Patient Testimonials

Conditions We Treat

We focus on conditions where ketamine has growing clinical evidence and where patients often need options beyond standard medications. Explore how ketamine may help with depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, migraines, and neuropathic pain. Each condition page outlines candidacy, expected course of care, and how we coordinate with your therapist or prescriber.

Flexible Treatment Options for Lasting Results

At Ketamine Wellness Institute, we understand that every patient’s journey is unique. That’s why we offer two evidence-based ketamine treatment optionsIV ketamine infusions and FDA-approved SPRAVATO® nasal spray. Whether you’re seeking flexible, customized dosing or prefer an FDA-approved medication to complement your current antidepressant, we’ll help you determine which approach is best suited to your specific needs and treatment goals.

Your first visit covers history, goals, and a clear overview of dosing and monitoring. During infusions, you are in a quiet room with vital sign monitoring and a dedicated clinical team. We provide simple pre- and post-visit instructions, transportation guidance, and follow-up scheduling so you know exactly what to expect throughout the series. If you have a therapist or prescriber, we will coordinate with them to keep your care consistent.

SPRAVATO® Treatment

SPRAVATO® (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression. Treatment takes place in-clinic under supervision with observation afterward. For some patients, SPRAVATO® may be a better fit than IV ketamine based on diagnosis, insurance coverage, and response history. We will walk through both options and help you choose a path that matches your needs.

Patient Outcomes

Our protocols align with current research on ketamine for mood disorders and certain pain conditions. We track symptom change over time and adjust the plan based on your response and tolerability. Many patients report noticeable improvement early in treatment, and we discuss maintenance options only when there is a clear benefit. If ketamine is not the right fit, we guide you toward next steps rather than prolonging care that is not helping.
