Daniel Pimstone, MD Lic  A99978

"My name is Daniel Pimstone and I currently work with adults (18+) that are seeking medical psychiatric evaluation and care of mood and anxiety disorders (depression, bipolar, generalized anxiety, panic, OCD, PTSD, phobias), insomnia, psychosis, eating disorders, and process or substance addictions. I see my role as a psychiatrist similar to that of a consultant, helping you manage current physical and mental health challenges through detailed evaluation, education and guidance. It takes collaboration with your family, physician and mental health providers to come to a well-rounded personalized treatment plan. Good communication is one of my hallmarks. I do not simply “push pills” but rather seek a holistic treatment approach that utilizes mindfulness, therapy, exercise, nutrition, genetic testing, ketamine, trans-cranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), medication management and minimization of harmful substances.

After earning my BA in Psychobiology through UCLA, I attended medical school at UC Davis and then completed my internship, residency and fellowship in adult psychiatry and addiction medicine at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills. At this time I am contracted with LGTC (Los Gatos Therapy Center), Canyon Creek Counseling and accept multiple private insurances including Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Optum, Magellan, MHN and Beacon.  Clients have flexibility to be seen either remotely through Telehealth or in-person at my office in Westlake Village, CA.

I look forward to working with you and your loved ones to bring understanding, compassion, balance and ultimately joy back into your lives."
