CUSTOMIZED DOSING
Total Patient Care
Dr. Prashad will meticulously customize the dosing for each individual infusion. This is not a one-size fits all approach. Factors such as concentration, infusion duration, response to previous treatment and pre-medications will be adjusted for each patient and for every infusion. She will tailor each infusion to maximize the response to ketamine. We’ve administered more than 2000 ketamine infusions and our personal response rate is over 80%, well over that of many other clinics.
