Conklin Clinics – Aberdeen, South Dakota Ketamine Clinics, Spravato Clinics

Known For: Multi-specialty clinic serving rural northeastern South Dakota. Both IV ketamine and Spravato available. Cites a 60-80% response rate for ketamine therapy.

HealingMaps Take: Conklin Clinics represents something rare and valuable in American healthcare: a rural provider bringing cutting-edge psychiatric treatment to a community that would otherwise be entirely underserved. Aberdeen, South Dakota — population roughly 28,000 — is not the kind of city where you’d expect to find both IV ketamine infusions and Spravato available. But Ginger Conklin, DNP, built exactly that. The clinic’s multi-specialty model, combining ketamine and Spravato with counseling and medication management, means patients in northeastern South Dakota can receive comprehensive mental health care without driving three hours to Sioux Falls or Fargo. The fact that Spravato is available here is particularly significant — as an FDA-approved, insurance-coverable treatment, it provides a more affordable entry point for patients who might not be able to afford out-of-pocket IV ketamine. The clinic cites a 60-80% response rate for ketamine therapy, consistent with published research. For anyone in the Aberdeen, Watertown, or Huron corridor, Conklin Clinics eliminates the geographic barrier to advanced psychiatric treatment.

Patient Review

“The staff is friendly, welcoming, helpful, and very professional. Having ketamine treatment available right here in Aberdeen meant I didn’t have to drive hours for help when I needed it most.”

What People Don’t Like

KAP is not offered. Specific pricing is not published online. Aberdeen’s remote location means patients from other parts of the state still face a significant drive.
