Rating: | Clarus Health SF - SGB Procedure, July 2025 I had the absolute pleasure of being treated by Dr. Kaveh at Clarus Health SF for a bi-lateral SGB (Stellate Ganglion Block) in July. From the moment I connected with their team, I felt respected, heard, and truly cared for. As someone who's dealt with debilitating daily migraines for years and panic disorder, I've tried almost everything -- but nothing helped long-term. Dr. Kaveh went above and beyond, spending over an hour with me during our consult and treating me with empathy I've rarely encountered in healthcare. His nurse Kelly and the entire staff were equally amazing. Both procedures (Tuesday and Friday) were done with precision and compassion. The details blew me away -- they called me "Max" on the room board (not "Maxwell"), gave me soft blankets, and welcomed my wife and kids warmly. Best IV placement I've ever had, and I walked out within 45 minutes feeling better than I had in years. He even followed up after each visit personally and helped identify lab issues unrelated to the SGB that I'm now addressing. That level of care is rare. Huge shoutout to Karma and JuJu, the sweetest dogs, who added even more comfort and love to the experience. If you're struggling and looking for answers, Clarus Health is the place to go. You won't regret it. read more

Clarus Health - My view while getting my procedure - Pain Management Near Me - San Francisco, California

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Kaveh, Dr. Shrestha, and everyone at Clarus. I did a lot of research before deciding on Clarus, even though it would be a long drive, mostly because I was impressed with the doctors' credentials and knowledge, particularly Dr Kaveh's understanding of hormone treatments, as I have had PCOS for decades. When I had my consultation with Dr Kaveh at the end of September, I was really struggling with exhaustion, vertigo, 30+ years of depression and panic attacks, anxiety, and hyper-vigilance. I had a total of five (weekly) ketamine infusions, a dual sympathetic reset (stellate ganglion blocks on both sides), as well as NAD and glutathione infusions. Five weeks after my first appointment in mid-October, I feel like a new person. I had lunch today with several old friends I hadn't seen since the beginning of summer and this is what one of them texted me this afternoon: "I loved the light that was shining on you today. You looked amazing and I could tell you felt amazing. Cheers to taking back your life!" And from another friend, who couldn't make it: " Ok... I saw the photos from the lunch today and YOU look stunning." So, you don't need to take my word for it, even though I love Clarus and I am biased. Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Kaveh's knowledge is remarkable, and his communication style is incredibly calm and grounding. The space is beautiful, and it's clear the practice centers everything around safety. read more

Always enjoy coming here and leaving feeling even better. Everyone is always so welcoming professional and accommodating! I usually do Nad+ which can be a wee bit time consuming today we opted for the NR ...way quicker and was done within a hour. I was experiencing pain due to fibromyalgia flair ups before my appointment and as soon as I stood up (after the infusion ended) I noticed it drastically made a difference..and there was a dog . Made my day better that's for sure :) read more

Clarus Health - Getting NR with a friend - Pain Management Near Me - San Francisco, California

I sought care from Dr. Kaveh and his team after suffering from an intractable migraine. I do not exaggerate when I say this office truly saved my life. They provided help when I needed it the most and were able to provide relief when absolutely nothing else was working. Dr. Kaveh and Dr. Shrestha provided a plan comprised of many different treatment options that they worked through methodically until I found relief. Their team is highly responsive unlike any medical office I have ever experienced. I always knew they were just a phone call away, and Catherine, with her incredibly lovely and warm presence, would be there to triage my call or answer my question. This journey with Dr. Kaveh has also enabled me to take a deeper dive into my broader health goals and take proactive steps to improve my health. Not only does the team at Clarus provide the best possible care to their clients, they are the most compassionate people you will ever meet. It is clear they are truly invested in helping their clients feel better, which is a breath of fresh air. I could not be more appreciative and grateful to have found them. If you're thinking about reaching out to them, I highly recommend you do it. read more

The whole staff is super kind, patient and understanding which is key for someone like me with multiple chronic conditions! They were available whenever I needed them and truly tried to understand and treat my complex condition! The ketamine treatments helped give me some mental clarity that years And years and years of therapy Couldn't do, and I Thank them infinitely For their efforts and continued efforts! If anyone wants to reach out, I'm more than happy to recommend them! read more

Dr Kaveh and Dr Shrestha quite literally gave me my life back. I was diagnosed with MS in 2000- and have experienced extreme fatigue throughout these years. On Feb 27, 2024- I ended up in bed, from the disabling fatigue. This level of fatigue was something that was hard to describe to people- even to my medical team. The fatigue forced me into my bed for 22 out 24 hours a day. I've tried all of the anti-fatigue medications my neurologists had to offer. I've tried cold baths, acupuncture, meditation, massage. And I've tried all types of talk therapy and psychiatry. I would google MS Fatigue Trials every morning from my bed for the last year. I came upon Clarus Health a month ago. I was willing to do almost anything at this point-- to fix the fatigue--so that I could get back to my classroom. I had an initial consultation with Dr Kaveh online. I felt safe; I felt comfortable; I felt heard. I've occasionally struggled to feel heard throughout my illness- because the fatigue is so invisible. But Dr Kaveh really heard me. Not only did he acknowledge, listen and respect me, he also believed he could help me. After this one conversation with Dr Kaveh, I literally trusted him with my life. I started NAD+ infusions with him later that month at Clarus Health in San Francisco. I did 6 days of NAD+. The first day, I had some side effects; the 2nd day, I was able to read without listening to the audio (which had been an issue with the fatigue); the 3rd day, I had dinner with a friend (I hadn't been able to do this in over a year); the 4th and 5th days, I was walking around San Fran for hours-- just bc I could. And on day 6, I started writing lesson plans. I'm going back to my classroom this month. (The same classroom that- one month earlier- an MS nurse had told me I would never return to). Clarus Health is the reason I can go back. Dr Shrestha, Dr Kaveh, Kelly and Catherine are kind-- right from the jump. They listen and validate what you are feeling. They are patient (especially if you have terrible veins. Ha!). They are encouraging and compassionate. They are kind and respectful. They are fun and present. They are generous. NAD+ treatments are 100% giving me my life back. I'm in my bed for 7 hours, to sleep, at night- instead of 22. I can spend time with my 2 kids, husband, sisters, friends, colleagues- out in the real world! Instead of in my bed. And I am going back to my classroom- which means everything to me. It's kinda unbelievable. And I'm so grateful. Thank you Dr Kaveh, Dr Shrestha and Kelly for helping- with kindness, intelligence, compassion, humor, generosity- to give my world back to me. read more

Dr. Kaveh has been such a critical part in my migraine treatment process. He was so thoughtful during the intake process and was really invested in understanding my unique symptoms and patterns. Before the Stellate Ganglion Block I felt that my nervous system was completely out of whack (despite access to the UCSF Headache Clinic). I immediately felt calmer after the procedure. The SGB itself didn't deliver a 100% recovery but set in the motion the positive trajectory that has changed my life. It was also Dr. Kaveh who modified my supplements plan, a factor which I think has helped reduce migraine days (no - he doesn't sell them so it's not some MLM play.) The clinic itself is A+ and everyone there is great. I highly recommend Clarus! read more

Very positive experience at Clarus health getting an NAD IV. The staff is incredibly friendly and competent, and Dr. Kaveh did an amazing job understanding my health history and customizing the NAD IV I needed. I walked away feel refreshed and energized. Would highly recommend. read more

This place knows what they're doing. I've been to several other clinics offering similar services and was dismayed at their lack of professionalism and quality control. Clarus provided a top flight customer experience with doctors and amenities that were well suited to my situation and needs. Thank you Clarus!! read more

Clarus Health is absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend it. They offer innovative and cutting edge integrative mental health modalities like Ketamine, Stellate Ganglion Block, and NAD. I found the treatments quite helpful. Dr. Kaveh and Dr. Shrestha are fantastic--highly competent and knowledgeable and as well as kind. They genuinely seem to care about each and every patient. The entire team including Kelly and Catherine are wonderful and patient-centered. I highly recommend Clarus Health. read more

Tried the Niagen IV at Clarus Health and felt a real boost in energy and clarity--way more than any supplement ever did. The staff was super knowledgeable and the clinic was clean and efficient. I've been to other places in the past with sketchy blends where I questioned the sourcing and never felt much of a difference. Clarus actually does the research, and you can feel the quality. Definitely coming back! read more

Excellent care. Very Professional. Accommodating and caring staff. They listen, and show authentic compassion. I felt very secure in their hands. read more

Two years ago i had a bought of very bad health, bad news seemed to be coming at me very hard, i fought through all the hospitalizations and tried to remain positive. Things have turned better for my health, i went back to work but things were rough mentally. I was ruminating on a host of issues, and sought care with Clarus Health. My itroductory consultation was more theraputic than i exepected, it was so good to get the validation that i was good candidate for the treatmetnt. I really appreciated the on line features for treatment planning that were offered to me, it saved a lot of hassle. The staff are super friendly and the office is a very calm and safe place for treatments. I am amazed by the effects the treatments have had on me, i have been on a spiritual journey that has amazed me. Turns out a bit of ego death is good for getting rid of ruminations :) read more

I am 75 years old and have been struggling with depression and anxiety all of my life. My health is still reasonably good, but SSRIs have ruined my sex life and it's sort of now or never for a solution. I decided on a two phase approach, using ketamine therapy followed by an "integration period" and then high-dose psilocybin therapy. The Catch-22 is that I have to be off SSRIs before I can do psilocybin therapy. They say SSRIs aren't really addictive, but in my experience the withdrawal process is a nightmare. I was hoping ketamine therapy would at least get me off SSRIs, and that has indeed been the case, thanks to the good folks at Clarus. It may not be a "cure" but it's very helpful. I have dealt with a total of five people at Clarus, and they're all ridiculously wonderful! I had my intake interview and my first ketamine infusion with Dr. Kaveh. I then had five additional ketamine sessions with Dr. Shrestha. I also had contact with an RN named Kelly, who's an absolute angel. Then there are two assistants, Ariana and Catherine, both very kind and helpful. The two doctors are thorough, caring and professional. They are not psychiatrists, but they are very sensitive and psychologically aware. I should know, because I've had a grand total of 45 years of counseling and psychotherapy. They ask a lot of questions, listen to what you say, and are very supportive. The whole setup is very supportive. They call you to remind you of your appointment and to remind you not to eat that day. They call a day or two after the session to see how you are doing. They have aromatherapy, music and lighting effects. They give you a fuzzy blanket that Linus would love. Afterwards they offer you water and snacks, since you will be hungry and dehydrated. Just unbelievable. I chose Clarus based on their reviews, even though there are a lot of ketamine clinics in the Bay Area. My wife and I had to come up from the peninsula on CalTrain because I can't drive after a session and she hates driving in San Francisco. In this case I'm glad I gave in to my OCD and obsessed over my choice of clinic. It was worth it! read more

Ten out of five stars! I was a bit nervous and uncertain to even consider ketamine treatments at first, but am so glad I did--and grateful that my doctor recommended I go to Clarus Health in particular. I've struggled with depression for decades, tried countless medications and lifestyle strategies. And yet I continued to struggle. After my first ketamine treatment I was floored: the depression lifted. For the first time in my life, I was able to go about my day to day with a lightness and easiness. I felt hope for the future. During the three weeks of treatment, I was able to make some dramatic lifestyle changes that I'd struggled for years to make, ones I believe will set me up for continued positive change. Dr Kaveh and Dr Shrestha are top-tier doctors. They and their staff are knowledgable, supportive, attentive, and kind. The experience was phenomenal, and the treatment was life-changing. Highest recommendation. read more

Hello Clarus, After years of multiple doctors and psychiatrists trying to get relief for bipolar 2 and deep depressive episodes, I was eventually diagnosed with TRD, Treatment-resistant depression, I had been prescribed and tried in the area of 2 dozen antidepressants, SSRIs, and Tryciclyics plus benzodiazepines. I went into this round of infusions in a deep depression and found relief after the first 3 infusions out of a round of 6 in a 3 week period. My latest antidepressant prescribed and tried was Pramipexole, A dopamine antagonist, I had very little if any results from it but the side effects were brain zaps, sleep issues and constipation, As desperate as I was for mood improvement If my mood had improved the side effects were too much of price to pay, I dropped the medication after several weeks, I can't remember any antidepressants other than Seroquel and Lamictal. that had tolerable side effects, They are maintenance drugs for me, Even with the benefits of Ketamine treatment my doctors are recommending continuing with two of my current antidepressants. On my last visit with my Psychiatrist, he recommended Ketamine or ECT, Electroshock therapy. From my ECT intake visit and what I was able to study, it's much improved from the old days, but still strong side effects. I studied both, It scared me as there are not only potentially strong side effects it also turns out it is a continuous long term multiple treatment modality therapy that I was not aware of, I've been told it is very effective but as a last resort, and with strong long term side effects. After getting ketamine treatments I will not be getting ECT. Again my choice do your own research and follow your doctor's orders, I chose Ketamine in a clinical setting instead. I'm not trying to suggest anyone not start or continue with your prescribed medications, Rely on on your doctor's recommendations. I am not a doctor I'm only describing my treatments and results, Yours may be different, After making multiple calls to many local Ketamine clinics, I chose to work with Clarus in San Francisco, they were professional while at the same time being warm and inviting. Everyone from Catherine at the front desk, to Kelly the staff nurse who assists with the treatments to Dr. Kaveh and Doctor Shrestha, were all welcoming, professional, and caring before during, and after each treatment. The debriefings after each infusion were critical to me. The doctors were thorough but as importantly patient, I did not feel rushed They offered a choice of background music, different visuals playing in the background, and different scents to help create the mood, plus discussing the levels of doses during the infusions allowing my feedback for adjustments of the dosages, You are involved in the treatments, They started me off at a low dose to see my response, Everyone is different they said, and I understand that as each infusion triggered different experiences. Nurse Kelly would come in during the treatment to let me know she was there if I needed anything, Both Doctors talked me through the procedure, during preparation, starting and stopping the procedure, and debriefing after, They will call in 2 weeks and then in 4 weeks to follow up and track my progress. They really do care. These infusions brought me out of my depression, gave me a new outlook on life, and a feeling of patience with myself and others, After my hesitations about Ketamine and its own stigmas, and fears about other people's experiences I was very happy with the benefits of Ketamine and with Clarus. I highly recommend them to anyone thinking of Ketamine infusions. I suggest a call to Catherine and one of the doctors at Clarus, Good luck on your journey, read more
