Psychiatry in Oak Brook, serving the Chicago area and all of Illinois

Mugen Psychiatry is a physician-led practice based in Oak Brook, in DuPage County, serving patients across the western suburbs and the greater Chicago area in person, and the rest of Illinois by secure telehealth. We are in-network with 12 plans, accepting new patients, and built around continuity, so you see the same psychiatrist every visit.

An Oak Brook office, close to the western suburbs

Our practice is at 600 W 22nd St, Suite 260, Oak Brook, IL 60523, easy to reach from Hinsdale, Downers Grove, Elmhurst, Lombard, and the surrounding DuPage County suburbs.

Telehealth anywhere in Illinois

If you are outside the Chicago area, most evaluations and medication management can be done by secure video anywhere in Illinois, from Naperville to the city to downstate.

In-network with 12 plans, including Illinois Medicaid

We accept BCBS Illinois, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, and Illinois Medicaid plans (CountyCare, Molina, Blue Cross Community, Aetna Better Health), coverage most local practices do not take. We verify your plan and confirm your cost before your first visit.

A real local practice, not a marketplace

We are physician-founded, with a real Oak Brook office and a stable Illinois-based team. You are cared for by your psychiatrist, not a rotating cast.

The same psychiatrist every visit

Continuity is the point. Your clinician knows your history because they have lived it with you.

Accepting new patients across the Chicago area

We are accepting new adult patients in Oak Brook and by telehealth statewide, and we work to see you quickly rather than putting you on a long waitlist.
