The Optimum Ketamine Center staff, providing ketamine infusions from Lombard, IL, understand that living with depression can make “every turn in life difficult.” With a 50-year track record of safety as an emergency anesthetic, ketamine is now understood to have a profound effect on the ability of the brain to heal from the damage of treatment resistant and/or chronic health conditions.
Ketamine also produces a marked decrease in suicidal ideations, sometimes after only one treatment. For some of the millions of Americans who suffer from depression, mainstream oral medications simply do not offer the relief that is needed to live a happy and productive life. IV ketamine infusion at the Optimum Ketamine Center is research-driven alternative with a 70 percent success rate under laboratory conditions.
With a combined 20 years of experience, Optimum Ketamine Center co-founders Dr. June Lee and Dr. Joseph Belmonte combine their expertise in the areas of anesthesiology and interventional pain medicine to provide safe and reliable treatment plans for each individual client.
The two doctors bring an impressive array of credentials and qualifications to the clinic, all of which combine with the professional and comfortable environment to create a welcoming and productive experience for all. Treatment-resistant conditions can keep individuals from achieving happiness and fulfillment in their lives despite medication and therapy.
The Optimum Ketamine Center ketamine infusions provide another choice of medication for sufferers and their caregiving team.
