Our Patients and What They Are Saying

Ketamine is effective in treating patients who have been diagnosed as “treatment-resistant,” meaning they have not responded to a fair trial of conventional medication. It is their condition, not them, that is resistant. Ketamine is better, works faster, and is safer than most alternatives. The quality of relief surpasses the alternatives. Ketamine Infusion Therapy is a highly unique treatment and there is no one more appropriate to prove it than our brave patients.

The patients we’ve treated who have benefitted from Ketamine Infusion Therapy run the gamut and include every type of person and every level of severity of symptoms. Children as young as 10, adults as old as 88, men, women, all genders, races, ethnicities, religious and cultural backgrounds, socioeconomic statuses, and more. Peoples’ ability to function and the type of work they do ranges from highly-functioning, highly-successful people to those disabled by their condition and unable to care for themselves. We’ve helped A-list celebrities, CEOs of Fortune 500 Companies, successful entrepreneurs, white-collar workers, blue-collar workers, people in-between jobs, students, and the unemployed. Some have chosen ketamine infusions as a first-line treatment, others have come to it at the end of a long, hard road of ineffective treatments.

Depression, other mood disorders, and chronic pain conditions don’t discriminate – these afflictions affect people from all walks of life. Fortunately, ketamine treatment isn’t selective either – it has the potential to heal anyone. The testimonials on this site and the 200+ five-star reviews across Google, Yelp, and other sites are heartfelt and inspiring. You can tell when you read these authentic, detailed, personal accounts that ketamine treatment at Ketamine Clinics Los Angeles (KCLA) has given people their lives back. We encourage you to read as many as you have time for; you just might read part of your own story.
