West Coast Ketamine Center

Ketamine is now being offered as an innovative, cutting edge, and effective treatment for severe and debilitating depression. It has also been shown to be effective for the management of other psychiatric illnesses including PTSD, addiction, OCD, and certain pain disorders. The therapeutic effects from ketamine can be almost immediate which makes this a unique treatment in the field of psychiatry. It's been shown that the most effective route of administration for ketamine is through intravenous infusion. This is done at our clinic under the supervision of a board-certified anesthesiologist for maximum safety. This is typically not the case at most clinics that are run by psychiatrists. Dr. Botkiss has been in private practice in San Diego for over 20 years. He specializes in the treatment of mood disorders in both outpatient and hospital-based settings.
