Comprehensive Psychiatric Care for California Patients

California is one of the most underserved states for psychiatric care despite its size — waitlists for new patients regularly stretch 3-6 months in major metropolitan areas.

From Silicon Valley tech burnout and startup pressure to the high-stress entertainment industry in Los Angeles, Dr. Hovav provides expert telehealth psychiatry to California patients without the wait.
