Services
I provide specialty evaluation and treatment of adult patients with mood disorders and mixed mood/anxiety disorders. Typical patients range in age from early adulthood to late life, and are diagnosed with a range of disorders including Bipolar Disorder, Major Depression, Dysthymia, Panic Disorders, and Adult ADHD.
I am NOT accepting any insurance at this time and I am not part of any managed care plans. This means that you need to pay at the time of session. Automatic payment with a VISA or Mastercard is preferred; checks and cash, however, are also accepted. My general prices are $325 dollars for the initial 60-75 minute evaluation and $125 for the follow-up appointments that are approximately 30 minutes.

*He's not able to take any new patients at this time but he made the time to read my long email and reply back.
*He is a Dr specializing in psychiatry for the right reasons.
*I do detect a caring doctor!
*It doesn't take me long to notice whether a physician is worth it or not! I've had good rapport with both doctors and can still tell.
Gosh, why does this keep saying "got any more to add?" & "Don't leave us hanging"? I added more.

Dr. Dale is absolutely, hands down the most caring and kind doctor I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I've had a handful of family doctors, psychiatrists, therapist, etc. in the past 13 years and none come close to how genuine visits with Dr. Dale feel. You can tell immediately that he isn't trying to quickly get you in and out, and that he really wants more than anything to help. It's rare to find a doctor that you look forward to the next appointment when you leave his office.

Dr Dale is the most amazing doctor and human being that I've ever worked with. I've been under his care for 9 years. HE HAS NEVER FAILED ME. Not even once. I have emailed him 100s of times. HE ALWAYS RESPONDS. Sometimes after midnight! He calls in my prescriptions sometimes last minute bc I forget to ask for a refill. HE IS VERY OPEN MINDED AND WILLING TO WORK WITH ME. I have done a ton of alternative medicine and he has always been supportive. If he feels strongly that I should choose a certain course of action, he will educate me first and gently push me in that direction. He has never been mean

By far one of the best experiences I've had with any healthcare professional, and I've seen more than a few. Doctor Dale is great at taking the time to explain things to me, he never talks down to me but he also never over-complicates. He truly tries to do the best he can and I feel a real kinship with him. He's also obviously intelligent and knowledgeable. Finally, he puts up with all my dumb questions and answers me in a timely fashion. I really can't ask for more from a medical professional.

Dr. Hsieh is an outstanding physician. He truly cares about his patients. He is incredibly thorough and takes diligent notes to ensure he's tailored a treatment approach specific to each individual patient. He's incredibly knowledgeable as well and takes time to educate his patients so they understand their treatment options. On top of that, he's just such a nice guy. Visiting with him feels like you're visiting with a friend. I highly recommend Dr. Hsieh if you are looking for a competent and compassionate psychiatrist.

Dr. Dale has exceeded my expectations. Every visit he thoroughly explains any medication he prescribes, how it's supposed to work, what to expect & the side effects. He really listens to my concerns & makes me feel comfortable. He's changed my life for the better. I couldn't ask for a better psychiatrist.

Dr. Dale is one of the most competent and caring medical professionals in Central Texas. I was lucky enough to find him through Yelp when I was wearing thin from debilitating anxiety that made it impossible to do anything without doing it with the utmost perfection. This wasted so much time, energy and made me a very difficult person to be around. I was short tempered, constantly exhausted even though I was sleeping 10-12 hours a night, and just a real pleasure to be around () The last 10 months we've been able to map out a plan that has quite literally changed my life and made me feel so

Dr. Hsieh is so phenomenal, I had to write another review. His inquisitive nature means he never stops trying to improve your quality of life. He continues to tweak dosages until you feel like you are living your best life. He remains supportive and understanding throughout treating you, while still holding you accountable for your actions. I may use a phrase simply in passing and he circles back to it, noticing an issue or symptom with which I'm dealing even before I have become fully aware of it.
You will immediately feel comfortable in his presence and never doubt that he has your best

Dr. Hsieh is hands down the best doctor I've ever been to. He genuinely cares about his patients and works hard to find the right treatments. Before meeting Dr. Hsieh I was very discouraged; every doctor I'd been to seemed very apathetic and left me feeling discouraged. Meeting Dr. Hsieh was such a breath of fresh air. Instead of feeling hopeless (like previous doctors made me feel), I was assured that we would work together to find the right solution and that things would get better. I can't emphasize enough what a difference it makes to finally have a doctor who actually cares

He basically has a sixth sense. He's different from any mental health professional I've seen, and I've seen many. I will update with progress as it's only been a couple sessions. He exhibits extremely important characteristics in a doctor: compassion, empathy, and extreme intelligence. This is the kind of dude that skated through medical school. He is very perceptive but also just nice to talk to. I highly suggest giving him a call.

Doctor Dale is really a very good doctor. Dale has taken me under care, and that is precisely what has happened. He cares. He has NEVER been late, he FREQUENTLY stays over time with me, he is ALWAYS compassionate. He DOES have MY best interests. He is my FIRST psychiatrist, he will stay that way for now. I have read the reviews of other Psychiatrists in town and it scares me. ALL their reviews said terrible terrible things. I have found the opposite to be true here.
Appointments are not hard to get with him as are answers to emails. When I say not difficult you can usually have an appointment

I am a 35 year old registered nurse that has been using my Primary Care Physicians to manage what they assumed was anxiety and ADHD for the last 15 years. I was prescribed a variety of different medications including Zoloft, Wellbutrin, Xanax and a variety of different ADHD medications. I loved all of my PCP's and feel they did their best to treat my psychiatric concerns, but I did not feel my symptoms were well managed.
As an RN, I was called to help a short-staffed psychiatric unit for a few months here in the Austin area and was amazed at what I witnessed. I saw clients that were admitted

I've seen many psychiatrists over the years and Dr Dale is one of the best I've ever seen. I just saw him for my initial evaluation and I was very pleased. We talked about a plan that included plenty of treatment options like medication, and other things like working out, meditation, and talk therapy. It was good to know I had so many options to help me get better.
I just saw him recently and it was pretty easy to get an appointment. He couldn't schedule me for my first choice of appointment time bc he was out of town but I'm glad I waited to see him the following week

I gave Dr. Hsieh 5 stars because I didn't want my review to lower his rating since this review is to give others some insight on the intake process rather than the quality of his services.
Idk about others, but even though he is listed as one of the providers for my insurance, he doesn't take insurance. It's fine, I'm willing to pay cash for a good psychiatrist but then I was told he wasnt taking new patients and he has no waiting list, even though on his website it says nothing about that. In fact, his website is very welcoming towards new patients. And that was one of the

Of all of the Psychiatrists I've seen in my 30-some odd year time of needing treatment, Dr Dale has made me feel the most comfortable, and the most dialed-in I have felt ever.
First visit I ever had with him, he looked at the medications I was on, and how my symptoms persisted, and suggested two changes in my overall plan introducing very low side-effect support medication. He seemed to instantly understand the issues that I had with my old medication and how it pertained to me and the rest felt like magic.
He's a humble, funny, and patient guy--exactly what I needed in addition

For the past few years I had been suffering from an escalating anxiety issue and what I thought was depression or bipolar ( from google research). My GP said I needed to see physiatrist, I felt it best to talk to someone who specialized in this sort of thing so I could be sure I was on the right treatment path.I asked around and many times Dr. Dales name was brought up. I think word of mouth is definitely the way to go, my friend gave me his email.
