What is ketamine infusion therapy and how does it work?+
Ketamine infusion therapy delivers precise, sub-anesthetic doses of ketamine through an IV. It works on the brain's glutamate system and promotes neuroplasticity — the brain's ability to rewire itself — which is why many patients feel relief in hours to days rather than the weeks typical of oral antidepressants.
What is MSKIT®?+
Minimally Stimulated Ketamine Infusion Therapy (MSKIT®) is our protocol: CRNA-administered infusions in a calm, low-stimulation environment with dosing optimized to each patient. In our 2022–2024 research across 252 patients, MSKIT® showed an 82% response rate.
Who administers my treatment?+
Every infusion is administered by a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesiologist (CRNA). Our team brings 40+ years of combined anesthesia experience, and founder Charles Miller, CRNA serves as faculty at the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga.
Does insurance cover ketamine or TMS treatment?+
Veterans may qualify for covered treatment through the VA Community Care Network — we are an approved provider. We also accept CareCredit financing, and our team will walk you through every payment option during your consultation.
Should I choose ketamine or TMS?+
It depends on your history and goals. TMS is FDA-cleared, drug-free, and excellent for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and OCD — with 90%+ response using SNT protocols. Ketamine acts fast and also helps chronic pain, PTSD, and more. Many patients pair TMS with ketamine boosters; your consultation determines the right path.
How quickly will I notice results?+
Many patients report improvement within their first few infusions. Peer-reviewed randomized controlled research has shown measurable improvement in depression severity within 24 hours of a single infusion. Individual responses vary — which is why we track outcomes throughout your care.
