At Ruhwell Med, we decided to do things differently. We are a husband-and-wife-led private practice based in College Station, Texas. We’re not built on volume or subscriptions. We’re a physician-led private practice designed for continuity, depth, and real relationships.
Choosing mental health care is a personal decision. You’re not just looking for a prescription—you’re looking for someone who listens, understands, and stays with you over time. That’s exactly how we built Ruhwell Med.
A Modern Practice with a Personal Foundation
Ruhwell Med is led by physician assistant Maria Baig, PA-C, with clinical oversight from supervising physician Dr. Almas Baig, MD. Together, we’ve created a practice that combines evidence-based psychiatry with a highly personalized patient experience. We focus on doing psychiatry well—taking the time to understand patterns, not just symptoms, and building treatment plans that evolve with you over time.
We don’t do rushed visits. We take the time to understand patterns, not just prescribe.
We aim for the lowest effective medication dose and integrate evidence-based lifestyle strategies when appropriate.
Care is centered on improving function, stability, and quality of life—not just reducing symptoms.
Every decision is shared. We discuss risks, benefits, and alternatives so you can make informed choices.
Primary Psychiatric Clinician | NCCPA Certified
Maria Baig, PA-C, provides psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adolescents and adults.
Her approach is individualized, evidence based, and collaborative. Her experience caring for patients in rural/urban Oklahoma, Long Island, and New York City has shaped a style that is both clinically grounded and deeply personal. She earned her psychology degree from the University of Tulsa and her physician assistant degree from the University of Evansville. During her clinical training, she developed a strong interest in psychiatry and built a natural connection with patients navigating mental health challenges.
Maria has a special interest in anxiety, depression, ADHD, student and young adult mental health, and perinatal and postpartum care. As a mother, she also brings personal understanding to the challenges of pregnancy, postpartum life, and major life transitions.
Outside of work, she enjoys baking, reading, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
Primary Psychiatric Provider
Medical Director
Dr. Almas Baig serves as Medical Director of Ruhwell Med and helps guide the practice’s commitment to high-quality, compassionate, patient-centered care.
While Maria leads psychiatric evaluations and ongoing treatment, Dr. Baig provides medical oversight and supports the clinical quality of the practice. Together, they have built Ruhwell Med as a physician-led, family-run practice rooted in warmth, trust, and personalized care.
Medical Director
Ruhwell Med started as a conversation at our dinner table. We wanted a name that felt personal, meaningful, and rooted in the kind of care we hope to offer.
“Ruh” means soul. It speaks to the deeper part of who you are beyond symptoms, stress, or diagnosis. We believe healing is not only about reducing symptoms, but about helping you feel whole again.
“Ruhwell” reflects that vision of deeper well-being. “Med” reflects our foundation in thoughtful, evidence-based medical care.
