Dr. Tung Phan, MD

I am Dr. Tung Phan, a kind and dedicated psychiatrist specializing in both internal medicine and psychiatry. After earning my medical degree from Tufts University, I completed my residency in Internal Medicine and Psychiatry at the University of Texas Southwestern. This extensive training enables me to effectively address both physical and mental health concerns, providing my patients with thorough and balanced care.

Throughout my career, I have been honored with accolades such as the Resident Teaching Award and the AΩA Resident Nominee. In addition to my clinical work, I take great pride in teaching and mentoring medical students, helping to shape the future of the healthcare field.

As part of my commitment to advancing the medical profession, I contribute through research and publications, and serve as an Assistant Editor for Academic Psychiatry. My research focuses on improving healthcare access and enhancing the understanding of complex medical conditions.

Outside of my medical practice, I find joy in writing, and I’ve been fortunate to have my work published in various outlets.

Both patients and colleagues appreciate my caring and careful approach. I am always here to welcome new patients and am committed to providing the highest standard of care possible.

You can reach me for inquiries or appointments by phone or at my work address in Somerville, MA.

*Treatment philosophy
My purpose is to empower you to gain deeper insight and clarity, helping you lead a more intentional life. I am dedicated to assisting you in nurturing your mental well-being by integrating knowledge from neuroscience, psychopharmacology, and psychodynamic therapy. By embracing an attitude of openness, curiosity, collaboration, and empathy, my goal is to create a supportive environment where we can explore and process life’s experiences together. It’s important to note that my practice is virtual, offering telepsychiatry services without any physical locations. While my focus is primarily on medication management, I also have the capacity to work with psychotherapy patients, as long as they are over 18 years old.
