As one of the first Ketamine Clinics in the United States and the first and only Ketamine Clinic to be accredited by AAAASF, we consistently set the gold-standard for patient comfort, safety, and optimum treatment outcomes.
What We Treat
Depression
Patients undergoing Ketamine Infusion Therapy for depression, unipolar depression, bipolar depression, postpartum depression (PPD), can feel rapid relief within hours to days, without the negative side effects associated with antidepressant medications. Ketamine infusions for depression can be highly effective even in treatment-resistant cases. This return to wellness can last many months and even years in some cases, oftentimes eliminating the need to take antidepressants every day. Most patients also report a superior quality of relief; a genuine sense of happiness without the flat or numb affect often experienced from other treatments. Treatment is safe, effective, and has no long-term side effects.
Mood Disorders
Patients suffering from mood disorders such as suicidal thoughts, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder and (OCD) may experience considerably more relief from ketamine infusions than conventional medications and therapies provide. Ketamine therapy can work effectively, even in treatment-resistant cases, with no long-term side effects. Ketamine helps improve brain function and promotes healing in a unique way, unlike other traditional treatments. Most of ketamine’s effects on neurochemistry are an entirely new approach to treating mental health conditions. Treatment is safe, effective, and has no long-term side effects.
Anxiety Disorders
Patients with generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, panic disorder, and other forms of anxiety disorders can be treated effectively and quickly by Ketamine Infusion Therapy. Relief is often enjoyed as fast as 2-3 infusions. Ketamine treatment can help to promote calm in a patient’s nervous system through a unique process of helping restore a healthier neurochemical balance.

Research
Ketamine as a Novel Treatment for Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Depression: A Systematic Review and Quantitative Meta-Analysis
Given the significant disability, morbidity and mortality associated with depression, the promising recent trials of ketamine highlight a novel intervention. A meta-analysis was conducted to assess the efficacy of ketamine in comparison with placebo for the reduction of depressive symptoms in patients who meet criteria for a major depressive episode. The large and statistically significant effect of ketamine on depressive symptoms supports a promising, new and effective pharmacotherapy with rapid onset, high efficacy and good tolerability.
Antidepressant Efficacy of Ketamine in Treatment-Resistant Major Depression: A Two-Site Randomized Controlled Trial
The authors evaluated the rapid antidepressant efficacy of ketamine in a large group of patients with treatment-resistant major depression. Ketamine demonstrated rapid antidepressant effects in an optimized study design, further supporting NMDA receptor modulation as a novel mechanism for accelerated improvement in severe and chronic forms of depression.
Rapid Antidepressant Effects of Repeated Doses of Ketamine Compared with Electroconvulsive Therapy in Hospitalized Patients with Major Depressive Disorder

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.
