About Baywood

Michael Vagts, MD
Medical Director

The Baywood Clinic was started so I could practice psychiatry in a way that modern managed care would not allow. I wanted to address the holistic needs of my clients by integrating therapy, nutrition, exercise, CAM treatments and medication when necessary. At Baywood, we have the luxury of time and flexibility in caring for our patients that the insurance model could not follow.

Of late, my attention has been on helping people focus and improve mental output against the harmful forces of modern technology--all without psychostimulants. My brief guidebook "Defragging Your Mind" (available free here) provides detailed, evidence-based strategies to help enhance productivity and performance without a prescription. My research and exploration led me to start Goldmind Health, LLC to offer convenient, high-quality supplements to support optimal cognition. 

My academic background encompasses an undergraduate degree from UCLA in Physics summa cum laude, Master’s degree in Physics from UC Berkeley, MD from David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and MBA from the Anderson School of Management at UCLA. I completed my psychiatry residency at San Mateo Behavioral Health and Recovery Services and have earned board certification from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. I previously served as the Medical Chief at San Mateo County BHRS - Central County Adult Psychiatry Clinic and Coastside Mental Health Clinic, serving the severely mentally ill and indigent population and now continue to provide care as a contracting staff psychiatrist for San Mateo County. 

I have additionally held the position of attending psychiatrist at Mills Health Center (a Sutter Hospital), working in the inpatient unit and covering the Mills Peninsula Medical Center Psychiatric Emergency Services unit. I have also served as an attending psychiatrist in a private outpatient group practice for PCPA (now Lifestance Health) and at San Mateo Medical Center, working in both the inpatient psychiatric unit and the psychiatric emergency room.

Anna Jung, MD

I earned my undergraduate degree in History from the UCLA and obtained my MD from the UC Davis School of Medicine. My psychiatry residency was completed at San Mateo Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, where I had the honor of serving as Chief Resident during my final year. I am board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.

My passion for understanding the unique mental health needs of older adults led me to pursue fellowship training in Geriatric Psychiatry at the Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU), and I am additionally board certified in this specialized field. I currently provide care for older patients residing at Skilled Nursing Facilities as a consultant and serve as an attending psychiatrist for a Regional Center in North California. I previously served as an attending psychiatrist at San Mateo County BHRS - North County Adult Psychiatry Clinic.

The Baywood Clinic provides me with the opportunity to cater to a distinct patient demographic, diverging from consulting roles. My focus primarily lies in serving the older adult population, employing a blend of psychotherapy and lifestyle enhancements aimed at promoting resilience and fostering holistic well-being.
