HealingMaps Take: Coastal Ketamine & Aesthetics represents the boutique end of Charleston’s ketamine market. Dr. Dan Ripley has built his practice around precision dosing — the concept that ketamine’s therapeutic effect depends not just on whether you receive it but on getting the exact dose, rate, and duration calibrated to your individual neurochemistry. This contrasts with clinics that use standardized protocols (0.5 mg/kg over 40 minutes for everyone). The precision approach requires more clinical expertise and monitoring but can mean fewer sessions needed and better response rates. The Mount Pleasant location on Long Grove Drive serves the East Cooper corridor — Mount Pleasant, Sullivan’s Island, Isle of Palms, and Daniel Island — which is one of the fastest-growing and most affluent areas in the Charleston metro. The aesthetics and regenerative medicine side of the practice is a pragmatic business model addition, but it also means patients can access a holistic wellness approach under one roof. For Charleston patients who want their ketamine treatment personalized rather than standardized, Coastal is the most sophisticated option available.
Market Position: Coastal Ketamine & Aesthetics is an IV-ketamine-focused clinic in the Pleasant metro — the most common cash-pay protocol in the HealingMaps verified directory.

From the 2026 Ketamine Industry Report
HSA and FSA funds can be applied to ketamine therapy when it is prescribed for a qualifying medical condition — a frequently overlooked option given that 75% of patients pay cash. Ask your provider for a Letter of Medical Necessity to confirm eligibility with your HSA or FSA administrator before your first session.

Patient Questions about Coastal Ketamine & Aesthetics
This 4-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Coastal Ketamine & Aesthetics treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
Is Coastal Ketamine & Aesthetics suited for treatment-resistant depression?
Coastal Ketamine & Aesthetics treats depression via IV ketamine (off-label, evidence-based). Insurance coverage is rare for IV/KAP — most patients pay out of pocket. TRD is typically defined as two or more prior antidepressant trials without sufficient response — patients meeting that bar are best candidates here.
Does Coastal Ketamine & Aesthetics treat chronic pain conditions?
Yes — Coastal Ketamine & Aesthetics 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 Coastal Ketamine & Aesthetics treat PTSD?
Yes — Coastal Ketamine & Aesthetics treats PTSD. 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 Coastal Ketamine & Aesthetics help with anxiety disorders?
Yes — Coastal Ketamine & Aesthetics 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.
