"

A consultation is not a verdict. It's a process we walk through together.
I want my patients to leave the clinic with a little more understanding of their situation,
and a little more choice about what to do next.

— Dr. Tam Win Hong
Approach

How I Practice

Listen first

The first visit is not about prescribing. It's about understanding the full picture, sleep, mood, relationships, work, family, before any treatment plan takes shape.

Integrated treatment

Pharmacotherapy as a foundation, complemented by lifestyle adjustment, psychoeducation, and non-invasive therapies such as rTMS, CES, and tPBM when indicated.

No over-prescription

Mainstream antidepressants are not addictive; sleep medications are reviewed carefully. The goal is to complete a course of treatment and taper off, not lifelong medication.

Across cultures

Consultations in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. I'm comfortable with the practical and cultural realities expats and international patients face in Taiwan.
