The vision for Tate Healthcare Specialists arose from Dr. Tate's early experiences as a physician in private practice. He saw serious problems in the way patients with depression, anxiety, ADD, overweight, insomnia, and other mental symptoms were treated.

Often the treatments were impractical, such as endless psychotherapy without proven benefit. Or medications were prescribed with no opportunity for the patient to learn to reduce the psychological issues that were part of the problem. In these early experiences, Dr. Tate saw that poor customer service was the norm: long waiting times for an appointment; little explanation about the diagnosis or treatment; little tailoring of treatment to a patient's particular circumstance; no attempt to educate the public about these conditions.

Dr. Tate envisioned a clinic that would combine the best medical knowledge with the best ideas regarding customer service. This clinic would use only proven medical treatments that are quickly effective; its staff would study continually to provide state-of-the-art care. No therapeutic "fads" would be used. Patients at Tate Healthcare Specialists can rest assured that all treatments discussed with them have been proven safe and effective. Care at this clinic would combine both medication treatment and proven counseling techniques.

The clinic would also provide excellent customer service and, in every way, would be run as a cutting-edge business. The public would be made aware of medical advances in the area of mental health; waiting times would be minimal; attention to the patient's comfort would be high; every effort would be made to educate the patient about his diagnosis; treatment decisions would be made in collaboration with the patient.
