Meet Christopher Dull, M.D. J.D.
Ketamine is never a stand-alone procedure. It is one component of comprehensive medical-psychiatric care. All IV treatments are guided in room by a board-certified clinician applying medical and psychiatric judgment in real time.
What is Ketamine?
At lower doses, ketamine can rapidly treat severe and treatment-resistant depression as well as suicidal thoughts, with improvement sometimes occurring within hours or days.
Ketamine's is different than daily medications because its benefits persist well beyond the treatments themselves, well after the medication has already left the body.
