Why Pleasant Hill patients choose UMG

Care that fits your life.

Pleasant Hill is our flagship clinic — and the only UMG location offering on-site Spravato® (esketamine) for treatment-resistant depression and TMS therapy for depression that hasn't responded to medication.

Patients across the East Bay — Walnut Creek, Concord, Martinez, Lafayette, Orinda — make Pleasant Hill their home clinic. Every UMG provider is a board-certified psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner, and initial evaluations run 60–90 minutes. We take time to understand your full picture, not just write a prescription.
