✓ Last verified: March 30, 2026 — Edited & verified by Angelica Bottaro for HealingMaps Editorial Staff

Known For: Kismet Ketamine Clinic is Baton Rouge’s only dedicated ketamine clinic, offering IV infusions for both mood disorders (40–45 minute sessions) and chronic pain management (up to 4-hour sessions). The clinic reports that ketamine infusions effectively alleviate symptoms in up to 70% of patients where other treatments have failed.

HealingMaps Take: As Baton Rouge’s only dedicated ketamine clinic, Kismet fills an important gap in Louisiana’s capital city. Their differentiated approach—offering both short mood-disorder infusions and extended 4-hour chronic pain protocols—shows clinical sophistication. While the clinic is newer and still building its review base, the 70% response rate for treatment-resistant patients makes it worth exploring for Baton Rouge-area residents.

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

Patient Questions about Kismet Ketamine Clinic

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

Is Kismet Ketamine Clinic suited for treatment-resistant depression?

Kismet Ketamine 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 Kismet Ketamine Clinic treat chronic pain conditions?

Yes — Kismet Ketamine 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 Kismet Ketamine Clinic treat PTSD?

Yes — Kismet Ketamine 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 Kismet Ketamine Clinic help with anxiety disorders?

Yes — Kismet Ketamine 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.
