Michelle L. Cantu, MD

Michelle L. Cantu, MD in Fredericksburg, Texas offers Spravato for adults with treatment-resistant depression. The esketamine nasal spray is self-administered under healthcare provider supervision and can be used with or without an oral antidepressant, followed by at least two hours of monitoring.

Spravato is an NMDA receptor antagonist thought to work differently from traditional antidepressants by acting on glutamate, a brain chemical messenger believed to help regulate depression. The practice also offers TMS therapy for depression.

Care at the Fredericksburg clinic is provided by Dr. Michelle Cantu, who is on site two Wednesdays each month, along with the practice's psychiatric team. Patients can schedule a consultation to see whether Spravato or TMS therapy is the right fit.
