He completed Medical School at Ross University School of Medicine and his residency at St. Louis University Hospital (SLUH).

More recently, Dr. Akridge has been working in an outpatient setting in Colorado, serving as an interventional psychiatrist, utilizing both Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Ketamine treatments for treatment-resistant depression.

Dr. Akridge believes that at the core of successful interventional treatment is the creation of collaborative relationships with patients. Building trust and providing a transparent approach to medicine is something deeply important to him.

After witnessing the success of Ketamine treatment from people looking for ketamine treatment near me, Dr. Akridge realized he wanted to offer the treatment to a broader community and believes Taconic Psychiatry can make that happen.
