HealingMaps Take: Mt. Baker Medical’s differentiator is simple: the physician is in the room. Dr. Scribner screens, doses, and monitors every IV ketamine session himself — no delegation to non-physician staff and explicitly no mail-order lozenges — which matters for the emergency-medicine-grade safety margin ketamine deserves. The concierge model means the same doctor handles a patient’s primary care, and the free consultation lowers the bar to finding out whether IV ketamine fits. For Bellingham and Whatcom County, it’s the physician-led boutique option.
Market Position: Mt. Baker Medical occupies the physician-administered concierge slot in the Bellingham market — IV ketamine inside a primary-care and longevity practice, differentiated by direct MD administration of every session and the Fairhaven concierge setting.

Patient Review
“Dr. Scribner did my screening himself, started every IV himself, and stayed close through each session — after reading about mail-order ketamine apps, that level of physician attention was exactly what I wanted. Having him also manage my primary care is a bonus I didn’t expect.”
