About The Treatment

How Ketamine Infusion Works

Unlike traditional antidepressants that target serotonin and can take weeks to work, ketamine acts on the glutamate system — specifically NMDA receptors — triggering a rapid cascade of neuroplasticity that can lift depressive symptoms within hours to days of the first infusion.

During treatment, you recline comfortably in a private infusion room while the medication is administered intravenously over 45–60 minutes. Dr. Khaimov and our team monitor you throughout. You will need a driver home.

A typical course consists of 6 infusions over 2–3 weeks, followed by maintenance infusions as needed. Our Garden City clinic serves patients from across Nassau County and Long Island.

Why Consider Ketamine

Rapid Response

Many patients experience meaningful improvement within hours to days — not weeks — of their first infusion.

Novel Mechanism

Acts on glutamate receptors — completely different from SSRIs/SNRIs — offering new hope when other treatments have failed.

Medically Supervised

Every infusion is administered by Dr. Khaimov in a private, clinical setting with full monitoring for your safety.

Neuroplasticity

Ketamine promotes the growth of new neural connections, supporting long-term mood improvements beyond the infusion itself.

Short Course

A typical treatment course is just 6 infusions over 2–3 weeks, with maintenance sessions as needed thereafter.

Coordinated Care

We coordinate with your existing outpatient providers to integrate ketamine seamlessly into your overall treatment plan.

No. You must arrange for someone to drive you home after each infusion. Plan to take it easy the remainder of the day.

IV ketamine is administered through an intravenous drip and is used off-label. Spravato® (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray. Both work through similar mechanisms but differ in administration, insurance coverage, and regulatory status. Dr. Khaimov can help determine which is right for you.
