Important Info:
You do not need a referral from a psychiatrist or mental health professional to receive treatment at AMG Ketamine and Wellness, though the clinic is more than willing to coordinate your care with your healthcare team.

The consultation fee charged upon your initial appointment will be applied towards your first infusion.
Your Treatment: What to Expect
A consultation with an AMG Ketamine and Wellness physician will determine if you’re a good candidate for ketamine infusion therapy. If treatment is recommended, your intravenous infusion will take place at the clinic in a room with low lighting while you’re sitting in a comfortable reclining chair listening to soft music. Over approximately a one-hour period, you’ll receive ketamine continuously through an IV. If necessary, you can also be given other medications such as propofol to make the experience pleasant and to prevent nausea.
Patients often describe the infusion as relaxing, noting a floating sensation. Others feel some anxiety or disorientation. The entire time, a nurse will be in continuous attendance, monitoring your vital signs and making sure the infusion goes smoothly. A board-certified anesthesiologist is also on-site and always immediately available should any difficulties, which are rare, arise.
You must have an adult to drive you home after the appointment, and you cannot drive or operate heavy machinery for 24 hours post-treatment.
For mood disorders, generally, a series of six infusions are given to a new patient over a three-week period. Once the initial course of treatment is completed, many patients need “booster” or maintenance infusions to continue receiving the beneficial effects of ketamine. The time period between maintenance infusions varies widely, from approximately every 4 weeks to many months between infusions.
