Ketamine therapy offers hope for those struggling with treatment-resistant depression.
For many patients who haven't found relief with conventional antidepressant medications or psychotherapy modalities, intravenous (IV) ketamine infusions can provide significant symptom improvement in a short period of time.
By targeting specific receptors in the brain, ketamine can alleviate symptoms that haven't responded to other treatments. This innovative approach allows for sooner relief with depressive symptoms.

What to Expect
Our team of highly qualified physicians ensures your safety and comfort throughout the treatment process.
Before Treatment
01
Double board-certified psychiatrist and interventional pain medicine physician, Dr. Rohit Aiyer, conducts an initial comprehensive evaluation and screening to ensure you are an appropriate patient for IV ketamine.
If Dr. Aiyer determines you are a candidate and would greatly benefit from their treatments, you will need medical clearance guided by Dr. Mehta. This can consist of blood and urine lab testing, and other diagnostic testing as deemed necessary. Once cleared, then they will help you promptly schedule your treatment sessions.
During Treatment
02
Under the expert care of board-certified emergency physician Dr. Mehta, your ketamine infusion experience will be much more comfortable than expected. Our calming space is designed to promote relaxation and minimize distractions, creating an ideal therapeutic environment.
Within minutes of the infusion, you'll feel deeply relaxed while remaining conscious and able to communicate. The experience is generally pleasant, though some mild, temporary side effects are possible.
After Treatment
03
After the ketamine infusion, expect to be monitored for an average of 10-30 minutes. Typically, the higher the dose or the longer the treatment sessions, the longer the time of monitoring needed before a patient can be safely discharged to their driver.
