Known For: Long-established IV ketamine practice run by a UPenn-affiliated psychiatrist with over 15 years of experience treating depression in Philadelphia.

The standard 6-infusion protocol over 2–3 weeks follows established research guidelines. While pricing sits at the higher end for Philadelphia, the medical oversight here is top-tier.

Market Position: Ketamine of Philadelphia is an IV-ketamine-focused clinic in the Philadelphia metro — the most common cash-pay protocol in the HealingMaps verified directory.
