History of Insight Medical


   We are a small independent Psychiatric/ Mental Health practice...

How we came to be....
It was apparent that there were not enough psychiatric providers in our area, available and willing to treat patients without exhorbitant wait times.... Big practices seemed to have Big wait times... Providers seemed to be rushing due to re-imbursment models that maximize patient load. The only thing to do is re-design... start small.
​      Our model involves re-uniting mind, brain and body, helping people find a way back to original health and insight... making a full hour available if needed foir each patient. Time  to include therapy and the option for medication management if needed. The theoretical principal of self healing with a guide .... Bandaid or lasting treatment ?  you decide.
