Yes, when administered under medical supervision in a controlled setting, ketamine therapy is safe and has been effectively used for treating various mental health conditions, such as treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and intractable chronic pain conditions with minimal and manageable side effects.

At MindPain Relief Institute, board-certified emergency medicine physician, Dr. Akash Mehta, administers the ketamine infusions and monitors the patient at all times.

A good candidate for ketamine treatment is someone with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), certain other psychiatric conditions (e.g. generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, social anxiety disorder) or chronic pain, who has not responded to traditional medications. 

We accept referrals from providers who have patients who suffer from mental health & chronic pain conditions, and need another option after trying at least two treatments/medications.

We do not advise patients to drive or operate heavy machinery following a ketamine treatment for 12 hours or the next day, whichever is later. Also, we recommend against using any alcohol or marijuana for 24 hours before or after the treatment.

The number of treatments required varies depending on the individual and their specific condition. This will be discussed with your physician on the initial screening and evaluation consultation.

During a ketamine infusion at MindPain Relief Institute, you will be monitored by board-certified emergency medicine physician, Dr. Akash Mehta, who also administers the ketamine infusions.

You may experience mild side effects such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness. Your blood pressure may also increase, and this will be continually monitored during the infusion. If needed, Dr. Mehta is able to manage them with a large selection of additional IV supplements or medications as needed. Most patients feel relaxed and comfortable during the procedure, and do not suffer from any distressing side effects.

While long-term side effects are exceedingly rare, it's important to discuss any concerns with our IV Ketamine physician experts. Schedule your appointment today.

Our goal is to provide hassle-free and convenient health care. If something comes up, please let us know and we are happy to reschedule appointments. For infusion appointments, however, there is a $100 deposit.  This deposit will not be returned if the appointment is cancelled within 48 hours of the appointment.

Not at this time. However, it is worth exploring potential reimbursement options through superbills, health savings accounts (HSAs), or flexible spending accounts (FSAs). Patients should also discuss with their insurance companies to determine if any portion of the treatment can be covered or reimbursed. We will help by providing anything needed by your insurance company to help the best way we can in reimbursement.
