Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I really enjoyed my first session with Dao. She made me feel comfortable and heard right away and I felt she was insightful."

─ R. P.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I have never felt so heard and understood by a psychiatrist before. I felt like Dr. Nguyen genuinely cared about me, she asked great questions, gave me examples and asked how those apply/resonate with me. I really want to recognize her for her compassion and care."

─ I. D.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Really enjoyed my experience with Dao! She validated my feelings and I felt she was truly listened me to while I was speaking. I am really looking forward to my next appointment with her and the convenience of Lavender was phenomenal."

─ U. P.


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“The first appointment felt appropriately interactive, and I very much felt like I was being heard, listened to, responded to, and understood. Discussion of multiple psychiatric medication options and their pros/cons was greatly appreciated. Also, first time I've had someone who was unsure how to pronounce my name just ask, rather than forge ahead uncertainly, and it's a little thing but I really appreciated that."

─ L. O.


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Very easy to talk to, had insight into new medications, willing to reach out to other team members since she didn't have knowledge of the the disorder (PPPD) I am dealing with on top of my depression/anxiety."
