WELCOME

I am Dr. Michael Quach. I am a Stanford-trained, board-certified psychiatrist and neuroscientist with over 20 years experience working with professional and executive men who seek better mood stability, emotional balance, or simply more joy and meaning in their lives. I am fluently bilingual in English and Vietnamese. 

I created Concierge Psychiatry For Men around a singular truth: your mind is your greatest asset, and when you are ready to prioritize your mental health, waiting weeks for an appointment is simply not an option. Your time is valuable, your privacy is absolute, and your peace of mind deserves immediate, uncompromised attention. I deliver high quality psychiatric care and therapy tailored entirely to your demanding schedule. 

With same-day and next-day priority availability, I ensure that when you are ready to invest in yourself, access is direct, discreet, and immediate. Because without peace of mind, success means nothing; and true peak performance begins from within. 

I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and assessments, effective psychopharmacology (medication management) and integrative and holistic psychotherapy. My exclusive focus on men's emotional and psychiatric disorders has allowed me to gain invaluable insight in the field of men's mental health. I understand the complex biological, psychological, social, emotional, and cultural issues affecting men today. 

Whether you are looking for a safe space to "get things off your chest" or contemplating taking a psychiatric medication, I am here to help. 

Care Options & Concierge Services

To best fit your schedule, privacy needs, and lifestyle, care is offered through flexible modalities:

• In-Office Care: Confidential, one-on-one appointments at my Willow Glen practice in San Jose.

• Concierge Home Visits: For maximum convenience and privacy, I offer on-site concierge care; bringing comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, psychotherapy, and medication management directly to your home or private workplace.

• Telehealth: Secure, confidential video appointments available throughout California. Once we've had a chance to meet face-to-face (in person) a couple times, we can switch to the telehealth option. I'd prefer seeing you in person at the beginning for the purpose of building rapport and trust. 

I look forward to meeting you soon!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do you take insurance?

A: I do not participate in any insurance plans and am considered out-of-network. However, I am able to provide Superbills after each appointment with the appropriate billing/diagnosis codes.  This can be submitted to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

Q: Are there forms I have to fill out prior to my visit?

A: No. When you arrive to your first appointment, I will ask you to complete some forms, including patient information, office policies and consent to treatment.

Q: What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?

A: A psychiatrist is a medical doctor, like myself, who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. As a psychiatrist, I can prescribe medication and provide psychotherapy. A psychologist is a mental health professional who does not have a medical degree, but can provide psychotherapy and other forms of therapy.

Q: Do I need both psychotherapy and psychiatry?

A: It depends on your individual needs. Some people only need psychotherapy, while others need both medication and psychotherapy. Psychotherapy can help you understand your thoughts and feelings, and develop coping mechanisms. Medication can help to reduce symptoms of mental illness.

Q: If I see a psychiatrist, will I have to take medication?

A: Not necessarily. The decision of whether or not to take medication is up to you. There are many different types of mental illnesses, and each person responds differently to treatment. Some people need medication, while others do not.

Q: Will I be on medication forever?

A: Not necessarily. The length of time you take medication will depend on your individual needs. Some people only need medication for a short period of time, while others need to take it for a longer period of time.

Q: What types of conditions can psychiatric medication help with?

A: Psychiatric medication can help with a wide range of mental illnesses and psychiatric symptoms, including depression, anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, nightmares, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and other psychotic disorders. Medication can also help with some behavioral problems, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and conduct disorder.

Q: What if medication doesn't help or if I don't like the side effects?

A: If medication doesn't help or if you don't like the side effects, talk to me. There are many different types of medication available, and I can help you find one that is right for you.
