This is the best Mental Health Care clinic I have been to in the Greater Tampa Area. This clinic…read morehas it all: thoughtful and compassionate technicians, Bryce and Belue, an awesome and extremely patient care coordinator, Jenny, a sweet and understanding nurse, Elizabeth, and a really cool and professional medical director, Dr. Obregon!
I've done it all at NeuroSpa: TMS, Spravato, and IV Ketamine. TMS didn't do much for me so I "graduated" to Spravato LOL and I do maintenance IV Ketamine every month or so. TMS is a great tool for anyone that is unresponsive to the traditional first-line treatment to depression (SSRIs, SNRIs, etc.). TMS works very well for the people that respond well to it, I wasn't one of those people, but you very well can be. It has great outcomes, I was just one of the very few unlucky ones...
Luckily, NeuroSpa has other options and that's where I excel at :) Spravato is just like your any other nose sprays. I don't really know how it works but it that has one or the other molecules of the ketamine molecules, but give Jenny a call and she'll explain it to you! Spravato works wonders, the only thing I can say is that it tastes bad...but don't worry they have candies and chocolates and snacks that help with the taste LOL. You just sit in the room for about 2 hours and get an iPad and an eye mask and jam out to your favorite music or to curated, relaxing Ketamine playlists that mellow you out to relax, meditate, or even take a nap.
Ketamine is something NeuroSpa recently just added to their mental health care repertoire. It is like Spravato, but different, idk just ask Jenny :) I only have done it twice and it gives me that extra kick in my butt I need to feel great and carry on throughout my weeks. Instead of being in a nasal spray form, its through the needle in your arm, so a little different but pretty much the same. This is a game changer, if you're doing Spravato and feel like you get "stuck" at a certain emotion level, the IV ketamine will definitely give you that extra zap you need to get out of that emotional rut.
Neurospa lays everything out in front of you on Day 1. Due to the nature of Spravato and Ketamine you're not able to drive yourself home from treatment, which is probably the most standard protocol at any Ketamine clinic in the US... They even help you with coordinating transport, albeit with a loved one, friend, or even getting you a rideshare service, on those days where everyone else is busy and you can't find a ride LOL. I mean you get pretty disoriented, so why would anyone ever think it's okay to drive after a mind-altering drug treatment!
To say that NeuroSpa takes care of you really is an understatement, they do it all and more! They make sure you have everything you need before, during, and after your treatments. They do talk therapy and manage your medication for you! No one can compete with their team and their focus, passion, patience, openness, and so many other great qualities. NeuroSpa is the best place you can go to in Tampa to help with ALL of your depression needs!
NeuroSpa has improved my life one thousand times over! I wouldn't be the happy person I am today without them. I hope that whoever needs that one review to read to take the first step in making a difference in their mental health and going to NeuroSpa (the one in Citrus Park)! :)
