INTRAVENOUS KETAMINE

At NY Ketamine Infusions, you will only receive the safest and most effective IV ketamine treatment available from the most experienced medical professionals in the field, where both dose and speed of administration can be finely adjusted to your comfort and best outcome.

Our well-trained and compassionate staff has now treated nearly 4,000 patients over the past nine years with remarkable success using only the safest, time-tested protocols. Intramuscular injections, nasal sprays and oral applications provided by some others do not have a track record of success – only intravenous ketamine has proven to be the gold standard of ketamine treatments.
