Our story begins with a child born with a developmental delay and at age 7 an ADHD diagnosis through the school Psychologist. It was news my husband and I were expecting, but still a harsh reality. In the beginning we were against medication, but then realized that it can be helpful. The Pediatrician referred us to a few specialists, but upon seeing Dr. Tzuang's website and seeing that he was open to list his impressive work for all to see, I felt comfortable to contact him. By this time, my son had seen a few in-network doctors that prescribed medication in the form of pills when we specifically told them that our son will not swallow medication. And, a therapist that did not have any ADHD experience or knowledge, but did mention that his friend is a doctor that specializes in ADHD. Big, big mistake! Talk about frustrated. My initial call to Dr. Tzuang on Monday, January 12th, 2015 was leaving a message to set up an appointment. Expecting to receive a call back from a Receptionist, I was shocked to get an immediate call back from Dr. Tzuang himself as he was about to board a flight. I'm sorry, but a direct call from a doctor works for me. I couldn't believe the appointment was for Thursday, January 22nd, 2015. Not a 30-day wait or one year wait. I was overwhelmed. I cried after the phone call. Dr. Tzuang cared enough to reach out to me, a mother who only wants hope for her son's future. My husband and I understand that there is no cure or miracle medication for our son, but we just needed a doctor who will listen, have the expertise and knowledge. That doctor we dreamed of for our son is Dr. Tzuang. Our son is on the Daytrana Patch and recently prescribed an anti-anxiety medication in the form of a liquid. I am not his patient, however he is always quick to respond to my emails or phone calls. Dr. Tzuang takes the time to answer my questions or willing to provide reassuring advice. And for us, that's everything. read more

My son has been seeing Dr. Tzuang for close to two years and I can't say enough about him! It's very hard to find a psychiatrist who is well-trained, kind and accessible. Dr. Tzuang is all of these things and more. He is very well-trained and up-to-date on medications and news in his field. His personality is very gentle, soft-spoken and non-threatening. My son really likes him and feels very comfortable talking to him about personal issues. Dr. Tzuang's office is a safe haven for him. My son has been on several medications over the years for anxiety, OCD and ADHD. We really became averse to meds because of a track record of troubling side effects. Dr. Tzuang has been very patient in getting my son back on a medication that is now really helping him with minimal side effects. Getting on the right medication can be a difficult process, but I always felt that Dr. Tzuang was available to us, willing to see us through the problematic phases and always wanted the best for my son. Dr. Tzuang does not have an administrative assistant and I have had no problem with this. He has always responded very quickly to my emails, phone calls and requests for prescription refills. His prices are comparable to other psychiatrists in the area, and I know that if he had an administrative assistant, his prices would have to be higher. read more

Dr. Tzuang was recommended to me by my own psycharist to treat my son. Even though he was endorsed by a physician I have worked with for 10 years I still vetted him to confirm that he was as qualified as stated since he would be treating my child. His extensive education, Double Board Certification, and also receiving his medical degree from Stanford which is one of the top medical schools in the country was certainly a plus. An impressive resume does not always deliver an impressive physician. That is not the case with Dr. Tzuang. He is ethical, honest, caring, deliberate and truly interested in providing the best care possible. He does not treat recklessly and takes the time to listen and digest symptoms before prescribing medication. My son is happy, healthy and his mental status is remarkably stable. As parents we entrusted Dr. Tzuang with the responsibility of handling the delicate balance in diagnosing and maintaining our son's mental health. He did a superior job! I have recommended him to many friends and I am not an easy sell. He is highly regarded among his peers and now highly regarded by me and my family. You would be lucky to be treated by such a great doctor. read more

We started seeing Dr. Dan over a year ago for our DS 7 who struggles with ADHD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and adoption attachment issues. There are so many things I like about Dr. Dan, but I have appreciated his calm and thoughtful approach to helping our son. He has advised us about treatment, school choices, worked in tandem with our pediatrician and psychologist for a comprehensive plan for helping our boy, and he has been a fantastic listener. On more than one occasion I've gone to the psychologist and our pediatrician to learn they had just exchanged messages with Dr. Dan and vise versa, proactively keeping each other 'in the loop' with his therapy and medication (and without my having to be the go-between!) I was apprehensive medicating my young child, but Dr. Dan has been very conservative in how he medicates, starting slowly and then increasing or decreasing. On a couple of occasions I have had questions about medication or concerns, and he is prompt to respond and put my concerns at ease. Since my son can occasionally have violent outbursts, it has been nice having a calm, collaborative and responsive person on our "team" to help us along this journey. read more

Dr. Tzuang has played a significant role in my daughters health, and stabilizing her anxiety. I was a little hesitant to take my 15 year old to a psychiatrist and walked into his office with apprehension, even though he came highly recommended by her therapist. Dr. Tzuang made us feel at ease and comfortable right away. His office setting is a very clean, comfortable, relaxed and safe environment to be in. Dr. Tzuang really cares about his patients. He always gives his undivided attention, spends time talking about your feelings and what has been going on in your life, helps in finding solutions to any issues, worries or concerns, and of course talks about medication. He gives that extra personal attention and is never preoccupied or in a hurry, which is so nice in todays crazy and busy world. Dr. Tzuang's combination of remarkable eduction, years of experience in field, great communication skills, warmth, kindness, organization, determination to help, and COMPLETE professionalism make him an excellent psychiatrist. I trust him completely with my child and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a psychiatrist. read more

My teen-age daughter has seen many psychiatrists and psychologists over the years, and Dr. Tzuang is among the best. He is thorough, patient and thoughtful. He's extremely accessible and willing to help us on short notice when we encounter problems with the pharmacist or run into other difficulties. I, frankly, appreciate the fact that he doesn't have a receptionist, bustling lobby or layers of staff. I don't need reminder cards or phone calls to let me know I have an appointment. I keep my own calendar for all of my daughter's appointments and rarely run into any problems, and I think most adults would say the same thing. Email communication and invoices work great for me and are much more efficient than what I've experienced in larger, often-chaotic medical offices plagued by poor communication, ineffective staff and doctors juggling excessive workloads. I am so appreciative of the quality care my daughter receives from Dr. Tzuang. He is an excellent physician who listens to his patients, clearly has exceptional expertise and provides superior customer service. read more

I was referred to Dr. Tzuang from a trusted source and he lived up to all of the praise the other professional heaped on him. From the start Dr. Tzuang was responsive to my initial call and every subsequent email. It was extremely refreshing to be able to communicate directly with the doctor verse office staff or answering services. It was very comforting to be able to to share very openly with someone who genuinely seem to care about helping find the proper diagnosis and treatment. I did not feel rushed or pressured in anyway as Dr. Tzuang took his time to explain his rationale and all of the available options for treatment and medications. Dr. Tzuang is a unique combination of someone who is obviously very intelligent and well trained but also is very personable. I think Dr. Tzuang is someone that anyone seeking quality psychiatric care would be lucky to have their side and I am very grateful that I was referred to him and that he is my corner. Sincere Thanks to Dr. Tzuang! read more

Our son had been battling depression for a few years before we were referred to Dr. Tzuang last year. Over the past year, under Dr. Tzuang's care,our son has thrived. He has learned coping and communication skills that have not only helped him currently, but will help him in the future in any situation. He has restored my son's self confidence and encouraged him to try new things. Our son's successes are a direct result of Dr. Tzuang's practice. As a parent, I have been overwhelmed at the support and guidance that Dr. Tzuang has provided. I love that he sits down with me each session as well. His treatment plan for our son is discussed with us and it is very clear that he really cares about the entire family. We are blessed to have found Dr. Tzuang. The ease of scheduling appointments and the response time is absolutely amazing as well. We can't begin to repay Dr. Tzuang for giving our son a new perspective on life. We will be forever grateful!!! Thank you so much!! read more

Dr. Dan Tzuang is a blessing to me (a patient), and our community of patients. Although his credentials and experience are vast, it is his patient care that really sets him above and beyond. He makes the patient feel included in the treatment, rather than just being treated. In short, he provides his patients a partner with solutions. He is rarity among psychiatrists, because really listens to a patient, and discusses with a patient before finally deciding upon a treatment. His excellent follow-up care, monitoring, and responding to patients further prove his devotion. I was a complicated and serious case that other professionals could not crack. Many others would have given up, and my family was struggling to find me help. I'm so lucky to have found Dr. Tzuang when I did, and am deeply grateful for his dedication to restoring my health. He has treated me so well that I feel like I have a doctor in the family - and a professional watching my back. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Tzuang for nearly 2 years and he has been nothing short of a miracle for me. I came to him with a long history of anxiety/panic attacks, depression and uncontrollable OCD. He has helped me to get all of these under control and as a result I have been able to reach my true potential at work, with family and friends and in turn this has made a more happy and positive person. Dr. Tzuang is an extremely intelligent physician who never ceases to surprise me when it comes to his knowledge of medicine and how the mind and body reacts to certain treatment. I sincerely recommend Dr. Tzuang to anyone in need of help. It is also very easy to reach him. Whether it be by email or phone he always responds in a very timely manner. This is great for me especially since I am a child of the 21st century. I have never had a physician who is so easily accessible. If your in the neighborhood for a psychiatrist I highly recommend Dr. Tzuang. read more

I am beyond grateful I found Dr. Tzuang to treat my teen daughter. She has suffered her entire life with mental illness. She's been treated by countless doctors, hospitals & mental health professionals since she was very young with little to no help until another psychiatrist recommended Dr. Tzuang to me. Thanks to his vast knowledge of psychiatry, mental health treatments & current psychiatric research, my daughter has finally been stabilized for the first time in her life. In addition to Dr. Tzuang's expertise in this field, he's very personable, informative & easy to talk to (for my teenager as well as myself). I've been so impressed by how he's always accessible to me & responds by email or phone promptly (usually immediately) every time I contact him- even on the weekends! I recommend Dr. Tzuang to anyone suffering & in need of a psychiatrist. He's been invaluable to my family. read more

I've been with Dr. Tzuang going on 4 years now and I've had a very positive experience. He has provided a safe and secure environment for my treatment. I highly recommend his services. Dr. Tzuang has a strict cancellation policy which requires notification when an appointment cannot be made. Having experienced missing more than one appointment over the course of my treatment, it smarts to pay for a service where I did not received any direct benefit. However, time is money and there is value to the scheduled appointment. I understand the need for having such a policy to ensure accountability and allow others to fill a vacated time slot. Dr. Tzuang has always accommodated schedule changes when I have given him a day's notice and has also made special arrangements to reschedule a makeup appointment when I missed a scheduled time. read more

Dr. Tzuang has, and continues provides excellent medical advice, care & treatment, and support for my wife over the past several years. He is compassionate and caring psychiatrists with a logical and practical approach to his advice and treatment. As other have written, Dr. Tzuang is gentleman of honesty, and integrity. Dr. Tzuang exemplifies the best in psychiatry, which is a challenging area of healthcare that requires expertise in neurology, internal medicine, and deductive reasoning. His willingness to work my wife, to listen and consider my concerns and suggestions is exactly what I look for in doctor. I and my wife value Dr. Tzuang continued support, and we greatly appreciate it! Me: Professional employed at UC, Irvine as a Computer Program Analysis and volunteer for UC, Irvine. read more

My psychiatrist cousin referred my teenage son to see Dr. Tzuang for his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He was under Dr. Tzuang's care for 2 years, Dr. Tzuang was very patient and calm to help my son find the right medication and gradually adjusted to the most effective dosage. My son felt very comfortable and encouraged every time he saw Dr. Tzuang. With the treatment, he was able to control his condition and finally got accepted into university. Dr. Tzuang was so kind and care for his patient that he helped my son to transit his care to the university team of psychiatrist and psychologist. Currently, my son is the 3rd year university student, and he still keeps in touch with Dr. Tzuang. Dr. Tzuang is a caring and enthusiastic psychiatrist, and I would highly recommend him. read more

We are very grateful for Dr. Tzuang's superb knowledge on medicine, excellent treatment, and most of all, his sincere concern for those in need of his care. As a mother who was desperately looking for the best help for the child, I can not express how much I am thankful to see my child doing well, very well. Dr. Tzuang's accurate treatment plan, and seeing how it works every single step throughout the treatment, there is no word, but just thankful. You can count on his care 24/7, not only during the session time, but he will be in contact to your concern, problems, and urgent moments that you may not expect but in need of his guidance; he will be right there, responding back to your calls, emails, etc. right away to address the issue in right direction without any delays. read more

After undergoing extensive ADD testing for our then 14 year old son, we were referred to Dr. Tzuang. The doctor who administered the testing understood our hesitation to medicate our son and referred us to Dan based his expertise and understanding of the chemical properties of these drugs. She assured us he was the doctor she would take her own children to if needed. That was all I needed to hear. The ADD diagnosis and subsequent prescription made a major positive impact on our son. Additional challenges with anxiety and depression have also been addressed over the past 2 years and Dan has shared many of his own life experiences to help my son navigate his path. He is also very responsive and replies promptly to emails or calls, often within hours the same day. read more

Dr. Tzuang has been kind gentle and deeply understanding of our situation. His compassion for our child and comprehension of the condition has been unparalleled. He has been outstanding in offering non prescription drug solutions where possibe, and for us that is very positive. Too often doctors, even for teens and young adults, are too quick to write a scrip rather than take the time to find the root of the issue and work from there. We are very thankful we were referred to him and over the past year we have seen great improvement in the ability to positively move from one day to the next. If you are looking for a great psychiatrist he is certainly worth the time and cost. We drive quite a distance in order to continue care and feel it is worth the sacrifice. read more

Dr. Tzuang has been my life line. Knowing that I have him as support, makes working with depression more manageable. I trust him and his vast knowledge on medication. I trust that I can get in touch with him when I need to. Even with a busy schedule, he finds a way to connect. Having that connection has been priceless. He genuinely CARES about his patients. He always has your interests first. In addition to his expertise, he is a superb listener and is extremely easy to talk to. Where I otherwise may dance around a subject, Dr. Tzuang's non-judging demeanor allows topics to be discussed comfortably. I honestly cannot express in words here how Dr. Tzuang has changed my life. I have been to many docs before to compare him to but really, none come close. read more

Dr. Tzuang was referred to us by two different therapists to help our daughter with her phobia and anxiety issues. He was so understanding during our first visit and even sat with us in the waiting room because my daughter did not want to go into his office. He was able to get through to her during her first session, so the next visit was a success. As parents, we appreciated his very conservative approach to prescribing the right medication for our daughter. He also worked closely with my daughter's therapist and I always felt that he was very aware of her progress during our visits. He truly cares about his patients. We continue to see him every few months as he continues to monitor our daughter's medication and progress. Thank you, Dr. Tzuang! read more
