HealingMaps Take: Hightop Health is a psychiatric practice with seven Georgia offices and three in Austin, formed as Psych Atlanta, Georgia Psychiatry & Sleep and Roots Behavioral Health joined under one name. Its Cartersville office at 15 Medical Drive, Suite 350 offers ketamine, Spravato (esketamine) and NeuroStar TMS alongside medication management and therapy. Hightop says it accepts all major commercial insurance plans and Medicare, with coverage that varies by office. Its ketamine page says ketamine is given by intramuscular injection or IV infusion, but the office pages don’t say which route each office uses, so ask when you book.

Market Position: Hightop’s Cartersville office brings ketamine, Spravato and TMS under one psychiatric practice to Bartow County and northwest Georgia, with other Hightop offices across metro Atlanta for continuity of care.
