At Greater Austin Psychiatry & Wellness, we understand that mental illness does not define who you are. Much like patients diagnosed with Hypertension or Diabetes, mental illness is not a choice, but a medical condition benefiting from treatment. We believe in considering the entire person, as each aspect is intimately interconnected and relevant to the whole. We offer medication management and wellness services.

Here at Pondworks, outpatient psychiatry works because our team of providers. This is becasue we ALL work together as a team. Our founder, Bernard Kim, MD heads the clinic and demonstrates his commitment to the highest level of outpatient care available. Thats because when you look for a psychiatrist in Austin you are looking for the highest level of training. That high level of education can be found to take care of your mental health.

Therefore, this puts a lot of pressure on making a relationship with the psychiatrist work even when it may not be the greatest match.
