Prior to joining the practice, I have worked closely with patients dealing with life changing medical conditions and their personal journeys during the various phases of their illness. I bring expertise in pharmacology with its nuances in drug-drug interaction but also sensitive to the complexities of the human experience. I am a firm believer in the holistic approach, with emphasis on mindfulness and gratitude as well as the value of lifestyle medicine.
I live by this quote attributed to Victor Frankl, a psychiatrist and Auschwitz survivor who later wrote the book Man’s Search for Meaning,“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

I bring a deep respect for science and spirituality into my work. Professionally, I am dual board-certified in psychiatry and sleep medicine. As a consultation psychiatrist, I specialized in the complex interplay between the mind and body. My work been nationally recognized by The New York Times, Forbes, Cosmopolitan, Psychology Today, NBC News among other media. I also serve as a medical reviewer for Business Insider, the Sleep Foundation, and as a contributing author to The Encyclopedia of Sleep Medicine. From Meditation to Medication, my goal is to share the knowledge and experience I’ve gained through my work. I aim to help people achieve peace, presence, and happiness by discovering the right combination of psychological and biological interventions tailored to their individual needs.
Dr. Dimitriu completed his training in the Stanford division of Sleep Medicine. Through the optimization of wake and sleep, he has brought truly amazing outcomes to the most challenging of cases.
A thorough understanding of neuroscience and pharmacology are applied to attain the most minimal, efficient and holistic solutions possible. Beyond repair, he strives for enhancement, optimization and longevity. Science and psychology are applied to enhance joy, creativity, cognition, and performance.
Away from work, Alex lives to be in the ocean; sailing, kite-boarding, surfing, and spending time with his family. He is currently writing a book about the interplay of biology and psychology, nature as well as nurture, in pursuit of peace and performance.
