HealingMaps Take: DENT Neurologic Institute is one of the premier neurology practices in Western New York and brings serious medical infrastructure to ketamine therapy. Its Division of Neuropsychiatry, led by Dr. Horacio Capote, operates a dedicated ketamine clinic that offers IV ketamine, Spravato (esketamine) and TMS for treatment-resistant depression and related psychiatric conditions, alongside the institute’s long-standing headache and pain programs. Patients in the Buffalo area benefit from having a large, established medical institution offering all three interventional lanes under one roof rather than a standalone cash-pay clinic. Use the behavioral health line, (716) 961-9204, for ketamine and Spravato intake.
Market Position: DENT Neurologic Institute is one of the few Buffalo-metro providers offering IV ketamine, Spravato and TMS in a single program — the insurance-billed Spravato and TMS lanes sit alongside self-pay IV infusions.

Patient Questions about DENT Neurologic Institute
This 2-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions DENT Neurologic Institute treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
Is DENT Neurologic Institute suited for treatment-resistant depression?
DENT Neurologic Institute treats treatment-resistant depression through its ketamine clinic with three options: IV ketamine (off-label, usually self-pay), Spravato (esketamine, FDA-approved and typically insurance-billed with prior authorization) and TMS. TRD is typically defined as two or more prior antidepressant trials without sufficient response — patients meeting that bar are best candidates here.
Does DENT Neurologic Institute treat chronic pain conditions?
Yes — DENT Neurologic Institute 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.
I started going to the Ketamine clinic for CRPS and the clinic isn’t setup for anyone with this disease because they don’t have a doctor there to titrate the dosage of Ketamine that a CRPS patient requires to treat the patient the way they should be treated. I had spent ten thousand dollars only to find out that after nine months they only raised my dosage once. Dent needs to take this disease off their website so that someone else doesn’t go there thinking they will get the help they need. I feel like they took advantage of me and now I have to start over and spend alot more money to get the treatment I should have already gotten.
Sign me saddened and very disappointed with Dent I thought they were a better Neurological Institute. If anyone else is thinking of using this clinic I would suggest calling other Ketamine clinics to make sure that Dent isn’t wasting your money and time wasting your money and time.
