I had an amazing outcome here last week!
After 30+ yrs of medication resistant depression, I left my last treatment smiling, laughing, and ready to embrace the world. Two hours before, I was on the verge of tears and was contemplating hospitalization. Calling this treatment life-saving / life-changing is NOT hyperbole. For me, it's absolutely true.
I am a licensed medical professional and researcher. The research I uncovered confirmed for me that ketamine delivered by IV is so much more effective because of the 100% bio-availability; data on the nasal delivery of esketamine shows bio-availability between 5% - 45%. While I typically prefer a conservative approach to healthcare, I was in a state of despair and needed assistance. So, I asked a fellow clinician to check out this location on my behalf. We both were satisfied with what we found.
Specifically, the staff here are all Certified Nurse Anesthetists. This means they administer ketamine as part of their daily practice, ketamine is a well known medication for them to administer and to regulate, and they are skilled in its management. Some locations that administer ketamine do not have these professionals on site and would have to call 911 if something untoward occurred.
Finally, I believe the previous poster is unfamiliar with the healthcare paradigm. Nurse Practioners and Physician Assistants require a supervising physician but are autonomous healthcare providers otherwise. This company rents space in Select Family Practice and they have a supervising physician - Russell Harrell, MD - and two PAs. Triangle Ketamine Specialists is licensed by the state and has no need for a dedicated physician for their practice to operate.
I recommend this practice without reservation and have recommended it to both friends and patients. I have not felt this happy, energetic, and resilient in more than a decade. read more
