Straight answers about ketamine therapy, TMS, safety, cost, and what to expect — and a phone number when you want a human.
Your Questions, Answered
Ketamine infusion therapy delivers precise, sub-anesthetic doses of ketamine through an IV. It blocks NMDA receptors, triggering a glutamate surge that activates AMPA receptors and releases BDNF — increasing neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to rewire itself. Relief often arrives in hours to days.
Minimally Stimulated Ketamine Infusion Therapy — our protocol pairing CRNA-administered infusions with a calm, low-stimulation environment, NAD+ adjuncts, and structured follow-up. In our 2022–2024 research across 252 patients, MSKIT® showed an 82% response rate.
At the low IV doses used for neurogenesis, ketamine is not addictive. It is a dissociative, not a psychedelic — producing a dream-like state rather than hallucinations — and is categorized as a psychoplastogen.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is an FDA-cleared, drug-free treatment that uses magnetic pulses to activate underperforming brain networks. It’s ideal for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and OCD — especially for patients who prefer a non-medication path.
TMS is drug-free with 90%+ response using SNT protocols; ketamine acts fast and also treats chronic pain, PTSD, and more. Many patients benefit from pairing TMS with ketamine boosters. Your free consultation determines the right path.
Classic TMS is covered by most insurance (we’re in-network with all major insurers except Medicaid). Ketamine is not typically covered, but VA Community Care covers veterans with a referral, and FSA/HSA, CareCredit, and SCN Service Program pricing all apply.
Many ketamine patients improve within their first few infusions — published research shows measurable improvement within 24 hours of a single infusion. TMS results build across the course; the ONE-D protocol compresses treatment into a single day.
Every ketamine infusion is administered by a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesiologist. Our team brings 40+ years of combined anesthesia experience, and founder Charles Miller serves as faculty at the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga.
After ketamine infusions, no — bring a driver and take the rest of the day off. After TMS, yes — there is no sedation and no downtime.
