Beaverton, Oregon’s Cornell Pain Clinic provides ketamine therapy to patients seeking treatment for chronic pain and/or hard to treat mental health conditions. The staff is dedicated to helping clients “restore function and improve…quality of life” through the use of leading-edge therapies.
Ketamine infusion therapy helps to rewrite and repair parts of the brain damaged by chronic and treatment-resistant conditions, providing quick and often long-lasting relief.
Dr. Suresh Chand directs the Cornell Pain Clinic. Dr. Chand is dual-certified in both pain management and psychiatry, vital areas of expertise in the use of ketamine therapy. Dr. Chand is also a serving physician in the U.S. Army Reserve Medical Corps. With a wide body of knowledge drawn from education in both India and the U.S., Dr. Chand and his team bring to the Beaverton area a compassionate and comfortable environment in which to seek out relief from treatment-resistant conditions.
The Cornell Pain Clinic is a professional alternative for those whose experiences with traditional practices have left them disappointed.
An 80 percent deposit is required when you schedule your infusion appointment. The remainder of the balance is due on the day of your infusion. See full pricing below.
Cornell Pain Clinic accepts cash or credit card, including Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. Most insurance providers do not cover ketamine infusions. Check with your provider for more details.
Patients on MAOIs should not undergo ketamine therapy. High-dose benzodiazepines may interfere with the effectiveness of treatment. Consult your prescribing physician before stopping any medications.
It is mandatory to have a trusted friend or family member to accompany you to each treatment.
Your Treatment: What to Expect
At your initial appointment at the Cornell Pain Clinic, Dr. Chand will perform a thorough mental and physical health screening, ensuring that ketamine is a safe and effective route of treatment for each individual patient. Importantly, “[e]xpectations coming into the treatment do affect the experience; so, it is helpful to decide ahead of time that you will be safe and will feel ‘weird’ for a short time.” Some patients experience lightness, dizziness, or feelings of dissociation, but these, and any other side effects, dissipate soon after treatment ends.
Treatments are generally six infusions, with follow-up treatments 4-8 weeks after the end of the initial series.
Who is this treatment for?
If conventional treatments for chronic pain or mental health conditions have not resulted in a better quality of life, ketamine infusion therapy at the Cornell Pain Clinic offers a safe, effective, and research-tested alternative. Ketamine acts to repair areas of the brain that have been repeatedly damaged by treatment-resistant conditions. Unlike opiates, which can increase sensitivity to pain over time, ketamine helps the body to recognize and repair pain receptors that may be traumatized. Ketamine is a safe and effective route to relief, either as an alternative to or as a supplement to mainstream practices.
