Welcome
Thank you for visiting my practice’s website, Allied Psychiatry & Mental Health. My name is Hadi Estakhri, M.D. I’m a psychiatrist specializing in Adult, Adolescent, and Addiction Psychiatry/ Psychopharmacology in Newport Beach, California.
In practice since 1995, I’ve been fortunate enough to treat a wide range of disorders in various settings. I particularly welcome the more complex cases with co-occuring medical conditions or substance abuse (dual diagnosis). I have a passion for medicine and neuroscience; a down-to-earth; friendly therapeutic style; a tireless need to get people well; and an emphasis on a holistic view on human health.
Please take a moment to learn more about me and my services in Allied Psychiatry. As you search for a doctor for yourself, a family member, or a friend, I hope that I may be a resource. If you believe you may be a good fit for my practice, I would love to hear from you.
