If you're reading this, you're probably on the fence about ketamine treatment. Let me tell you:…read morejumping off that fence into Dr. Mahjoubi's clinic was one of the best decisions of my life. The Ketamine Healing Clinic isn't just a clinic--it's a sanctuary for those of us who have tried everything else and need a new lease on life. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth, compassion, and a feeling that, maybe for the first time in a long time, I was in the right place. Dr. Mahjoubi is an absolute blessing. He's not just a doctor; he's a healer who genuinely cares about his patients. He takes the time to listen, explain, and make you feel safe in what can be a pretty daunting process. I never once felt rushed or like just another patient. The treatments themselves? Life-changing. I walked in feeling hopeless and walked out feeling like I had been given a second chance. It's not magic, but it's the closest thing I've found to it. The calm, the clarity, and the relief I've felt since starting my sessions are indescribable. It's like someone turned the lights back on in a room that had been dark for years. If you're tired of feeling stuck and are ready to try something different, do yourself a favor and book that consultation. Dr. Mahjoubi and his team are truly doing something special here, and I can't thank them enough for giving me my life back.

Wow, it's been several years now and I can't believe I never left a review (then again I had no…read moreidea they were on Yelp). Both Dr. Mahjoubi and his staff was incredibly responsive when I had any questions or concerns. I was on the program for about 6 months or so and it helped me at a time nothing else would. I went off it after to try TMS which was a total waste of time and money. My situation changed financially so I couldn't afford to go back but I honestly felt like it was very helpful while I was in the program. Compared to other Ketamine options, I found his pricing to be reasonable for the care offered and would not hesitate to return should my finances allow.

My attorney and pain MD approved osteopathic manipulation as a treatment earlier this week, I had my first session with her yesterday. I feel much better after just one treatment! I'm still sore and it'll be a while before I'm fully recovered but the head compression (it felt like someone had bashed my head in on the left side - drivers side - ever since the accident) is much improved and my pain is less sharp overall. She was so compassionate and concerned about helping me that she was very thorough in the first treatment which went way longer than I imagined it might. I AM SO GRATEFUL that I have found her. I'll be seeing her to address the injuries and I recommend her highly to everyone who is in pain and considering their options.

I cannot recommend Dr. Marc and Dr. Joe at the Stem Cell Institute highly enough…read more After suffering an MCL injury, I was weighing several options, including surgery and wearing a CTI brace. Rather than rushing me toward an invasive procedure, they took the time to truly listen to my goals. As someone who wanted to get back to an active lifestyle and back on the ocean as safely as possible, they carefully explained every detail of my ultrasound scans, the specific damage to my knee, and all of the available treatment options. I never felt pressured. I felt educated. Together we decided on regenerative treatment, giving my body the opportunity to heal itself. Six weeks later, I'm back on the ocean riding my board--something I wasn't sure would be possible so quickly. What impressed me most was their honesty. At my follow-up, they told me I was healing so well that I didn't even need another treatment. That level of integrity is rare. It showed me that their priority is the patient's outcome, not selling additional procedures. I appreciate the time they spent with me, the patience they showed answering my questions, and the genuine care they demonstrated throughout the entire process. They were recommended to me by a friend who had an outstanding experience, and I'm grateful for that referral. Now I'm happy to pay it forward. If you're facing orthopedic surgery or considering your options for a ligament or joint injury, I strongly encourage you to consult with Dr. Marc and Dr. Joe before making a final decision. It may not be the right solution for everyone, but in my case it helped me avoid surgery, get back to doing what I love, and let my body heal naturally. I couldn't be more thankful.

Best decision I ever made, and wish we would have gone sooner!…read moreBoth doctors, Dr. Darrow and Dr. Grove are exceptional as far as their knowledge AND skill. I've taken my daughter multiple times over several years and her relief has always been immediate, each time. Prolotherapy gave her a life, after she had been suffering over a year and there's nothing else out there like it. I do give her something to relax before, because it is quite a few injections in her neck (C spine) the problem area. She has hypermobility and no curve in her neck, and is 22 years old. The office staff and assistants are courteous and there's even a little cafe inside the building which is nice. I hope more people can find them because treating the spine to avoid surgery, who doesn't want that ?!!

She's an excellent doctor and unique diagnostician. While she doesn't take any insurance, she's worth it if you can afford out-of-pocket medical (tax deductable...all health meds are).

Dr. Lalani talked to me the entire time truly easy my nerves. One two three and done. I was thrilled to be on the other side. It was no where close to what I had built up in my mind.

Dr. Shafipour is absolutely amazing. He is extremely easy to connect with when you are having a problem and is the kind of doctor you can only dream of having. I have not felt well for many years and it has never been diagnosed so I am constantly bugging him for suggestions as to whom to see next. He is extremely patient with me and does his utmost to find answers. He once said he likes to treat his patients as he would like to be treated. Well he would certainly be treated well. There aren't enough stars for this doctor.
