1. The patient will be contacted by our office for screening and scheduling. They will receive pre-procedure instructions prior to their initial consultation. If deemed an appropriate candidate for ketamine therapy, Spravato, or TMS, the patient may proceed with the recommended course of treatment.
2. The patient will receive treatments of ketamine, Spravato, or TMS over a three-week period. Ketamine dosing typically begins at approximately 0.5 mg/kg and is adjusted individually based on clinical response, tolerability, and provider assessment.
3. We will monitor the patient’s mood and clinical progress throughout the course of treatment. Following completion of the acute treatment series, we will determine whether ketamine therapy, Spravato, or TMS has been effective in improving symptoms of treatment-resistant depression and other target conditions. For patients who respond favorably, we may recommend maintenance treatments based on clinical need and ongoing assessment. Maintenance infusions are given every 7 to 16 weeks.
