FOUNDER OF SUGI PSYCHIATRY & WELLNESS | RENO OFFICE
Nickolas Culpepper, M.D.
The key element that patients love about Dr. Nickolas Culpepper is his quest to treat the whole person. He recognizes that by the time individuals knock on his door, they’ve already seen their primary care physician and frequently, tried at least three medications without success. They are frustrated and looking for help. In-line with the kintsugi philosophy, “Dr. C” believes that by repairing what is broken, we become more unique and resilient.
