Testimonials

I've been working in the Seattle and Bellevue Area since 2005. I have personally worked with the Northwest Ketamine Team for several years. I have been doing surgery and medicine starting in medical school in 1996. Over all of these years, this team is the best team I've ever worked with. period. I have no reason to give this positive review other than to tell you what I honestly think. Over the past several years, this team is always on time and have managed my patients with impeccable care. The founder of this team is one of the nicest people I've met. He is a great guy and my team loves him! He is honest, ethical, works well with everybody and is always responsive whenever we need him. Just the other day, we had a question for him about one of our patients and he was in our office in less than 20 minutes. He interrupted his day to address something for us. We told him he didn't have to come but he did anyway. I truly believe, based on my over 26 years of higher education and experience, that if I needed some type of anesthesia care or management of my pain or other issues related to what Northwest Ketamine does, I would choose Northwest Ketamine over anybody.

As the parent of a young man who has dealt with depression, anxiety, and self doubt for many years, my wife and I have watched him decline and lose hope of having any kind of normal life. There has been a steady pattern of therapists, psychiatrist, and medications. Then we learned about ketamine. We contacted nw ketamine clinics in Bellevue Wa and were pleased to find a compassionate professional in Cindy who helped us through all the the details to get our son into treatments. He has had only two so far and the results, especially after the first was more than we had dreamed. I am so very impressed with Cindy and his nurse C.C. and their welcoming demeanor and caring attitudes. There is no institutional feel to the clinic and the people. It is a comfortable and welcoming setting. We feel that they have helped him (and us) to a new level of hope and happiness.

After 17 years of anxiety and depression, treated with the usual mixture of medications and therapy, I found out about ketamine while trying to find a different answer.

From the first moment I interacted with Northwest Ketamine Clinics I knew I was in good hands. Cindy is so incredibly helpful and kind. Signing up for the initial six infusions was a snap. When ever I had a scheduling need, Cindy went out of her way to help.

Allyn provided my first infusion. Before hand we spent about 30 minutes going over my medical history and talking through the infusion process. After that I was seated in one of the treatment rooms. During the infusion I was seated in a very comfortable recliner. Before hand you'll get a warm blanket (totally needed, the ketamine makes you cold). Starting the IV is nearly painless as Allyn numbed the IV site.

Once the infusion starts it's best to just kick your feed back and listen to some music. I always bring my iPhone with Spotify, but if needed they have a tablet with a music selection and a set of really nice wireless headphones to use during the infusion.

After the infusion I am normally VERY tired. It took me a bit to get my sea legs back. Once I'm home I usually take a nap and go to bed early. By the next day the I'm always feeling MUCH better.

The results have been nothing short of a miracle. On a 1 to 10 scale with 1 being very depressed, before my first infusion I was between a 1 and a 2. The day after my first infusion that jumped to about a 6. After my 6th infusion I was a solid 9. Maybe it's a 10. Honestly it's been so long I don't know what being above a 5 really feels like.

Can't state that enough. 17 years of depressive misery, gone in two weeks. I've cried a couple times during this process because I didn't think results like this were every going to be possible. It's been so effective that I was able to drop two depression medications.

The other staff member I need to say a big thanks to is C.C. She's an amazing nurse. Very kind and welcoming. She remembers all the little things I like in the treatment room like the blanket, being able to see out the windows, having a small fan on. On the days when I went in for an infusion when I was feeling rough, I always got a big smile, a hug, and that instant reassurance that I was in a place where I could just drop my shoulders, get the infusion, and get to feeling better!

Overall 5 stars doesn't do Northwest Ketamine Clinic any justice. I'm so blessed to have found them and look forward to continuing my boosters with the amazing people here. If you or a family member need help, give them a call. This can saves lives.

I've struggled with chronic fatigue for 16 years and have tried everything. Around my 4th treatment (of the 6 treatment plan) I started feeling productive. I didn't feel like I had more energy, but I saw things that needed to be done and just did them. Usually I'm lucky to do 1 or 2 things a day, and all of a sudden I was doing 10 things and it wasn't wearing me out. It's the first thing in 16 years that has made any sort of difference and I am so grateful!

The other thing that I really appreciate is the staff. It's been a long time since I've talked to a Dr that didn't make me feel bad or wasn't judgmental. Allyn is really down to earth and makes you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. He truly wants to help people and you can tell.

The procedure room is comfortable, they have a nice reclining chair and bring you a warm blanket. You are hooked up to a machine and monitored the whole time so the procedure is as safe as possible. You are able to listen to whatever music you want- the music really guides your journey so I recommend bringing a playlist or having an idea of what you want to listen to.

Overall this has been one of the best experiences in my life. I leave feeling happy and the feeling lasts for a while. Stressors in life wear it down over time which is why the maintenance visits are so helpful. I had my first one and instantly felt productive again! I can't say enough good things about this process and this clinic, and look forward to seeing the improvements in my life. I highly recommend this for EVERYONE!

I would highly recommend this clinic. I have worked with owner Allyn and his team for the past 2 years and they are all the most compassionate, caring and honest individuals you will ever encounter. If you are looking for top notch care...look no further, they will take excellent care of you and your loved one.

The people at NW Ketamine clinics have really helped me a lot in my life. They completely exceeded my expectations. Allyn, Cindy, Sarah and CC were all extremely helpful, caring, highly skilled and all-around wonderful. I am very happy that I chose this clinic when I decided to try ketamine treatments, the people at NWKC really helped me feel comfortable and well taken care of. The best.

We found the Northwest Ketamine clinic after trying everything to solve our teen’s severe anxiety and depression. Every medication led to severe adverse side effects and the counseling and supplements just weren’t enough. With the very first treatment here, hope returned. His eyes brightened, he expressed relief to have a break from the unrelenting anxiety, and he wanted to know how soon he could get another infusion! After a year of inability to attend school, he has now successfully returned to classes. He has motivation, enjoys life, and is tackling his fears. Ketamine works over time to undo the damage depression does to the brain. The staff at the Northwest Ketamine Clinic are kind, caring and competent. Highly recommended and more affordable than other ketamine treatment facilities in the area. We are so grateful to have our son back.

Ketamine changed my life, I feel like a new person since I started treatments here and most of my anxiety and depression has seemingly melted away. Make sure to call Cindy and she will help change your life for the better. Thanks to Corrine too for excellent help during my treatments!
