About Z&Z Wellness
Z&Z Wellness is at 114 Pepperell St., Alexandria, VA 22304, and serves patients across Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax and Northern Virginia. Call or text (703) 988-5362, or email transformation@zzwellnessva.com. Z&Z doesn’t publish office hours; it says it offers flexible scheduling, including early morning and evening appointments. To start, complete the consultation request form at zzwellnessva.com, and Zahida Samat will personally review it and reach out.
Z&Z offers ketamine by IV infusion, intramuscular (IM) injection and oral troche. IV ketamine for mood is a 45- to 60-minute infusion for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, anxiety and OCD; IM ketamine is a 30-minute session with monitoring; and IV ketamine for chronic pain is a 2-hour infusion with continuous monitoring. Z&Z’s chronic pain guide names CRPS, neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia among the conditions ketamine may help. Every patient starts with a consultation and medical evaluation, and patients need a responsible adult to drive them home after treatment. Z&Z also provides medical ketamine prescribing for patients in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), in collaborative care with their own therapist.
Z&Z offers Spravato (esketamine) for treatment-resistant depression as well. Under the FDA label, each dose is taken in the clinic under supervision, followed by at least two hours of monitoring, so patients need a ride home. Z&Z says insurance benefits and any required authorization are addressed before Spravato treatment begins. Zahida Samat, MSN, AGPCNP-C, CCRN, Z&Z’s founder and clinical director, is a board-certified nurse practitioner with more than 16 years of healthcare experience, including critical care and pain management; Sajjaad Samat, MD, a board-certified general surgeon, is medical director and provides clinical oversight.
Z&Z publishes its ketamine prices: $225 for the initial ketamine consultation; IV ketamine for mood at $475 per session or $2,700 for a six-session series; IV ketamine for chronic pain at $750 per session or $2,100 to $3,600 for a three- to five-session series; IM ketamine at $400 per session or $2,250 for a six-session series; maintenance or booster sessions at $300 to $350; and a compounded troche maintenance plan at $300. Installment plans are available on the IV series, and eligible military personnel and healthcare professionals receive 10% off the ketamine consultation.
Spravato is billed to insurance; Z&Z says patients who are uninsured or have a high deductible should expect about $600 to $900 per dose. Spravato is typically covered only for depression (treatment-resistant depression, or depression with suicidal thoughts), with prior authorization. IV ketamine isn’t FDA-approved for depression and is usually self-pay; Z&Z says some of its services are private pay and superbills may be available for eligible services. To schedule, call or text (703) 988-5362 or request a consultation at zzwellnessva.com.
