Sagarika Nag, MD - UNC Health Care Alcohol and Drug Detoxification Unit at Wakebrook

I feel fortunate to have an opportunity to be a physician and chose this profession because I truly enjoy caring for others while having fun and bringing a positive attitude to the clinic room or bedside in the hospital. I focus on creating a safe space for my patients by reducing stigma and talking openly about issues that are complex and difficult to talk about. Over the last few years, I have become more interested in the interaction of physical health, mental health and addiction. I focus on shared decision making and helping to support my patients healthcare goals. Outside of work, I like to spend time with my family, exercise, read and try new restaurants.

Being a doctor combines my passion for learning about living things and helping people during their most difficult times. I believe people are more than just diagnoses, and achieving good mental health requires looking at peoples whole stories and meeting them where they are. I strive to build a strong partnership with my patients to find the treatments that work best for them. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety and a wide range of mental health issues. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, painting, playing board games with my family and friends, and playing with my dog and four cats.
