HealingMaps Take: Cienega Medical occupies a unique position in LA’s ketamine landscape — wellness-positioned rather than psychiatric, with three boutique locations (West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Calabasas) and \”Serving LA since 2010\” tenure. Treatments run 45–60 minutes total with a 20–40 minute ketamine experience at $650. This is off-label use framed around stress, burnout, and high-performer relaxation — not a substitute for psychiatric ketamine therapy. Worth knowing what category you’re looking for before booking.
Market Position: Cienega Medical is one of LA’s longest-running wellness ketamine providers (since 2010) — a spa-positioned model distinct from the psychiatric ketamine clinics that dominate the LA market. Three locations covering West Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Calabasas.
Is Cienega Medical Right for You?
✓ Choose Cienega Medical if:
- You’re a high-performing professional or creative seeking ketamine for stress, burnout, or relaxation — not psychiatric crisis
- You prefer a boutique wellness setting (spa-like environment) over a clinical psychiatric setting
- You’re located in West Hollywood, Santa Monica, or Calabasas
- You value the longest-tenured wellness-ketamine operator in LA (Cienega has run this model since 2010)
✗ Look elsewhere if:
- Your ketamine indication is treatment-resistant depression, severe PTSD, or other diagnosed psychiatric conditions — Cienega’s positioning is wellness, not psychiatric care
- You need insurance-covered ketamine — Cienega is cash-pay only at $650 per session
- You need Spravato or formal ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)

About Cienega Medical
Cienega Medical operates three LA-area locations: the West Hollywood flagship at 375 N. La Cienega Blvd, plus locations at 902 Broadway in Santa Monica and 26787 Agoura Rd in Calabasas. The practice has operated in LA since 2010 under Medical Director Dr. Neal Kumar, MD, MBA, FAAD.
The ketamine offering is positioned as a wellness experience rather than psychiatric care. Sessions last 45 to 60 minutes total, with the ketamine experience itself running 20 to 40 minutes. The clinic’s marketing emphasizes stress relief, mental clarity, and relaxation for busy professionals, creatives, and high-performers experiencing burnout.
Treatment cost is $650 per session. The practice does not offer Spravato (esketamine), formal ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), or IM/oral ketamine routes. The off-label framing is explicit on their site — Cienega positions ketamine as part of a broader wellness service menu alongside Botox, hydration, and other med-spa treatments.
Patients seeking diagnostic-driven psychiatric ketamine therapy for treatment-resistant depression, severe PTSD, or other diagnosed conditions should evaluate the LA psychiatric ketamine clinics (KCLA, Phos Wellness, BNI, Mental Health Center) rather than the wellness-positioned Cienega model. To explore Cienega’s wellness ketamine service, call (323) 655-8220.
