What we treat
Our Sandy Springs doctors focus on conditions that haven't responded to earlier treatment:
- Treatment-resistant depression
- Treatment-resistant anxiety
- Treatment-resistant OCD
- Treatment-resistant PTSD
- Depression during pregnancy and postpartum
Treatment-resistant depression affects approximately 30% of people with major depressive disorder. If you've tried antidepressants and still have symptoms, you have options.
Treatments available in Sandy Springs

Spravato
A nasal spray treatment for treatment-resistant depression, given in our office with monitoring. Along with ketamine, one of the fastest-acting options available.
IV Ketamine
Ketamine therapy delivered by IV infusion in our office for treatment-resistant depression. Along with Spravato, one of the fastest-acting options available.
Vagus Nerve Stimulation
An implanted device for long-term treatment-resistant depression. Our doctors evaluate whether VNS is right for you.
