

Dr Hutton's TMS injured me then he gaslighted me. When I told him my ears wouldn't stop ringing…read moreafter doing 3 sessions of TMS, he said I was offered earplugs which was a LIE. I had to sleep for 2 weeks straight with a towel over my eyes with a horrible headache after quitting TMS. He said transcranial magnetic stimulation couldn't cause tinnitus and hyperacusis but it did for me PERMANENTLY. I've discovered many other people have had those very side effects which are PERMANENT as well. Everybody says Hutton is great but I have PTSD from his TMS now. I cannot do the same work or hobbies I could before I did TMS because my tinnitus and TMS-PTSD is triggered by reverberating noises and loud sounds. My ear always rings which it never did before I was injured by Dr. Hutton's TMS. Even my skin discolored at the site of the probe. One day the fraud that is TMS will come out. Can NOT recommend

Give us your cash, don't ask questions, and you can have whatever pills you want…read more I honestly really liked Dr. Lai at first, but after only a few visits I realized that this office is basically glorified drug dealing for the privileged. The office is CASH ONLY because of bounced checks and fees for credit cards. Every other doctor I see takes credit cards, so they are clearly just being cheap and trying to take as much cash as they can. They charge an absurd amount of money per visit. First visit was $300 and then subsequent visits are $200. You would think they would put some effort into the office with their cash flow, but it's literally an empty office with a desk for the receptionist and one couch. And a bug zapper that goes off while you wait. It is totally empty and creepy. It looks like they could pick up at a moment's notice if they needed to... You can only see her if you get a referral too, making what they are doing even more apparent. The receptionist is obnoxious and racist. She rushes you off the phone and talks to you like you're an idiot. She referred to the recent civil unrest and protests as end times making a joke out of it while talking about her cop boyfriend. She also doesn't think covid is real and did not wear a mask either time I saw her. She misses going to the gym, that she made VERY clear. I honestly let this go because I was finally getting the medication I needed and I did like Dr. Lai. My breaking point: I was unable to make my appointment because I was feeling sick. I called day of to say I wasn't feeling better and wasn't sure if I should come in due to the pandemic. The receptionist threatened to charge me and said nothing about me feeling ill. Finally, Dr. Lai called back. We talked for a few minutes and I let her know everything was working properly. She said she would write a new prescription for me and to make an appointment when I needed it. Perfect! Or so I thought... I got a call a month and a half later from the receptionist saying, "you know your prescription has been sitting up here for over a month" in a very judgmental voice. I didn't know why a piece of paper was effecting her so much. I said I would make an appointment when I needed it, and she replied saying, "well then you are going to be charged $200 twice". That's when I realized Dr. Lai had counted those few minutes as an actual session. I said I was not going to pay for a visit that never happened and that no one told me a 2 minute call qualified as a $200 session. THEN the receptionist threatened to add the missed appointment fee back on!! Dr. Lai would not come to the phone and instead just said, "I made it very clear to her". What the fuck?! I guess she already got $500 from me so she was over it? Then the receptionist threatened to VOID out the prescription if I wasn't going to pay in cash for it. This is how they treat patients. Give us your cash, don't ask questions, and you can have whatever pills you want. I heard a few patients say they would just come in, pay cash, get their prescription, and leave without an actual visit. I called my real doctor and got the prescription I needed in no time. Lesson learned. I am learning more and more about doctors like this taking advantage of people who need things like opioids and controlled substances. Truly deplorable.

I don't like going to doctors, but this year I thought I'd be more proactive about my health. I've…read morebeen careful about going to a psychologist because of horror stories I've heard of medication being irresponsibly pushed to treat problems that are remedied via lifestyle. I'd actually never been to a psychologist or psychiatrist before, so I finally decided to give a visit a try. Dr. Lai listened quite intently, and asked questions that made me feel she cared. She also answered all the questions and concerns I had. Before trying any medication, which I'm glad she didn't push for, she made sure to do tests to see how my health was. I find it weird that they want cash for copay, but it's not really a problem.

I live in the SGV so I was hesitant since Steven is all the way in Fullerton but after our initial intake, I was like ok, this is going to work. Steven just makes you feel so comfortable. He gives you suggestions on books and websites to look at and "homework" but never makes you feel bad for not reading the book or doing the homework. It didnt feel like he was just trying to check things off or write notes but more like this is YOUR session so you lead it how you want it, which I love. We talked about my anxiety and depression and we're still working on it but I always feel at ease and look forward to my sessions. If I'm having issues and it's not time for my appointment I'll just text him and he's able to squeeze me in. With a healthcare worker schedule, it's always changing and he's always so accommodating. I love how we can jump on a zoom session or if I want to go to the office, he makes time. I've cried with him and I never felt like it wasn't ok. I highly recommend Steven, don't be afraid because he makes you feel like that ball of tangled Christmas lights (since it was just Christmas) could be untangled with sessions with Steven.

I had seen various therapists a few years ago for postpartum depression after having my first…read morechild, but had stopped once my symptoms went away. This was long before covid and before tele-visits were available and I literally just didn't have the time to physically go to the therapist's office every week, especially with a baby at home. My office closed back in March 2020 due to covid shut downs. We were suddenly teleworking full time and trying to figure out how to do our jobs fully from home. My then 2 and 3yo toddlers were pulled out of daycare due to fear of them catching covid. Needless to say, things became EXTREMELY chaotic and stressful at home. Trying to juggle being a full time parent with toddlers at home while trying to work a full time job from home has got to be the most challenging thing I've ever done to date. I became very depressed from just being stuck at home all day long with no social interactions besides my husband and kids. Not being able to relieve stress or have any time to relax took a toll and I became more and more unhappy. I got into so many fights with my husband and had so many emotional breakdowns just from pent up stress. I loved being able to watch my kids grow up this past year, but it was definitely not without many breakdowns on my part. I was feeling like such a failure. I confided in a close friend about how I felt earlier this year and she recommended I try out Steven for a free consult. She had gone to high school with him years ago and had started seeing him when she found out he opened up his own private practice last year. I did my research and contacted him for a consult. After our initial encounter, I immediately booked a session. Steven offered televists so I didn't HAVE to drive anywhere, but could if I wanted to since he offered in person as well. With my hectic home/work life, it was so much easier to be able to do televisit. He was so warm, friendly, funny, and seemed so genuine from our initial encounter. I had already done my research and know that he's definitely well qualified in his field. I've been seeing Steven now for about the past 6 months and he's truly lived up to my expectations. Our sessions are always relaxed but productive, he is able to make me feel better especially if I'm already having a bad day. He has given me courage and the tools to understand myself, boost my confidence, and ultimately improved my relationship with my husband and even my toddlers..lol!! Steven is so patient and he truly listens and absorbs everything I tell him. I feel so comfortable talking to him and it makes it so much easier to open up and share my feelings and issues. He doesn't make judgements and is just so easy to talk to. Having been to other therapists in the past, I was able to tell the difference immediately with how Steven approaches his patients. He is way better than the others I had tried in the past. They just didn't seem as warm and caring. I even convinced my husband to start seeing him as well starting next week!! This is a feat in itself since he never really "believed" in getting any kind of "therapy". He's seen the improvement in our relationship and now he's willing to give it a try for his own mental health. It's definitely improved our home dynamics and let's us "resolve" our issues before it snowballs into something bigger. If you've never seen a therapist before, I would highly recommend trying out Steven first. It's worth it!! I've learned that mental health is SOOOO important, especially in this day and age with so much uncertainty and chaos around us.
