1. Patient will be contacted by our office for screening and scheduling. They will receive pre-procedure instructions. A $250 consultation fee may be collected at that time to cover the initial consultation. If they are approved for ketamine therapy or TMS and proceed with the first treatment, the $250 dollars will be applied towards the series of 6 treatments, $3250.
2. Patient will receive treatments of ketamine or TMS over a 2-week period. Dosing of ketamine starts around 0.5 mg/kg and will be adjusted on a per-patient basis.
3. We will check their mood throughout their weeks of treatment, and after the eighth week, we will determine whether ketamine or TMS has been effective for their treatment-resistant depression. For the responders, maintenance infusions may be scheduled. On average, maintenance infusions last 9 to 16 weeks.
