“Dr Tu was emphatic, kind, and made me feel heard and seen. He explained the psychology behind my anxiety better than my college psych professor haha. Highly highly recommend! ”

“I’ve seen Dr. Tony Tu twice so far and will continue seeing him. He approaches medication management scientifically and with a lot of empathy. He really listens and is so present. I came to him asking for a second opinion because another psychiatrist had recommended I switch medications. He ordered me a pharmacological gene test first to be data driven in the decision and the results came back that if I had switched to the previously recommended medication, my body would not have tolerated it well. I’m so grateful already for his help and will continue to see him. He breaks things down and really explains the science behind everything”

Tony is absolutely great! He’s very knowledgeable and patient. I love how he combines therapy together with medication management. He would get to know you and give you a diagnosis and detailed explanation. He made you feel safe, listened to, and trust worthy.

I really enjoyed meeting and talking with Dr. Tu. He is super knowledgeable and has a clear passion for mental health and learning about the brain. I loved that he explained scientifically how our brains work in a way that was easy to understand. He took the time to learn about me and my “story.” I am excited to continue to work with him!
