About Dr. Tang:

stethoscope

Born in Vietnam, I came to this country when I was five years old. I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and I attended college at the University of Arizona. I spent 4 years there and graduated magna cum laude with a B.A. in philosophy.

After my philosophy degree, I spent the next 2 years pursuing my Master of Public Health degree (M.P.H.)  This degree is based on a philosophy of health education, health promotion, and disease prevention, to improve the quality of life of individuals, families and communities. 

After receiving my Master of Public Health degree, I spent my final 4 years at the University of Arizona and graduated from medical school. I came to University of California, Irvine, after medical school for my 4 years of general adult psychiatry training.

People often ask me why I decided to become a psychiatrist. In psychiatry, the various conditions not only affect one's outlook of life, but often they have a negative impact on the way a person thinks and behaves. It can change one’s personality. For example, someone who once was happy, social and energetic can become depressed, irritable, and anxious as a result of a psychiatric condition.

I believe our personality is what makes us very unique. It is a great feeling of accomplishment for me when I can help patients regain their quality of life back. I am humbled that patients are willing to share their stories with me, for no two stories are ever the same.
