The Physician

Gordon Wong
MD, MPH

I am a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in the diagnosis and pharmacologic management of psychiatric illness. My practice is guided by evidence-based medicine and a holistic framework — treating the full complexity of anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and co-occurring medical and psychiatric conditions.

My background in biomedical engineering and two years of radiology training inform a systems-level view of the nervous system that distinguishes how I approach diagnosis. Within Silicon Valley, that perspective matters. I completed two years of radiology training and psychiatric training at Stanford University. I attended undergraduate and medical school at Northwestern University where I also obtained my Masters in Public Health.

As a lecturer at Five Branches University and a guest lecturer at Stanford Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, I remain deeply engaged in education and collaborative care — including integration with complementary and alternative medicine approaches.

In my spare time, I enjoy tennis, hiking, swimming, and spending time with my family.

I welcome patients seeking expert psychiatric treatment, complex case consultation, second opinions, and forensic evaluations.
