Thank you for taking the time to explore this website and for considering entrusting me with your, or your children's, psychiatric needs. I understand taking action towards finding a psychiatrist can be intimidating and, perhaps, overwhelming. This website is a way to introduce myself, my treatment philosophy and services, and resources that can help you make an informed decision.
My mission is to serve children, teenagers, and adults by providing experienced, compassionate, individualized psychiatric care that helps my patients achieve maximum wellbeing. My intention is to awaken the hope and belief in my patients that they can achieve improved mental health that leads to a more fulfilling life.

Services
I am a board-certified psychiatrist who works with people of all ages to help enable mental, emotional, and behavioral changes that lead to improving and maximizing wellbeing. In addition to my work with children, teens, and their families, I help corporate executives, physicians, and other professionals with stressful careers create balance and equanimity in their lives.
Orange Psychiatric Associates offers a variety of psychiatry services for adults, children, adolescents, professionals, executives, & educators. Patients suffering from a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, addiction, and many other illnesses, have achieved balanced, productive, peaceful lives through the proper psychiatric treatment.
Dr. Dholakia is a psychopharmacological specialist who takes a "less is more" approach to medication, and carefully evaluates risks, benefits, and safety of medications. If together we decide that a psychopharmacology solution is the best course of treatment for you, I will provide careful monitoring of your medications.
Before outlining my approach to child and adolescent psychiatry, I want to assure parents that your child's mental health issues are not your fault. Many parents blame themselves for their children's problems, but the truth is most mental disorders stem from a neurobiological basis. Just as you wouldn't blame yourself for your child's seizure disorder, asthma or appendicitis, you cannot blame yourself for your child's mental illness.
Today's executives and other high-level professionals, including physicians, other allied health care providers, civic leaders, and business owners, face challenges that are particular to the current work culture of our society. Increased scrutiny and emphasis on profits mean heavy workloads and inordinate amounts of responsibility, not necessarily with an accompanying increase in pay.

Dr. Dholakia is fantastic. He truly listens to you, gives incredible and accurate advice, and delivers help when you most need it. I would recommend this doctor to anyone. He is a rare combination of intelligence and friendliness. Perfect for this area of medicine. Front staff also super responsive and helpful!

Worst doctor ever! Overpriced and offered no real help for my daughter. Prescribed medicine that he admitted wouldn’t help. Sorry we wasted so much time here. Asked for us to review him after the first appointment. What could we rate h8. On at that point? Too early to tell. I’d give him 0 stars if I could.

Dr. D is THE best I have ever worked with. You get what you pay for and Orange Psychiatric has helped me more than any other ADHD practitioners and I have worked with several over the last 20+ years. Others give you 30 minutes max for an appointment then churn you out the door to crank out their next appointment. Dr. D and his staff take their time, seek to understand deeply if or how they can help then partner with patients to come up with the best path forward. Can't recommend Dr. D and Orange Psychiatric enough.

Dr. Dholakia is a thorough and kind person. His bedside manner is phenomenal and he truly does everything within his power to help people who are sick feel more comfortable. Not only is he thorough, but kindness radiates from him openly. He truly cares about his patients and their families. Go see him! You won't regret it.
