Management

The M3 team of mental health professionals is comprised of expert researchers and clinicians who along with others focused from the beginning on a feasible but powerful solution to empower primary care practices with a tool that would reduce missed cases and the subsequent mistreatment and help coordinate engaging review with their patients. Each of the doctors has considerable research experience with mental illnesses, specifically depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and PTSD, and is a leading expert in the field of psychiatry.
