Nice
Dr. Tau was excellent. He speaks to you in a manner that is thoughtful and intelligent, and focuses on you the patient. I would highly recommend him.
Very professional, courteous and respectful.
Dr. Tau is always very patient, insightful and helpful. He is the first psychiatrist that I have worked with that inspires me to be 100% honest because Dr. Tau does not judge. It feels like Dr. Tau is extremely well-educated and passionate about what he does - in every session Dr. Tau addresses my specific medicinal needs while also enriching the conversation by inquiring and helping me to understand the many different aspects of my life that contribute to "feeling happy"
Dr. Tau is amazing. I have been to many psychiatrists in my life and usually they just stare at you and jot down notes while you talk to them. He actually responds and makes you feel like he actually cares about you as a person instead of just your money. He is realistic, kind, and thoughtful. Meeting him and chatting with him is all the medication I need. he is a wonderful person and makes everyone leave happy. More doctors should be like him. What I also like is he remembers things that you told him months prior, without having to flip through notes. He gets to know you as a person and you are more than just a "case" or a "paycheck". you're a real person. He has really changed my life for the better. HIGHLY recommend.
