I was nervous when first meeting with Shanda because it was my first psychiatry experience, but she put me at ease with her professional and straightforward manner. She's very good at listening to issues and lifestyle/schedules in order to give helpful recommendations. I especially appreciate that she takes a gradual, honest approach to prescribing medication instead of pushing pills or high doses too soon. Shanda checks in consistently to adjust recommendations until they are the right fit for my goals.

Just had an intake with Shanda Hwang, and she was great. She was patient, calm, and an attentive listener. I felt like she cared about me and the big picture of my mental/physical health. There was no rushing through the details of my history. I told her that I was nervous about medication because of my past experiences, and she took the time to explain to me how the different medications work and what they might look like in my life. And even then she suggested a really conservative approach where we would wait and see for a couple of weeks.
What's more is that she was able to put me at ease and clearly communicate all this information over a video session. I was a little nervous when I found out our appointment would be a teleappointment, since I don't really like to talk on the phone or skype too much. But honestly, it was fine. She has the right personality for it, and I didn't feel like anything was lost even though we are planning to meet in person the next time.
After looking for a while and encountering so many less than amazing providers, I am so relieved and excited to have found Shanda Hwang, and at least so far, I totally recommend her to anyone.

I waited about a month for this appointment. Initially, it was supposed to be an in-person consultation. However, few weeks after, I got an email saying that it has to be a video call/conference instead. She asked me generic questions. No empathy. The video call only lasted 30 minutes (when we were scheduled for 1 hour). She ended up just giving me referrals to other therapists. Waste of time.

She listened carefully and thoughtfully considered my previous history before prescribing. She also helped me understand all of my mental healthcare options, which was great for someone who hasn't seen many professionals in this field in the past.

Shanda was incredibly kind and thoughtful. I've never had a clinician be so thorough; we spoke for an entire hour and she listened very carefully to my medical history, taking extensive notes. She did not hastily push a prescription at me as some doctors do--she was very deliberate and thoughtful about suggesting a potential course of treatment. I look forward to seeing her again!

It was my first time seeking help with therapy and I feel blessed to have come across such an attentive and caring soul. I highly recommend Shanda Hwang!
More than 1 year agoYerim L.Verified patient
It was my first visit, more of an intake session, and a plan for how to proceed, but I feel really good about my choice in Shanda Hwang. Attentive and detailed, she trusted me to report to her my symptoms accurately, made me feel like I had come to the right place for treatment.
More than 1 year agoMichelle S.Verified patient
Shanda Hwang has been one of the most insightful healthcare professionals that I've worked with. I told her my concerns about past therapies that I've tried and she was able to map out my current and future therapy that we both agreed on. I felt comfortable, never felt judged, and I look forward to my next appointment.
On a side note, I was hesitant to go to this practice due to negative reviews about their billing department on Yelp. Only time will tell. This side note should not be a reflection on Shanda Hwang herself as the billing is not in her jurisdiction.

Was running late, and they were very accommodating and understanding. Shanda really listened to my concerns and I had an overall great experience.

I have had 15 years of experience with therapists/psychiatrists, ect. so my expectations are extremely high. I did not like that she was not an MD, so I was only going to go to her once for a refill, but she was so great- actually better than most psychiatrists so I became a regular. She does counseling as well, so I HIGHLY recommend.
