Clarus Health – San Francisco, California Ketamine Clinics, Spravato Clinics

✓ Last verified: March 18, 2026 — Edited & verified by Angelica Bottaro for HealingMaps Editorial Staff

Known For: Bay Area’s only center combining IV Ketamine, Stellate Ganglion Block, NAD+, and HRT — led by Stanford-Harvard trained physicians with 90%+ symptom relief rate

HealingMaps Take: Clarus Health distinguishes itself as the Bay Area’s only clinic offering ketamine alongside Stellate Ganglion Block and NAD+ therapy under one roof. Led by Stanford and Harvard-trained physicians Dr. Anthony Kaveh and Dr. Sneha Shrestha, the clinic reports over 90% of patients achieve profound symptom relief, with most experiencing 4–6 months of sustained improvement. Their holistic multi-modality approach may benefit patients who haven’t responded to ketamine alone.

Market Position: Clarus Health is a Spravato-certified clinic in the Francisco metro. Spravato (esketamine) is the FDA-approved ketamine treatment that most commercial insurance plans cover after prior authorization — unlike cash-pay IV ketamine.

What to Expect at Your First Clarus Health Appointment

1. Initial intake call — Insurance verification, prior authorization workflow (Spravato requires documentation of failure on at least two antidepressant trials), and clinical eligibility check. Schedule via clarus-health.com.
2. Medical evaluation — in-person or telehealth psychiatric assessment, vitals check, and review of current medications with the Clarus Health clinical team.
3. First treatment session — supervised IV ketamine infusion in a private treatment room, lasting approximately 60–90 minutes (40-minute infusion + recovery). Sessions are held at 450 Sutter St, Suite 1504, San Francisco, CA 94108. You’ll have a comfortable chair or recliner, dim lighting, and direct medical monitoring throughout.
4. Recovery and follow-up — observation period after dosing, mood check-in with the clinical team, and scheduling your next session. Arrange for a ride home; do not drive for 24 hours after your IV session.

Patient Questions about Clarus Health

This 6-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Clarus Health treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.

What ketamine protocols does Clarus Health offer?

Clarus Health offers Spravato and IV ketamine — 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 Clarus Health offer Spravato (esketamine)?

Yes — Clarus Health 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.

Is Clarus Health suited for treatment-resistant depression?

Clarus Health treats depression via Spravato (FDA-approved for TRD), and IV ketamine (off-label, evidence-based). 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.

Does Clarus Health treat chronic pain conditions?

Yes — Clarus Health treats chronic pain. They use IV ketamine for pain, which typically means longer infusion times and higher cumulative doses than mental-health protocols. Common indications include complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), fibromyalgia, and certain neuropathic pain syndromes. Pain pricing varies significantly by structure: per-infusion vs. multi-day inpatient packages — verify how this clinic structures their billing.

Does Clarus Health treat PTSD?

Yes — Clarus Health treats PTSD. Both Spravato and IV ketamine can be used for trauma. Ketamine for trauma differs from depression treatment: dosing is often lower per session, and pairing the protocol with trauma-focused therapy between sessions is common. A reasonable consult question: whether PTSD patients here typically use ketamine alone or alongside an outside therapist.

Can Clarus Health help with anxiety disorders?

Yes — Clarus Health 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.
