Patient Questions about Amanda Itzkoff MD
This 5-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Amanda Itzkoff MD treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
What ketamine protocols does Amanda Itzkoff MD offer?
Amanda Itzkoff MD offers Spravato and KAP — a 2-protocol practice. Patients can switch between or combine modalities without changing providers. Confirm specific dosing schedules and which protocols are recommended for your condition during your consult.
Does Amanda Itzkoff MD offer Spravato (esketamine)?
Yes — Amanda Itzkoff MD offers Spravato, which means they’re FDA REMS-certified and maintain the required two-hour in-office monitoring window after each dose. Spravato is the primary insurance-covered ketamine option for treatment-resistant depression. Worth confirming the prior-authorization timeline before booking your first session.
Does Amanda Itzkoff MD offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)?
Yes — Amanda Itzkoff MD offers KAP, which combines ketamine dosing with structured psychotherapy during the dissociative window. KAP sessions are longer than standalone infusions and priced accordingly. A reasonable consult question: whether KAP is delivered by a single integrated provider, or by a separate therapist working with the prescribing clinician.
Is Amanda Itzkoff MD suited for treatment-resistant depression?
Amanda Itzkoff MD treats depression via Spravato (FDA-approved for TRD), and KAP for trauma-anchored depression. The Spravato pathway is the most likely to obtain commercial insurance coverage. TRD is typically defined as two or more prior antidepressant trials without sufficient response — patients meeting that bar are best candidates here.
Can Amanda Itzkoff MD help with anxiety disorders?
Yes — Amanda Itzkoff MD treats anxiety, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder. The evidence base for ketamine in anxiety is less robust than for depression, but it can be a meaningful option for patients who haven’t responded to SSRIs or benzodiazepines. Worth asking which of their protocols they typically recommend for anxiety-primary patients.
