New Tele Doc – Washington, DC Ketamine Clinics

✓ Last verified: February 16, 2026 — Edited & verified by Angelica Bottaro for HealingMaps Editorial Staff

Known For: New Tele Doc is a mental health clinic in Washington DC’s Dupont Circle area that provides ketamine infusion therapy for patients who have not responded to traditional treatments. Led by Dr. Rama Prayaga, the clinic emphasizes comprehensive and culturally competent mental health care. Their approach combines ketamine therapy with broader psychiatric services to address treatment-resistant mood disorders and suicidal ideation.

HealingMaps Take: New Tele Doc offers ketamine infusion therapy in a convenient Dupont Circle location, just blocks from the Metro. Dr. Prayaga’s emphasis on culturally competent care is a meaningful differentiator in DC’s diverse community. While public reviews are limited, the clinic’s integrated approach — combining ketamine with broader psychiatric services — can benefit patients who need coordinated mental health care. Prospective patients should schedule a consultation to discuss their specific needs and treatment expectations, as the limited online presence makes it harder to assess the practice from reviews alone.

Market Position: New Tele Doc treats both depression and PTSD — the two most common ketamine therapy indications, accounting for 34% of HealingMaps patient inquiries.

Patient Questions about New Tele Doc

This question is matched to the conditions New Tele Doc treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.

Does New Tele Doc treat PTSD?

Yes — New Tele Doc 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.
