How will psychiatric consultations benefit you?

99% of my psychiatric patients become SIGNIFICANTLY well within 6 weeks, after finding the “right” medicine that matches their brain-body system.

This implies that you need to go through a trial-and-error process of finding the “right medicine” just for you. 

  • The “right medicine” you choose should NOT make you experience any physical, mental, or emotional side effects. 
  • The “right medicine” you choose should get you SIGNIFICANTLY WELL within 6 weeks (1 1/2 months). 

How frequent should psychiatric consultations be done?

Monthly sessions are sufficient. Then, the frequency of sessions gets less as you continue to recover over time.

Actually, my goal is to get you fully well as soon as possible to the point that you won’t need psychiatric consultations anymore. 

What information do you need to tell me at the beginning of our first psychiatric consultation?

  • Your urgent reason for consulting me.
  • The current symptoms you experience that urgently made you decide to consult me.
  • The psychiatric medications/dosages/brands you are currently taking.
  • The psychiatric medications that had previously been prescribed and the reason why they were discontinued.
  • When you first experienced your psychiatric symptoms, and its triggers. 

What are your credentials in psychiatry?

I’ve had around 30 years of experience as a psychiatrist, successfully helping tens of thousands of patients manage and overcome their psychiatric disorders so that they can live happy, productive, successful, and meaningful lives.

I had 4 years of psychiatric residency training at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center and 1 year of psychiatric residency training at the Makati Medical Center.

To date, I am the most awarded psychiatric resident in the history of the Philippine Psychiatric Association (PPA) having won in 3 of its major case presentation/research competitions.

I am also the pioneer of Wholistic and Integrative Psychiatry in the Philippines.
