Menlo Park Psychiatry & Sleep Medicine, Alex Dimitriu, M.D.

Our dad has been seeing Dr Alex (as we call him) for many years. He is very approachable, thorough, and is always a call, text, or email away and returns them very promptly. When dad was in the hospital at Stanford last year, Dr Alex made it a point to check in on him while there and after he returned home. He truly cares about his patients. There was a point where we and dad were losing hope, but Dr Alex never did. He encouraged and listened not only to dad, but the rest of us too, which is not easy since we are a large, stubborn Italian family. Though it has been a long road, several trial and errors with meds and such, we are starting to see our old dad back which is the best Xmas present ever! Thank you Dr Alex!!

I spoke with Dr. Palak Kothari, a psychologist, in 2022. I have bipolar disorder and was suffering from insomnia. She told me that the treatment she recommends called CBT for Insomnia, is contraindicated. She referred me to Dr. Dimitriu, a well known doctor who is very arrogant and a jerk. He had his Harvard trained doctor do a consult and recommended avoiding the same CBT for Insomnia therapy. I did medical research on my own and found out that both doctors lied to me. They should lose their licenses! Dr. Dimitriu did nothing to rectify the situation. I have since hired other psychologists who have given me correct advice. I strongly recommend avoiding this clinic!

I highly recommend Dr. Maliuanag. We went to see Dr. Maliuanag last year when my daughter was in crisis mode. With his expert guidance and compassionate support, she stabilized in a few months - a turnaround we were not sure was possible at that time. He is knowledgeable, responsive and kind. He took the time to listen and explain treatment options clearly. His advice were practical and spot on. Our family is deeply grateful to Dr. Maliuanag for his care and the expertise he brought to my daughter's treatment.

I have been seeing Dr. Dimitriu for the past 6 months and he is one of the best, kindest and most compassionate doctor I have ever met. He is also very knowledgeable in his area of practice. He actively listens and helps create a treatment plan with you. He encouraged me to take therapy and medication that I desperately needed at that time. I can say that my quality of life has significantly improved thanks to his guidance. I highly recommend this office for anyone in need of psychiatric help as well as in their sleep problems. Thank you, Dr. Alex! You have helped me immensely and I will be eternally grateful.

Dr. Alex is a fantastic physician. He is very caring and thorough. He is compassionate and was able to help me finally fix my sleep. I literally have never felt so rested. His entire team was extremely helpful. I was able to make an appointment the same week I called. My follow up appointment was just as easy. If you have a sleep problem and is looking for a friendly and caring physician, I would highly recommend Dr. Alex!
