Gilbert Chandler Ketamine Therapy Clinic – Gilbert, Arizona Ketamine Clinics

Known For: Gilbert Chandler Ketamine Therapy Clinic is the East Valley location of Advanced Wellness and Pain, a physician-run Arizona ketamine practice staffed entirely by board-certified physician anesthesiologists — Dr. Gregory Wong, Dr. James T. Leathem and Dr. Deepak Sharma — who rotate between this clinic and the practice’s Scottsdale location. The practice has administered more than 17,000 ketamine infusions since 2020, pioneered Arizona’s first-responder ketamine program with the 100 Club of Arizona, and holds a contract with the Phoenix VA that covers eligible Veterans at zero out of pocket.

HealingMaps Take: Gilbert Chandler Ketamine Therapy Clinic brings Gilbert Chandler Ketamine Therapy Clinic’s physician-anesthesiologist model to the East Valley: every infusion is administered by a board-certified physician anesthesiologist — not a nurse practitioner or PA — by the same three-physician team behind the practice’s 5.0-star, 150+-review record and more than 17,000 infusions since 2020. The free in-person physician consultation and the Phoenix VA contract carry over here, making this the standout physician-delivered option for Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek and Mesa patients who would otherwise drive to Scottsdale.

Market Position: Gilbert Chandler Ketamine Therapy Clinic is an IV-ketamine-focused clinic in the Phoenix East Valley — the most common cash-pay protocol in the HealingMaps verified directory.

What Sets This Clinic Apart

Two infusion lengths, not one. Most ketamine clinics run a single protocol for every patient. This practice runs 1-hour infusions for mental health indications and 2-hour infusions for chronic pain — a distinction that matters, because the evidence for pain generally supports longer, lower-rate dosing than the standard 40-minute antidepressant protocol.

Anesthesiologists, not a technician model. All three physicians are board-certified in anesthesiology, and the initial consultation is in person with a physician at no charge — which is unusual in a field where the first conversation is often a paid telehealth screen with a nurse or coordinator.

A genuine Veterans pathway. Most Veterans seeking ketamine are told to pursue a VA Community Care referral and hope it is approved. This practice holds a direct contract with the Phoenix VA, and eligible Veterans pay nothing out of pocket. If you are a Veteran, ask about this specifically when you call.

Stellate ganglion block on site. The clinic performs ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion blocks (sometimes called a dual sympathetic reset), a procedure used for PTSD and certain chronic pain conditions that comparatively few ketamine clinics offer in house.

Getting There

The clinic sits on South Val Vista Drive just off the Loop 202, which puts it within a straightforward drive of Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, Apache Junction and Mesa. Because ketamine infusions leave you unable to drive afterwards, plan for a ride home — the clinic will confirm the arrangement with you before your first appointment.

Patient Questions about Gilbert Chandler Ketamine Therapy Clinic

This 4-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Gilbert Chandler Ketamine Therapy Clinic treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.

Is Gilbert Chandler Ketamine Therapy Clinic suited for treatment-resistant depression?

Gilbert Chandler Ketamine Therapy Clinic 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 Gilbert Chandler Ketamine Therapy Clinic treat chronic pain conditions?

Yes — Gilbert Chandler Ketamine Therapy Clinic 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 Gilbert Chandler Ketamine Therapy Clinic treat PTSD?

Yes — Gilbert Chandler Ketamine Therapy Clinic 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 Gilbert Chandler Ketamine Therapy Clinic help with anxiety disorders?

Yes — Gilbert Chandler Ketamine Therapy Clinic 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.
