Real stories, real impact: discover their journey to wellness
Balance Ketamine Clinic at AAYU has been an incredible experience! The environment is clean and atmospheric. They have a modern/minimalism feel that you don’t see in most clinics. I felt safe in the room where the ketamine is given. It was reassuring to have professionals check you and your heart rate during treatment. They also do several tests beforehand to make sure it’s safe for you to proceed with ketamine.
I have been suffering from crippling depression for several years now. I tried different medications and different doctors – nothing worked. I even tried TMS for severe depression that did a little but then I was back to where I was. So I gave IV Ketamine a shot -why not? I must say I was skeptical if this would work. I didn’t feel very different immediately after my first infusion but then after the 2nd -something began to life. Now I feel like myself again!
I recently finished my rounds of Ketamine infusions at this clinic and had a wonderful experience. The clinic is clean, comfortable, and everyone is very nice. And you have access to therapists, and other doctors in the same practice. The whole process was carefully guided and informative, and though the treatment seems intimidating, the whole experience is comforting and I started to see results very very quickly.
This clinic is wonderful. From the receptionists to the medical assistants to Dr. Shinde! I’ve been getting ketamine administered here for 3 weeks and it’s definitely provided me such a large relief with my depression. Dr. Shinde shows that he genuinely cares about your illness.
I’m already amazed by their hours alone. Many of us don’t have the options of a Mon-Fri appt. Ive been on just about every antidepressant thinkable for over the past 20 yrs. The current “duo” Ive been on for about 3-4 yrs. Not even come close to feeling good.
My doctor prescribed Ketamine treatments to me for my depression. After looking around a bit, treatments at this clinic seemed quite reasonably priced. The facility is top-notch. Clean, professional, and punctual. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a ketamine clinic.
Employees are incredibly nice and supportive. While the treatment can be little scary, they truly make you feel comfortable and safe while you are there. The treatment itself is fantastic and works where years and years of SSRIs have struggled.
As a spouse of someone who has suffered depression and having watch them through trying times, using different medications and techniques such as mindfulness , yoga and exercise.. ketamine therapy is the first treatment that has really been helpful.

Ketamine is an anesthetic medication that blocks the NMDA receptor that has also been used as a recreational drug due to its dissociative properties. It is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines because of its safety and efficacy for anesthesia. More recently, ketamine has been discovered as a safe and effective treatment for depression, and randomized controlled trials have shown rapid improvement in mood as well as reduction in suicidality compared to people who receive a placebo or another drug.
Adults age 18 and over who suffer from severe depression and have not had success with traditional treatments for depression are eligible for ketamine treatment. Our comprehensive evaluation will include a medical history and basic lab results to ensure ketamine therapy is safe for you.
Several randomized controlled trials demonstrate that ketamine has made a significant improvement in depressive symptoms and suicidality over the course of the first 2 weeks. In fact, if ketamine does not work for you after 2 sessions, the data suggest it is unlikely to work at all. Several studies have looked at how long the effects of Ketamine last. This graph shows just one such study’s results.
For depression, the doses of ketamine used are much lower than the dose for anesthesia, making it relatively safe. That said, ketamine does carry the risk of changing your blood pressure and heart rate, which we will monitor throughout the ketamine infusion therapy. Longer term risks include urinary symptoms, cognitive impairment (with prolonged use), and substance use disorders. We will monitor for these symptoms throughout the treatment.
When considering ketamine treatment, patients want to know how much ketamine depression treatments cost. Ketamine therapy can be very effective in relieving the symptoms of treatment-resistant depression.
