What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
He was not interested in what I had to say only what he told me. Was more interested in what b my parents had to say. Didn’t care to talk about my trauma and kept interrupting me.

Years of being misunderstood with symptoms but the pattern won't continue with Dr. Esang! He listened to me very carefully and with genuine regard to my health, not just my mental health.

Feb 25, 2026
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
He makes patients who have been coming to this practice for 15+ years have appointments every three months or six months even though they previously was only coming once per year for 13+ years. Seems unnecessary if there are no changes or no problems. He has problems with his video and audio at times. His demeanor is not very engaging.

Feb 13, 2026
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
He is a highly rated and respected provider however when I presented with extremely bad depression, I wasn't given care or a timely followup because he wanted to do a genetic test and get the results back. I will have to follow up and try to get a sooner visit because obviously I am in need of immediate help and two months is a ridiculous and dangerous timeline to begin treatment.

Dr esang changed my life. He met me in the worst state of my life, I was struggling with grief, unmedicated mental illness and undiagnosed adhd. He was receptive to my concerns, listened, while still educating on risk factors instead of doing what I wanted, we compromised. I simply would not be alive, and living with no depressive symptoms and being able to manage the loss of [ ] without him. He doesn’t push meds, he brings it in conversation, he doesn’t push diagnosis or labels, he just notes a problem and he attempts to solve it. I would recommend him to anyone, who wants to see a change in their life. I no longer live with daily suicidal ideation, I no longer live scatter brained and anxious & I got a valid diagnosis for what I’ve been struggling with my entire life. I could not imagine where I would be without Dr esang, his team and Mymichigan health.
