Since 2001, I've treated thousands of young and middle-aged professionals and college students who suffer from ADHD, depression and anxiety. My patients are all extremely busy. They don't want to spend countless hours and thousands of dollars on psychotherapy. They're looking for someone who can quickly diagnose their problem and prescribe a treatment plan that will resolve the issue fast.
My office hours are very flexible to accommodate your busy schedule. I normally see new patients within 2-3 days. For existing patients with urgent needs, I can often get you in on short notice for 10-15 minutes during lunch hours or before or after work. I also work with patients virtually.

YourHealthFile(R) Patient Portal provides you with a Personal Health Record (PHR) that allows you to monitor your health records and begin time-consuming paperwork at home or your office, saving everyone's time while improving quality of care. With YourHealthFile(R), you can request and confirm an appointment; pre-register by completing, signing and sending forms to our office; message a staff member, and pay online.
If you find yourself constantly disorganized, late, forgetful and overwhelmed by your daily activities, you may be suffering from ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). More than 16 million American adults have been living with this condition since childhood without realizing it. ADHD affects the prefrontal cortex of the brain, where all of our planning and decision-making functions occur.
We all get anxious from time to time. It's often triggered by stress in our lives. Anxiety becomes a real problem when it causes such distress that it interferes with our ability to lead a normal life. That could be the result of an anxiety disorder. An estimated 18% of American adults or 56 million people suffer from this problem.
All of us feel sad, lonely or depressed at times. It's a normal part of life. But when those feelings become overwhelming and last for long periods of time, it may be a sign of clinical depression. Depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Medication can dramatically relieve your symptoms.
My patients are all busy adults who want someone who can diagnose their problem and prescribe a treatment plan that will resolve their issues fast. There is, however, a lot of negative connotation around quick fixes. There's much more to medication management than simply writing prescriptions. It's an extremely complex process that involves utilizing all of the training, knowledge and experience I have in psychiatry.

The bottom line is that if you actually get in to see Dr. Dzudza, he's a straight forward guy and he'll prescribe what he thinks is best. He is brisk and not one to spend a long time listening. Do I trust him? Yes. Have I trusted other doctors more? Absolutely.
Here's the bad part. After 7 years of bad reviews due mostly to the office staff being rude and incompetent, nothing has changed. It's a #%&*!show. DO NOT GO TO THIS PRACTICE. Dr. Dzudza is a good guy, but the staff is awful to the point of incompetency. For example...

I tried scheduling an appointment and the person on the phone was extremely rude to me. I called because I was in need of a good therapist, and he is the only one I could find that was from my hometown which meant a lot to me. I tried explaining that to the person on the phone, but she just shut me off. I just do not understand who hires such an unprofessional staff in a mental health clinic.

Extremely disappointed. I've tried calling 3 different times (left voice mails each time), and emailed twice. Despite the website saying they are taking new patients and that they can accommodate last minute appointments, no one has reached out to me. It's been over a month.
This is not how someone who works with mental illness should run a practice.

I must disagree with the negative reviews. As someone who works in the mental health field as an MSW, I've really appreciated that Dr. D doesn't beat around the bush and gets to the point. Even while doing so, I feel listened to, treated like an adult who knows themselves the best and invited into decision making about my own care and best interests. If that can be done in a quick amount of time and I feel my life is more manageable because of it, then in my books it works. I think the most important part of seeing any professional is being in the right place in life to not only accept

I specifically created this Yelp account just so I could write a review. I had already been cancelled on by another psychiatrist due to my insurance not being able to cover. I reached out to Dr. Dzudza's office hoping to finally be seen by a doctor. They told me I could come in within the week and I was relieved/excited. I used a PTO day from work so that I could make it to this appointment. I left work and an hour later recieved a call that my appointment had been cancelled. I missed the call and when I tried to return to reschedule I got no answer after I called several times and left

This practice is atrocious! If there was an option for zero stars- I would select it. The receptionist is absolutely unhelpful. I had an appt at 3:30 and couldn't find the location as it's not in a stand alone building. I called at 3:35 trying to find the practice. The receptionist kept me on the line for 6 minutes telling me how to find the location to tell me, once I parked, that they couldn't see me!! She never informed me that I needed to be 10 minutes early but insisted that she had. What an awful experience. One would think hiring a professional and empathetic receptionist

I have seen Dr. D three times so far, and love him! He has helped me immensely in the short amount of time I have been seeing him. I see many complaints here about the brief amount of time he spends with people, but you must remember that he is a Psychiatrist, not a Psychologist. Psychiatrists need basic information to treat you, whereas a Psychologist's job is to spend a longer amount of time listening to your issues in detail. I highly recommend Dr. D!!

Dr. Dzudza seems to be good at prescribing medicine. The anti-depressant he prescribed for me work well. However, he has been at least 15 to 30 minutes late for any appointment I've ever had. Additionally he seems cold and arrogant.
Most recently, I had to travel to Washington State for an indefinite period while my father underwent a massive heart surgery as a bridge to a heart transplant. A very difficult time for my family. Dr. Dzudza was aware of this. I set an appointment for the only day he was available between a business trip and my trip home for the surgery. On the morning of the

I've seen Dr D for about a year.
He always asked he the same questions from a checklist. I've answered them roughly the same every time. When I was upset, I made an appointment with my psychologist.
He is brief, and I can always communicate a concern I have about medication.
When I came across the yelp reviews I felt they were unbalanced. I personally would not feel comfortable using so many negative descriptions about a professional whom I spent 20 minutes with.
I see a lot of assumptions on the earlier reviews, I think CONSISTENCY is important when dealing with my medication

I wish I would have checked here two months ago . Today was my last visit after having to put up with exactly what others have posted . This guy should NOT be a Doctor. He could easly be replaced with a questionnaire web site , and I bet the site would have more of a personality and understanding.
We need a rating for negitive stars this guy does not deserve one ..Help me out Yelp!!

I have seen Dr. Dzudza a few times and will not return.
I saw him because he was in my network, but I have been incredibly disappointed. Much like the other reviews, I have been put off by his callous indifference and his style of questioning. He will ask questions as if by rote ("Have you felt sad lately?"" Have you felt anxious?") but seems to recoil if the answer involves any sort of elaboration other than a yes or no. He then pulls out his pad and prescribes dosages that I have told him cause serious and job-threatening side-effects during past treatments.

I just read a recent review and wish I had checked this site 3 yrs ago. We just got the name from the phone book. He saw my daughter in Sept 07. She had moved from Colorado and was seeking someone to sign a form to keep her on our health insurance. We expected an evaluation, and review of her records from previous providers. Instead, he told her (in essence) that if she could go to school full time and work a part-time job, there was nothing wrong with her. Shortly after that, she quit taking her geodon. We have been living with the consequences of that for two years now.

My experience with Dr. Dzudza was terrible. I went to one appointment and I will not go back.
When I first arrived, there were three women sitting at desks doing the clerical tasks of the office. They were friendly, but appeared to be very disorganized. While I was filling out paper work, they were very loud and discussed other patients' files while I was in the room. It was cold the day that I was there (-7 degrees) and the office was extremely hot - if I had to guess, I would say 85 degrees. I took off my coat, but there was no where to hang it.
Dr. Dzudza was a little late taking
