KMG Psychiatry

What KMG Psychiatry does

KMG Psychiatry, legally operating as KAB Medical Group Inc., is a privately held outpatient psychiatric practice founded in 2016 and headquartered in San Diego, California. The practice runs three clinical sites — San Diego (Sorrento Valley, HQ), Chula Vista, and Vista — delivering integrative mental health care with a flagship focus on Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) administered via the FDA-cleared NeuroStar Advanced Therapy system. Its clinical portfolio spans treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, sleep disorders, schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders, child and adolescent mental health, and forensic mental health evaluations, augmented by a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform for virtual consultations and electronic prescribing.

Service delivery combines medication management, psychotherapy (CBT, DBT, supportive therapy), and TMS as a non-pharmacological alternative for medication-intolerant or treatment-refractory cases. The practice's primary patient segments are active duty military personnel and veterans, treatment-resistant depression patients, underserved populations, and children/adolescents. KMG accepts most major insurance plans including Medicare and Tricare, offers flexible payment plans, and positions appointment availability within one week as a patient acquisition lever. Strategic partnerships with Neuronetics (NeuroStar), UCLA Health, Psychology Today, and US4Warriors anchor both technology delivery and referral generation.

The business model is fee-for-service outpatient psychiatry under insurance reimbursement, with TMS functioning as the highest-value recurring revenue line (4-6 week courses, 5 sessions/week). The practice has achieved NeuroStar Diamond Circle Provider status (>2,400 treatments annually) and earned San Diego Magazine Top Doctors (2025) and Best of San Diego (2025) recognition. Dr. Ankur Bindal, MD is the founder and lead psychiatrist; the entity remains privately held with no disclosed external funding rounds, institutional investors, or parent company ownership.

Scale indicators4 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• LifeStance Health: LifeStance Health is one of the largest U.S. outpatient mental health platforms with 600+ centers offering psychiatry, therapy, and TMS. It is a scaled, publicly-traded incumbent competing with KMG for therapists, psychiatrists, and payer contracts across the same conditions.

Direct peers

• Cerebral: Cerebral is a national telehealth mental health provider offering medication management, therapy, and counseling for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and insomnia. It is comparable to KMG in delivering psychiatric care plus counseling to a broad adult population, though delivered primarily online rather than clinic-based.
• TalkSpace: TalkSpace is an online therapy and psychiatry platform providing messaging, live video sessions, and medication management with licensed therapists and psychiatrists. It competes with KMG's telehealth arm for the same outpatient mental health patient base.
• Mindpath Health: Mindpath Health is a multi-state outpatient psychiatric and therapy platform offering medication management, counseling, TMS, and Spravato across more than 90 locations. It is highly comparable as a multi-site outpatient psychiatry group with integrated TMS and broad mental health services.
• Talkiatry: Talkiatry is a national telepsychiatry platform staffed by psychiatrists providing evaluation, medication management, and therapy for depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and related conditions. It competes with KMG's psychiatry and medication management services, particularly via its hybrid in-person and virtual model.
• Amen Clinics: Amen Clinics is a multi-site outpatient psychiatry practice that integrates brain imaging (SPECT) with psychiatric evaluation and treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and TBI. It is comparable to KMG's integrative, technology-enhanced psychiatry model with a strong emphasis on treatment-resistant and complex cases.
• Greenbrook TMS: Greenbrook TMS is a U.S. multi-site provider dedicated to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation therapy for depression and OCD, operating 100+ clinics across multiple states. It is the closest scaled analog to KMG's NeuroStar-anchored, treatment-resistant-depression-focused model, and competes for the same patient profile and payer contracts.

Others

• Neuronetics: Neuronetics is the manufacturer of NeuroStar Advanced Therapy, the TMS system KMG uses across all three clinics. It is a critical technology partner and ecosystem enabler — and its Diamond Circle Provider program is the recognition framework under which KMG operates — rather than a direct clinical competitor.

Regional players

• Behavioral Health of the Palm Beaches: Behavioral Health of the Palm Beaches is a Florida-based outpatient and partial hospitalization mental health provider offering TMS, psychiatric care, and therapy. It is comparable to KMG as a regional TMS-anchored psychiatry practice, though it operates in a different geography.
• Pasadena Mental Health Associates: Pasadena Mental Health Associates is a Southern California outpatient psychiatry and therapy group offering medication management, TMS, and counseling. It is comparable in service mix to KMG but serves the LA County market rather than San Diego.
