"I have had a very positive experience at West Coast Ketamine. The staff was professional, caring, and created a safe space for me to share my concerns. I felt listened to and supported throughout my treatment journey. The treatment options are very flexible and the nurses are just the kindest. This treatment has empowered me to take back my life and see that I can be happy. I would recommend this place to anyone seeking mental health support."

"It’s been almost a year now since my Ketamine series with Dr. Botkiss and his staff. Wow did ketamine really help boost me out of a dark place! I had struggled with on and off treatment resistant anxiety and depression for 8 years. This last year the depression got so bad I was looking for something new to help! I had been working with therapists and psychiatrists for years trying new medications and treatment modalities. I stumbled across ketamine treatment and asked my psychiatrist about it and she said I should give it a try. And I’m SO GLAD I did!! I was so nervous to begin ketamine treatment. It felt like a final resort to my depression and that I had exhausted all options. It is an expensive thing to try as well but I promise it is worth it!! It also felt like ketamine is such a taboo topic that it kept me from trying it. I wished I had had people to talk to or reviews to read so I could feel more comfortable. Ketamine was exactly what I needed to get a new perspective on life. My perfectionistic tendencies had started to rule my life and take me away from true happiness. I had driven myself so deep in a depression hole, I was having suicidal ideations and had no clue had to get my passion for life back. Between weekly therapy sessions and the addition of ketamine sessions I got my soul and spirit back again!! After my FIRST session of ketamine my dad picked me up and immediately noticed a change in my behavior. I was happy and had energy and wanted to go out to dinner right then. For months I could barely leave the house. The fact I wanted to go out to dinner and was smiling was shocking!! I felt the effects of the ketamine immediately. It was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. With each treatment I felt more free. I felt less shame. Depression can really fool you. My ketamine sessions were so inspiring and positive! I would re think my childhood trauma, I would dream about a beautiful future, I would create grace and understanding for my flaws during these sessions. Ultimately I became less hard on myself. I feel ketamine gave me a new perspective on life and helped me find my purpose again. I was always chasing huge goals and waiting for happiness to come. Ketamine brought me back to the present. It is so hard to explain! But I hope my experience can help someone else. I was 26 years old during ketamine treatment and felt like my twenties had been ruined by my depression. Finally I feel like I have my life back and I feel I have a place I can go again for treatment if things get hard. I am so thankful for Dr.Botkiss and his staff! This treatment is amazing! I highly recommend it as something to augment weekly therapy and medication from your psychiatrist. You need to put the work in but Ketamine will give you that extra push out of the dark place!!"

"I had my initial series in September 2021 and will forever be grateful for the life-changing/saving gift of ketamine infusions! Having gone through childhood trauma and experienced shame and self-hatred from being a closeted gay man, I felt hopeless and helpless. The morning after my first infusion, I had ZERO negative self-talk in my head. There were some ups and downs as the traumas resurfaced, but it helped me heal. I have done several maintenance infusions if I have not been taking time to do self-care, and they give me the boost to keep pushing forward in a challenging world, instead of being stuck in depression. I highly recommend for those who struggle with depression or PTSD."

"I have had over 20 treatments at West Coast and have had great experiences! The nurses have always been extremely supportive and friendly, making the environment and experience feel safe and comfortable. Dr. Botkiss has been available and accessible whenever I have needed to speak with him about my treatment process. Additionally, he is takes time to address any and all concerns regarding the ketamine treatments, or the treatment process in general. The staff and facility are amazing overall!"
