MIU Center was created by Dr. Munachim Uyanwune in 2021. Dr. Uyanwune fondly known as “Dr. U” was inspired to create this practice in response to all the turbulent events in 2020, particularly the coronavirus pandemic, racial discrimination and the stigma associated with mental health. While growing up, Dr. Uyanwune saw untreated mental illness in her community. She learned that the impact of this extends wide, affecting the individual, their family and their community at large. At MIU Center, we realize people are unique and hence each person will require different approaches in helping them reach their vision and goals. MIU Center provides medication management for treatment of behavioral health disorders.

“I have been seeing Nelia Sarmiento for years. She is thorough, patient, and compassionate. She stays on top of my medications. She is always willing to look into a new or different medication if it seems like I am no longer getting the full benefit of one. She’s honest and professional when giving feedback to questions. I have referred several friends to her. Not one has been disappointed in their care.”
