HealingMaps Take: Wele Clinic brings a comfort-forward approach to ketamine therapy in Manhattan. Under the direction of Dr. Mehdi Omidvari, a board-certified adult psychiatrist, the clinic pairs medical expertise with patient experience details that matter — including zero-gravity chairs and advanced monitoring technology. Patients consistently describe the environment as calming and the care as deeply attentive.
Market Position: Wele Clinic is a Spravato-certified clinic in the City metro. Spravato (esketamine) is the FDA-approved ketamine treatment that most commercial insurance plans cover after prior authorization — unlike cash-pay IV ketamine.
Is Wele Clinic Right for You?
✓ Choose Wele Clinic if:
- You have commercial insurance and a documented treatment-resistant depression diagnosis (Spravato pathway)
- You want supervised IV ketamine with real-time medical monitoring
- You’re treating co-occurring depression and PTSD
✗ Look elsewhere if:
- You want ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) with integrated talk therapy
- You need same-week appointments — Spravato prior authorization typically takes 1–3 weeks
- You’re seeking ketamine for chronic pain (this clinic focuses on mental health)

What to Expect at Your First Wele Clinic Appointment
- Initial intake call — Insurance verification, prior authorization workflow (Spravato requires documentation of failure on at least two antidepressant trials), and clinical eligibility check. Call (646) 874-9340 to schedule.
- Medical evaluation — in-person or telehealth psychiatric assessment, vitals check, and review of current medications with the Wele Clinic clinical team.
- First treatment session — supervised IV ketamine infusion in a private treatment room, lasting approximately 60–90 minutes (40-minute infusion + recovery). Sessions are held at 1123 Broadway, Suite 1117, New York, NY 10010. You’ll have a comfortable chair or recliner, dim lighting, and direct medical monitoring throughout.
- Recovery and follow-up — observation period after dosing, mood check-in with the clinical team, and scheduling your next session. Arrange for a ride home; do not drive for 24 hours after your IV session.

- What does Wele Clinic recommend for patients who don’t respond to the standard 6-session acute series?
Patient Questions about Wele Clinic
This 5-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Wele Clinic treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
What ketamine protocols does Wele Clinic offer?
Wele Clinic offers Spravato and IV ketamine — a 2-protocol practice. Patients can switch between or combine modalities without changing providers. Confirm specific dosing schedules and which protocols are recommended for your condition during your consult.
Does Wele Clinic offer Spravato (esketamine)?
Yes — Wele Clinic offers Spravato, which means they’re FDA REMS-certified and maintain the required two-hour in-office monitoring window after each dose. Spravato is the primary insurance-covered ketamine option for treatment-resistant depression. Worth confirming the prior-authorization timeline before booking your first session.
Is Wele Clinic suited for treatment-resistant depression?
Wele Clinic treats depression via Spravato (FDA-approved for TRD), and IV ketamine (off-label, evidence-based). The Spravato pathway is the most likely to obtain commercial insurance coverage. TRD is typically defined as two or more prior antidepressant trials without sufficient response — patients meeting that bar are best candidates here.
Does Wele Clinic treat PTSD?
Yes — Wele Clinic treats PTSD. Both Spravato and IV ketamine can be used for trauma. 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 Wele Clinic help with anxiety disorders?
Yes — Wele 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.
