Important Info
Same day visits are occasionally available, but the clinic asks that you call ahead.

The clinic does not directly contract with insurance companies, but instead collects the full fee at time of the visit and provides patients with a detailed receipt (“superbill”) with fees and CPT codes that can be submitted to their insurance provider for reimbursement.
Free parking is available on site.
Your Treatment: What to Expect
Ketamine sessions take place in Wesley Ryan MD and Associates’ office in one of two ways and routes of administration, as either:
An intramuscular injection along with medical monitoring by Dr. Ryan the entire time, along with contemporaneous psychotherapy (“talk therapy”) with him. These sessions last 1.5 hours (optionally 2 hours) and can be combined with a typical psychiatry follow-up visit for medication management.
A sublingual troche that is taken with a psychotherapist (Erica Siegal, LCSW) present for the entire 2 hour appointment, along with contemporaneous psychotherapy. Sublingual troches typically do not require the same level of monitoring as an intramuscular injection, so monitoring by a physician is not required for such sessions.
These treatments take place in a comfortable office, with a couch, music, and optional use of blindfolds.
