HealingMaps Take: Pacific Phoenix gives Pierce County an interventional-psychiatry option that isn’t infusion-first: IM ketamine, insurance-billed Spravato, and TMS run inside a physician-led psychiatric practice, so medication management and treatment planning stay under one roof. The Lakewood office anchors the Tacoma metro with the group’s Vancouver locations behind it, and an MD-heavy bench — three psychiatrists plus advanced-practice providers — is uncommon at this practice size. Patients set on IV drips specifically should look at Tacoma’s infusion clinics; for device- and clinic-based depression care with psychiatric oversight, this is the Lakewood answer.
Market Position: Pacific Phoenix occupies the psychiatrist-led, multi-modality slot in the Tacoma market — IM ketamine + Spravato + TMS in one Lakewood practice, differentiated from the metro’s infusion centers by its psychiatric depth and insurance-accessible treatment menu.
Is Pacific Phoenix Right for You?
✓ Choose Pacific Phoenix if:
- You want insurance-billed Spravato or TMS for documented treatment-resistant depression
- You value psychiatrists directing care with medication management in the same practice
- IM ketamine appeals as a lower-cost alternative to IV infusion
- You’re in Lakewood, Tacoma, Steilacoom, University Place, Fircrest, or JBLM
- You want multiple FDA-cleared options — Spravato and TMS — under one roof
✗ Look elsewhere if:
- You specifically want IV ketamine infusions — Pacific Phoenix offers IM ketamine, not IV
- You’re seeking formal ketamine-assisted psychotherapy sessions
- You want at-home or oral ketamine

Patient Review
“I started on Spravato through my insurance and switched to IM ketamine when my plan changed — same office, same doctors, no starting over. Having Dr. Gonzalez-Rodriguez adjust my other medications in the same visit is what made the difference for me.”

Pacific Phoenix offers IM Ketamine + Spravato (Esketamine, REMS-certified) + TMS Therapy & Psychiatric Care. Confirm specific dosing schedules during your consult.
Does Pacific Phoenix offer Spravato (esketamine)?

Pacific Phoenix operates a medical-model program. Patients seeking explicit KAP with a licensed integration therapist should evaluate practices that pair the dosing experience with structured therapy.
