- Physician led: Our doctors are experienced in the daily use of Ketamine. They have been specialty trained and Board Certified. They will create individualized treatment plans to assist you on your journey of healing. We do not believe in a model where everyone receives the exact same dose and does the same amount of infusions, everyone responds differently, and we will treat you like the unique person you are.
- Focus on Set and Setting: We prepare you into a mind-set that enables you to have the best results before each infusion. Our clinic setting is a spa-like tranquil, private environment to promote healing.
- At RENEW, we specialize in the treatment of both mental health AND chronic pain conditions. In fact, Dr. Yanuck, is a Board Certified Pain Medicine Physician with years of experience treating various complex pain disorders.
- Included in our price is access to our Licensed Clinical Psychologist with specialized training and extensive experience in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. Prior to your first infusion you will meet with the psychotherapist virtually to prepare for the infusion, and then following each infusion you will have access to this psychotherapist to integrate your experience. We strongly believe that while Ketamine itself is an extremely important tool in the healing process, an integrated psychotherapy program is just as important. Unlike most ketamine clinics who might recommend working with a therapist, we require it, and provide access to true experts in working with Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.

Listen to Dr. Yanuck discuss this topic with Maria Lloyd LMFT. Ketamine and Addiction.
a.) We take addiction and misuse very seriously. We are reassured by the existing data that does not show evidence of Ketamine being addictive. With that said, our staff will continually monitor you during the treatment period for any red flags and act accordingly. We reserve the right to withhold treatments at anytime if we suspect any signs of addiction or misuse, and we will work with your primary care team to ensure this is addressed expeditiously.
b.) As with any drug, there is always the possibility of abuse and harm. At Renew Ketamine Infusion, we only promote the therapeutic, safe and legal use of Ketamine under the supervision of our expert Medical Team.
Spravato (esketamine) is FDA approved for the treatment of Depression. Ketamine, is consider off label for depression.
Ketamine is an FDA approved medication. Off-label means using an approved medication for an unapproved indication. Many medications are used regularly off label daily. Because something is not FDA approved for certain use, just means that the initial application for FDA approval did not study it for that use. Extensive evidence exists now to support Ketamine’s effectiveness and safety, but new FDA trials are very unlikely to happen because the drug is generic, and no longer a brand drug.
