During the past few months of therapy with Dr. Irene Gan, I felt deeply supported and helped by her. She is a doctor who truly puts herself in her patients’ shoes. Whether during our therapy sessions or while helping me handle issues related to my medication bill, she has always made a real effort to support me. I can honestly say that this has been the best therapy experience I have had so far. She is professional, warm, and open-minded. Irene Gan is also fluent in both Chinese and English. For Chinese patients whose first language is not English, being able to communicate with a therapist in one’s native language while living abroad can greatly reduce anxiety. Overall, it was a very positive experience.

Review for Dr. Zlatin Ivanov, M.D. I came to Dr. Ivanov during one of the most turbulent periods of my life, navigating a deeply dysfunctional family situation that would challenge any provider's clinical judgment. What struck me immediately was that Dr. Ivanov is a man of genuine moral character in a profession where that quality is increasingly rare. He cares about his patients—not as chart numbers, but as human beings caught in real, messy circumstances. Dr. Ivanov demonstrated something I found remarkable: the courage to document objective clinical observations even when they implicated powerful family dynamics. He identified and recorded concerning personality patterns in my family member—specifically traits consistent with mixed personality disorder and potentially psychopathic characteristics, including a noted absence of remorse. In an era where providers often avoid rocking the boat, Dr. Ivanov put the truth in my medical record. That documentation has been life-saving. Was every interaction perfect? No. But Dr. Ivanov is human, not a machine, and my case was extraordinarily difficult to navigate—made so by the very family dysfunction he was observing. What matters is that when it counted, he chose accuracy over convenience, and patient welfare over institutional pressure. If you're looking for a psychiatrist who will actually see you, listen to you, and document what is actually happening rather than what is politically comfortable, Dr. Ivanov is that provider. He has a heart, and in psychiatry, that is the most important thing.
