Meet Dr. Martha Koo, MD | Psychiatrist and Founder, Neuro Wellness Spa

We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr. Martha Koo, MD and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dr. Martha, what is the most important factor behind your success?
I believe the most important factor behind my success was my choice to collaborate with an ideal business partner, one who shares my values, goals and work ethic and whose knowledge and skills complement my deficits.

What should our readers know about your business?
I am the founder of Neuro Wellness Spa, an insurance-based, outpatient medical facility that offers psychiatric medication management and alternative therapies, such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy, IV Ketamine, Spravato and photobiomodulation for treatment refractory mental illness. I am most proud of the excellent, individualized, customer care that Neuro Wellness Spa offers patients and our state-of-the-art technology. I want people to know that mental illness is treatable and that the goal of treatment should be full remission from symptoms for the highest possible quality of life, not living life with partially treated symptoms or with medication side effects. My patients teach me so many lessons about resiliency and what it means to be human and vulnerable. I feel so blessed that, everyday, I get to do what I love. It is never easy to grow a successful business. It takes passion, devotion and time. To me, challenges are opportunities for creative change and improvement. Having a stellar business partner and executive team have allowed me to overcome challenges for continued success.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
When friends, I love ensuring time for a hike/picnic in Topanga Canyon, riding bikes along the strand, and watching the sunset on the beach. Visiting Venice Beach, the Santa Monica Pier, the 3rd Street Promenade, and the Hollywood sign are a must. Seeing a film at the IMAX theater in Playa Vista is always entertaining. For. day trip, I like to go to Big Bear and Ojai. For food/drink locally, getting a juice from the Pressed Juicery and brunch at the Local Yolk are always delish. Hitting El Tarasco for Mexican food, Ameci for pizza, and Sugar Fish for sushi are excellent. For more formal dining I like Eddie V’s.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would love to give a shoutout to my mother who exemplified determination, perseverance and hard work, supported my education and professional goals and demonstrated a woman’s ability to balance career and family.
