About Dr. Simran Singh

I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist, graduated from Stanford in 2000. I have been in practice for 17 years and my areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and psychosis.

I believe in Integrated Psychiatry – a seamless transition between our appointments and your existing providers. I have worked extensively in Primary Care settings for over 15 years to guide psychiatric care for patients through primary care physicians. Every condition has a physical and mental process and integrating both is essential for recovery. Stressors that create imbalance must also be assessed and treated.

I have a special interest in physician well being and have treated physicians in distress for over 16 years with great success. I have working relationships with committees at Stanford, El Camino Hospital and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. Stress affects everyone, including physicians; if you are a physician in distress, please consider help.

I am also particularly interested is working with individuals who relocate to California to join high-tech companies and feel distress. With my MBA, I understand the pressures of business and performance and seek to provide relief by working with you as a team.

Psychiatry is a science and an art. If you and your psychiatrist connect, you can achieve greater success in a shorter amount of time.

We are now seeing more and more physicians seek help for stress. It is anticipated that we lose 400 physicians per year to suicide. Physicians are sensitive, conscientious and do not like asking for help. If you are a physician in distress regarding your family, career or economics, please ask for help as it is a very treatable stress.

My MBA taught me a lot about business and its culture, demands and productivity. Technology brings its own stressors that create anxiety and depression, sometimes even psychosis. Reaching out to a psychiatrist who understands this world can create a seamless transition into you needs.

The population in California is diverse. It creates a new need for your psychiatrist to understand your culture and not call it a disease process. I have extensive experience in treating Asian and Hispanic populations, having lived in the area for over 25 years.

With insurance-driven models, psychiatrists must see a high volume of patients. This means that appointments are often short and doctors aren’t easily accessible between appointments. As a concierge psychiatrist, I have fewer patients and more time for you. I am available to answer emails and phone calls, and my hours are flexible.

Insurance-driven models often split care between multiple providers, and the role of the psychiatrist becomes simply to prescribe medicine. I believe in a holistic approach and will tailor your care to you. I can provide therapy in addition to medication management, and will look at alternate options to ensure we find the best treatment for you.
