“Dr. Lyu is a phenomenal doctor. Unlike many in-network psychiatrists, he is genuinely interested in symptoms, general well-being, and impact(s) of medication(s).”

“I first found Dr. Lyu out of the need to get my meds refilled after a move from NY. I thought it would likely be a one time thing but he had such a kind nature that I continued seeing him. A year and some change later, I feel better than I ever have.”
