Revolutionary Treatments For Rapid Relief

  • Ketamine Therapy

    Ketamine therapy is an innovative, FDA-approved treatment that works rapidly to alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain. Unlike traditional medications that can take weeks to show effects, ketamine therapy often produces results within hours to days. Administered in a controlled clinical setting via IV infusion, ketamine works by creating new neural pathways in the brain, offering relief when conventional treatments have failed. Our personalized protocols ensure each patient receives the optimal dosage and care for their specific condition, all under close medical supervision.

  • Spravato

    Spravato (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray specifically developed for adults with treatment-resistant depression and major depressive disorder with suicidal thoughts. Because it carries full FDA approval for this use, most commercial insurance plans and Medicare cover Spravato treatment, a meaningful difference for patients who’ve felt priced out of other options. You’ll self-administer the nasal spray in our clinic under the supervision of our medical team, then rest comfortably for a two-hour monitoring period required by the FDA’s REMS safety program. Like IV ketamine, Spravato acts on the brain’s glutamate system to help lift depression faster than traditional antidepressants, often within weeks rather than months.
