What is the Treatment Philosophy of the Clinic?

At Gilbert Chandler & Scottsdale Ketamine Therapy Clinics, we believe that ketamine therapy is more than just an IV drip—it’s a comprehensive healing process that requires personalized care, integration coaching, and structured support. Unlike many clinics that administer ketamine as if it were an IV version of an antidepressant, we focus on maximizing effectiveness through preparation, integration, and follow-up care.

What sets us apart is our physician-led approach. Our clinic is run by board-certified anesthesiologists, ensuring that every treatment is delivered with medical precision and patient safety in mind. We integrate coaching, education, and structured guidance, giving patients a greater chance at long-term success with fewer booster treatments.

Mission of the Clinic

Our mission is to provide the highest quality ketamine therapy with an emphasis on long-term success, safety, and patient well-being. We are dedicated to delivering cutting-edge ketamine treatments informed by the latest research while ensuring every infusion is supervised by experienced physicians for maximum safety. Our approach extends beyond treatment, offering holistic support through structured integration coaching to help patients achieve lasting improvements. By focusing on sustainable results, we aim to reduce the need for frequent booster treatments, empowering our patients to regain control of their mental health and well-being with a scientifically backed, patient-centered approach.

History of the Clinic

Our journey began during the COVID-19 pandemic, when we recognized a critical gap in mental health and chronic pain treatments. Traditional approaches were failing many patients, and ketamine therapy—though promising—was being underutilized or misapplied. With a strong background in anesthesiology, we developed our own data-driven, patient-centered approach to ketamine therapy.

Early on, we realized that ketamine alone wasn’t enough. Many of our patients struggled with suicidal ideation, PTSD, and chronic pain—issues that required more than just an infusion. This led us to integrate coaching and structured therapy models, significantly improving patient outcomes.

Our unique methodology quickly gained traction, particularly among first responders, where mental health struggles are alarmingly common. We began collecting patient data to refine and validate our process. Now, with years of experience and proven success, we continue to push the boundaries of what ketamine therapy can achieve.

Values of the Clinic

At the core of our clinic are values that shape every decision we make. We prioritize patient-centered care, tailoring treatments to each individual to ensure personalized results. With a foundation in medical excellence, our board-certified anesthesiologists emphasize safety, precision, and expertise. Innovation and research drive our approach, as we continually refine protocols based on real patient data and emerging scientific studies. We uphold integrity and transparency, tracking patient progress and openly sharing dosing information to maintain continuity of care. Our holistic approach extends beyond ketamine infusions, incorporating integration coaching, structured preparation, and patient education for comprehensive support.

What to Expect?

Your healing journey with us begins before you even step through our doors. Here’s how the process works:

1. Initial Consultation & Screening

We start with a free telemedicine consultation, where we discuss your medical history, symptoms, and treatment goals. For high-risk cases or younger patients, we schedule an in-person evaluation to ensure ketamine therapy is the right fit.

2. Pre-Treatment Onboarding & Preparation

Once approved, you’ll receive:

  • A detailed workbook to guide you through the ketamine experience.
  • Surveys to assess your symptoms, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and pain levels.
  • Medical intake forms & consent documents for a seamless onboarding process.
  • A personal integration coach, who will connect with you for a pre-treatment session to prepare you mentally and emotionally.

3. The First In-Person Appointment

On treatment day, we ensure everything is completed ahead of time so you can focus on healing. Here’s what happens:

  • Arrive 10-15 minutes early to finalize any paperwork.
  • Get settled in a comfortable treatment room.
  • Meet with our team for a thorough pre-infusion discussion to reinforce expectations, answer any questions, and ensure you feel at ease.
  • Receive a one-hour ketamine infusion (with a two-hour appointment slot to allow time for preparation and post-infusion recovery).

4. Ongoing Support & Follow-Ups

Healing is a process, and we walk with you through every step. After each infusion, we assess your progress and adjust treatment as needed. Our integration coaching and follow-up sessions help you process the experience and solidify long-term benefits.

At Gilbert Chandler & Scottsdale Ketamine Therapy Clinics, Each ketamine session is structured for safety, comfort, and optimal effectiveness. We don’t just administer treatment—we provide a comprehensive, compassionate, and empowering healing experience. 

Community Involvement

Our commitment extends beyond the clinic walls. We actively support and advocate for mental health and chronic pain awareness, especially within first responder communities.

We have worked with firefighters, police officers, and emergency personnel, addressing PTSD, depression, and suicidal ideation through our specialized ketamine protocols. By refining our treatments based on real-world needs, we have made a tangible impact in communities where mental health support is often lacking.
