Ketamine Clinics Los Angeles 6801 Park Terrace, Los Angeles, CA 90045

"Ketamine therapy has been genuinely life changing. It has had a tremendous impact on me, I have suffered with life-long suicidal ideation and It has been critical in shifting many of the symptoms of my chronic "medication resistant" depression, freeing me of suicidality and my overall feelings of worth and right / willingness to exist. The staff at the clinic are extremely empathetic, intentional about every detail of the treatment, trauma informed, trans-friendly, and culturally responsive. It's been a miracle to find such a gem of a team and have this treatment covered by my insurance provider. I went to an inaccessible place in Orange County before that was so awful the staff was incompetent with basic things like pronouns and asked extremely inappropriate invasive and activating questions that had no relevancy to the service provision on top of costing $600 a session out of pocket, therefore I was only able to receive 4 inconsistent sessions which were of minimal support. I feel eternal gratitude for this new and deeply healing process. I am shifting into a less consistent maintenance schedule now but hoping this newfound levity and improved balance can stay forever. I know healing is a lifelong journey and one’s environment etc can factor into our wellness but I am still hopeful bc this clinic; it’s technology, staff, and accommodations have helped me reset and find a healthy baseline, something I have never been able to tap into before. TY KCLA!!! ❤️ I am recommending this clinic to everyone in need of this level of care bc I know they will be treated with dignity, kindness, compassion, and true individualized support."

"Outstanding care, warm and expert staff and truly professional facility. KCLA just celebrated 10 years providing ketamine infusion (IV) therapy for treatment-resistant depression. I checked 2 other highly rated providers. One seemed good, one seemed in transition or simply not good. The names can be confusing. KCLA is the BEST, most experienced. Dr. Tashkandi consulted via phone with me within 24 hours of my inquiry, providing full information asks answering all my questions. Arriving, the offices are bright and absolutely professional in appearance and staffing. Intake was thorough, the Victoria (RN) showed me to my treatment room and walked me through it all. Victoria is simply AMAZING! Then Dr. Tashkandi, who's great, stopped in for too confirm dosage and give his final OK. For me, the initial session was a bit scary because it was impossible to fully prepare for the feelings and sensations. The second session was actually enjoyable and I started feeling benefits afterwards. (Very quick!) Bottom line: You want to be in a facility operated by and staffed with people who really care and whom you can fully trust. KCLA is the the ONLY PLACE to go."

"When I found out that my insurance would cover the ketamine infusion treatment I was like oh my gosh there is something else for me to try. I have suffered since I was a kid and I am 64 years old with treatment, resistant, depression, panic disorder, PTSD, anxiety, and so on. First, I just like to talk about the staff everybody there is so kind and always there to help. I have to say without my nurse Kevin I would not have gotten through it.. He is one of the kindest, compassionate people that I've ever met. I'm not an easy case probably like everybody else, but he was very patient with me, and I am so grateful. . My mood trend has improved. I haven't had this for a long time. I didn't respond to the medication right away. I'm kind of a late bloomer, but now that it is kicking in, I can tell there is a difference with me. I have a lot of stress in my life and I was so happy when I found out I could try this and without it I don't think I would be out of my bedroom. I'm not saying I'm completely cured I have to continue on with my therapy , get into some groups, something I never wanted to do because of my anxiety depression getting out but now I think depression / anxiety groups would help me continue getting well.. I'm waiting on a referral to get a few more treatments since I was late Responding. I'm excited now to think that, maybe just maybe my life will have some peace that I can shut my brain down, which I have already noticed that sometimes I can tune bad things out. I can only attribute this To the ketamine treatment. I would like to thank everybody at Ketamine treatment so much and hopefully see you soon for a few more treatments and then if I need boosters later. Susan Stanley."

"They do it right here. They are very careful, safe, and patient. They are committed to helping people get better which takes time and support, not getting as many people in and out of the door as fast as possible. The staff really believe in the treatment and have seen or experienced first hand how miraculous it is when other treatments have failed. I really appreciate how they have enough staff and rooms that the nurses have time to answer questions and listen if you do want to talk about your experience. After your infusion is over they don't rush you out of the room, you can take as long as you need to gather your thoughts and come back to normal. You wouldn't be able to get the most out of your treatment if you were rushed. My main nurse was Edith, who gave me a huge amount of time and support, and Julian and Kevin were very supportive too. They are all engaged with and committed to the process. Ketamine works through chemistry but they encourage you to engage with the experience and think about things during your infusion and between treatments. The ketamine treatment worked when nothing else has. I have tried all of the medications including mao-i's, and TMS, and nothing worked. When I came to KCLA I could not imagine not feeling depressed and now I can think about having a future. Getting the most out of the treatment takes commitment in time and effort and transport and facing things, but it's given me my life back. I would not want to go to another clinic, they are paying attention to what works and know what they're doing here."

"A near-miracle treatment with a fantastic staff. Can’t beat that! Everything done is gently and respectfully. The actual infusions are powerful and effective, and the dose can be changed (to a limited extent) on the fly. Staff is knowledgeable and caring, they actually remember you and your stories. Almost all are great at inserting IVs. Just some people with dehydrated difficult sticks and rolling veins may have a harder time here. But still they try to minimize pain, getting help if things are too tough. I love the nurse staff. They are universally cool, and have had experienced the treatment you’re about to go through, so they can speak knowledgeably about it. Only disappointed is that there’s not a little more continuity of care between the staff - it would be nice sometimes to keep the same nurse throughout, but it is also great meeting ones you don’t know. Gets you a different perspective. It would also be nice if the person who catches you at the end, so to speak, would be consistent. Some integration therapy work at the end of the infusion would be stellar, truly stellar. Sort of just walking oneself out of the clinic cools down the positive feelings just a bit. But still I have brought a family member here after I had a such a good experience. It took about 12-13 treatments (a lot), but then I rocketed out of my depression faster than any type of depression treatment before. Thanks for everything you guys, I won’t forget you."
