Alejandra Suzuki, MD, FAPA, is a double board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist and TMS specialist at Americas TMS Center in Irvine, California. Dr. Suzuki comes from Japanese lineage but was born and grew up in Argentina, so she had a unique multi-cultural upbringing. Not only can she speak fluent English, Spanish, and Japanese, as a result, as well as French, but her background gives her invaluable insight and empathy for patients of many ethnicities.
Dr. Suzuki graduated from medical school at the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina and took up a residency in ophthalmology, finding a particular interest in neuro-ophthalmology that took her to Japan to pursue research in the field. On her return, Dr. Suzuki enrolled in the University of Miami to research neuro-otology, but having awakened her passion for the human mind as well as the brain, she took a different career path with a residency in psychiatry at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
Dr. Suzuki followed this with fellowship training in child psychiatry at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) and received advanced training in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) at Harvard Medical School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Dr. Suzuki uses TMS therapy as a safe treatment option for children as she’s seen the effects medication can have on young people. She is one of the first psychiatrists in the United States to specialize in using TMS for the developing brain.
Dr. Suzuki’s particular passion is the mind and brain development of children. When she was training for her fellowship at UCLA, she took a year-long elective in the autism clinic and pursued further research into autism at the Brain Research Institute at UCLA. She currently supervises and teaches child psychiatry fellows of the CHOC neuropsychiatric clinic at the University of California in Irvine. Dr. Suzuki is a fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and a member of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and the Clinical TMS Society.
Dr. Suzuki’s approach to psychiatry is one of prevention wherever possible so that patients receive treatment at an early stage and thus recover more quickly, with fewer adverse effects, and she believes in collaborating with health care providers and integrating behavioral health and physical health. As defined by the IOM (Institute of Medicine), Dr. Suzuki provides care that is “respectful of, and responsive to, individual patient preferences, needs and values, and ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions.”

Nice
the doctor is very attentive kind
Everyone I encounter in the office is welcoming, bright, and cheery. Each of the techs thoroughly explain what's happening and are quick to answer questions and make adjustments as requested. Dr. Suzuki is compassionate and knowledgeable, and really took her time explaining the process and our goals. I have not quite finished treatment yet, but am already experiencing dramatic changes in my mood and energy levels. I am so happy to have had this experience, and would recommend to anyone wondering if they would benefit from TMS.
Friendly staff. Dr really tried to help.

Great and sincere personality.
Great doctor
Very helpful when my insurance turned me down for TMS Therapy. They filed two appeals for me. The staff are so caring. I had a depression breakdown and the staff was calling me and checking on me to make sure I was ok. There is too much to say. They have been a great experience thus far.
Makes taking care of your mental Health an easy and stress free process.
I found Dr. Suzuki after a ton of research. Simply put, I very much respect and adore Dr. Suzuki. I've never experienced so much empathy and intrigue from anyone, let alone any doctor, to get to the bottom of things. Relatedly, she cares to take the time required to ask critical questions and dig deeper. Indeed, some of the questions she directed at me had never been asked by any practitioner. I just can't wait to see her for my next appointment. I highly recommend her practice.
Dr. Suzuki is great!
I have been seeing Dr. Suzuki for more than a year. She is extremely professional. I am beyond happy with her services and the quality of life that I have received as a result of her services. I had no idea I would be impacted so positively. Thank you so much!
Great care.
I’ve had nothing but a great experience with dr Suzuki. Always had breast communication and she understood what I was trying to explain and my mental health has has a significant shift in a positive way!
Very understanding
Very confortable
