My partner suffers from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) due to failed back surgery and takes long-term, high-dose opioids. They receives 4-hour Ketamine infusions once to twice per month at Albany Ketamine Infusions, and it is one of the few times that they get a break from their constant pain. Additionally, they are prescribed Ketamine troches for daily pain. Dr. Hansen is an excellent physician--knows his stuff, is friendly, has empathy, is willing to think outside the box, and yet is very professional. I can't say enough good things about him. Office staff is very nice and accommodating, and the facilities are clean and modern. My only complaint is that his one wheel chair needs new brakes. read more

I have suffered with major depression for the last 15 years. In September 2021 my pharmacist recommended I investigate ketamine infusion therapy as a possible treatment for my depression. I have been on numerous anti-depressant drugs over the last 15 years and at best they marginally produced a benefit. Most of the time I suffered with the side effects. I researched and found Albany ketamine infusions through a Google search. I reached out to them by phone and was very pleased with the warm and understanding conversation that ensued. At the end of the call I had been set up with an appointment within a few days and emailed some forms to fill. When I Arrived I was greeted by Dr. Hansen and his staff. I was surprised that Dr. Hansen himself spent over 45 minutes with me discussing my medical and personal history to understand where I was at and how I got there. My first infusion was Administered immediately after my counseling session. If I had to describe the experience to somebody it would be "one of the most relaxing and comforting hour I had in a very long time" At the end of the infusion I was given all the time I needed to recollect myself. I returned for five additional infusions but the magic happened the morning after my third session. Good morning after I woke and for the first time in over a decade I felt like my old self. I have energy, focus and a joy for life again. It was a transformative experience. The fog of my depression was lifted and I felt awesome. It has been six months since I started with Albany Ketamine Infusions and I actually feel better than I did the morning I woke. After my six sessions I have returned for two more infusions. If you are suffering from untreatable depression, post traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder or anxiety, don't hesitate, pick up the phone and call them. It was life-changing for me my only regret is not knowing that they existed. If it hadn't been for a random conversation with my pharmacist I still would not know about ketamine or Albany Ketamine Infusions. I'm not living with depression any longer. I still take a low dose of an anti-depressant but my view of the world and myself is completely different. read more

Albany Ketamine Infusions provides services that give people their lives back. I've been suffering with depression for years. Until recently it was well controlled with oral medication. I got to a place where depression started to impact every aspect of my life: work, relationships, my ability to think clearly, motivation, etc....I couldn't get an appointment to see my provider for 2 weeks, and I was facing a possible hospitalization. I was desperate and researched my options. Being that this option isn't the standard of care, I was a little wary but figured I didn't have anything to lose. I went into my first appointment with an open mind. My first time calling I was greeted by Kemi, a warm and compassionate person who truly listened to me. She even moved my appointment up closer so I could get in sooner. When I arrived, I was taken care of quickly. Dr. Hansen listened to me and made me feel heard. They were able to make sure everything worked for me and I was comfortable. I was given all the time needed to ask questions. The infusions are hard to describe. It's like they bring you to a place in your mind where you can think clearly and positively. I can't pinpoint when I started to feel better but it was after the 5th infusion I believe. It's like the brain fog lifted. Instead of waking up in the morning and thinking, "what do I have to get through today?" I find I'm waking up and I'm excited about what's in store. My one wish is that this treatment becomes available to more people. This was truly life changing for me, allowed me to maintain employment, and got me out of a bout of major depression. Thank you, Albany Ketamine! read more

Dr. Hansen and his staff are compassionate and knowledgeable. I feel 'heard' at Albany Ketamine. These treatments have extended my life, returning a quality I thought was no longer within my reach. Albany Ketamine is a game changer! Together we have calmed my C.R.P.S. I cannot recommend Albany Ketamine strongly enough. Thank you Dr. Hansen. Tamara Thompson read more

I'm very thankful for my positive experiences here. The doctor and staff are very warm and professional. I strongly recommend this Facility for anyone seeking help from depression and anxiety. read more

Highly effective treatment that has long lasting effects. I highly recommend going if you have the opportunity. Most insurances won't cover it, but the cost pays for itself when you don't need to pay for SSRI's every month. read more

Dr Hansen and Dr Atkinson are professional and caring, and even though my husband and I are both lawyers and we asked a lot of questions and I can be a pretty sqeamish and picky patient, the treatments turned out well and I was very comfortable here. We ended up trusting these doctors fully. They know what they're doing, and they seem to be doing it because they want to help people who need their expertise. I went there for severe refractory depression. I did not enjoy the dissociation I had during the entire infusions, but Dr Hansen and my psychiatrist were helpful, and the treatments lifted the depression when nothing else did. Dr Hansen's qualifications and manner are top-notch, and these are very important with ketamine infusions. We did a lot of research before and during this process, and we wouldn't recommend going anywhere else if you're considering ketamine infusions for depression or pain. The info on the Ketamine Advocacy Network was also helpful. read more
