At AKC I was in good hands. They care about set and setting. The staff is experienced and professional. Clinic sessions are clean, on time, and thorough. With the medicine itself I could feel parts of my brain working that were dormant. I walk away feeling light and in charge. Personally, I regained the ability to sleep, reinstituted artistic endeavors and exercise regimens, and have a better disposition towards myself and the world. I look forward to my next session.

If you are struggling with panic attacks, anxiety, or depression, and are feeling hopeless, please give ketamine treatment a try. It pulled me out of a pit I had been stuck in for years, that no medication or therapy could lift me out of. The team is solid, knowledgeable, kind, and very understanding. The place feels like a lodge, and I relax as soon as I walk in. It's not at all uncomfortable or scary like a doctor's office. The entire experience has been life changing, and I strongly recommend it. I am finally enjoying life again.

Jon, Lisa and their staff are genuinely caring people. They want to make a difference in the lives of those suffering and it shows. I’ve been coming here for several months now and I know I’m in good hands. This treatment has done so much for me and has been well worth it. I will forever be a grateful client of Austin Ketamine Clinic!

Wow. I normally don't write reviews for anything, but for Austin Ketamine Clinic, I felt like I had to. I went into the clinic feeling...well. hopeless, honestly. I was literally fed up with life with no idea on whether or not things would turn around for me. After trying multiple medications, and simply feeling worse after so much therapy (over a decade and a half), I felt there was literally nothing left to do. One of my friends from Florida told me about Ketamine, and I went searching for the right place in Austin. I did the 6 treatment package, and I can tell you that now after experiencing the effects of Ketamine, it is truly the best thing I have EVER spent my money on. Like. EVER. I am now teaming it up with therapy, and finally feel...well...like me. And I truly couldn't remember the last time I actually felt like that. I can see how with the wrong clinic, these experiences could go south pretty quickly. Lisa, Jon and Lalo REALLY have made my experience so positive, and I feel like there is a way forward with my severe level of PTSD, trauma and treatment resistant depression Try it out. If nothing else, your eyes will be more opened. This is a safe place in Austin that has changed my ENTIRE world. Do it, if you're wondering if you should. Thank you to you guys for giving me life again.

I know this is extremely long but I feel like I need to be thorough. Shortly after the start of the pandemic, I began having issues with anxiety. I’d never experienced it before in my 35 years of life and it was debilitating. I was already struggling with depression pre-pandemic but that worsened as time went on as well. I have a great therapist who helped me figure out ways to cope as best I could and a psych who tried her damndest to come up with the right drug combinations and dosages to mitigate the symptoms. Meds helped with the anxiety but the depression was untouchable. I had no emotions, no joy, no drive, no desire for anything. It was affecting my job, my marriage, my relationship with my son, everything. I had only ever heard of Ketamine therapy very briefly from my mother, warning me to never do it because it was dangerous. It didn’t cross my mind again until March of 2022 when I met a couples therapist who had worked with other patients in similar situations. She recommended I look into it so I did.After learning more about it, I decided to give it a shot. I knew it would be a significant financial investment but was desperate. I told myself if this didn’t work, I’d just have to work on accepting feeling the way I did forever. I underwent 8 sessions over a course of 4 weeks (two more than is typical which was my choice). For the first few weeks, I didn’t see much of a difference. I had read some people felt things shift after even just a couple of sessions but I tried to not get discouraged. I started to get hints of change in daily activities but nothing that truly stuck out. Nine days after completing the first round of sessions, my husband and I traveled to Europe. I had been stressing about the trip for months, worrying that it would be wasted on me and that it would only be a source of stress. After about 4 days into the trip, I started to relax and my anxiety lessened. I was actually enjoying myself and looking forward to the things we had spent months planning. The trip ended up being one of the best experiences of my life. I actually sent a postcard to the Austin Ketamine Clinic team from Santorini, Greece to thank them for giving me the ability to experience joy again. In the months since returning, my depression and anxiety have lifted entirely. I feel like me again. I’ve dropped all but one psych med which is at a very low dose for me. I’m not out running marathons or anything but I have more (any!) motivation, am playing and interacting with my son more, struggling less with close relationships, finding more satisfaction in my job, and enjoying the things I used to. I’m not going to lie and say it isn’t a significant investment and it is something you have to maintain over time. It’s not a magical permanent fix, you have to keep up with treatments just like with any other medication, though sessions are spread much farther apart after your initial group. Truthfully, it’s one of if not THE best decisions I’ve ever made in my life and I’m very blessed to be able to have the ability to obtain the treatments. The AKC team is wonderful. Lisa and Jon have built an amazing place of healing. I love literally everyone there but Lalo, especially is a doll. They are all so friendly, easy to talk to, and genuine. They really do care about your well being and root for you. I look forward to seeing them every time I go in. They’re an integral part of my psychological well-being. They do everything they can to ensure I have a great experience every time. In my darkest moments, AKC gave me a second chance at life. I am eternally grateful to them.

I had my first infusion today. Lisa and Jon were great. They made sure I felt safe and comfortable during my session. Update: Just had round two. They increased the dose this time. I have made a personal connection with how this treatment can help. I still highly recommend this facility. Update: I've completed my 6 treatments. I can't believe how far I've come in 2 and a half weeks. This was worth far more than the time and money I put in. I do not feel depressed for the first time in a decade. Second Update: It has been 7 months under this facility's care. My symptoms still have not returned. I absolutely recommend!

Best Ketamine Clinic in Austin! I love the caring staff! The treatments are the best for my depression. I have treatment resistant depression and these treatments change my state of mind. I feel calm, soothed and restored! It's like a "happiness " infusion!

This is the best ketamine clinic in Austin. Lisa and Jon (owners) are extremely knowledgeable, professional, compassionate, friendly and understanding. They know how to start an IV without me walking out with punctures all over my arm. They are seamless with this process. That is extremely Important to me because my veins have been known to cause a lot of healthcare workers issues.
Their office is phenomenal. They have a projector instead of a TV (like the other clinics I have gone to) so while the infusion is occurring, being able to watch a nature show is amazing as it's projected and really lets you have the experience you need to have to heal.
I have been getting ketamine infusions for a while now and I would not go anywhere else.
This is THE place to go for healing and extremely empathetic owners and staff.
Ketamine has helped me in so many ways, especially at their clinic. I learned through trial and error that if you don't go to the right clinic with staff that is highly trained and caring, the experience is not nearly as beneficial. I am so glad I have been on this healing journey with Lisa and Jon.

Apologies in advance for the long post.I wanted to wait a few weeks until I wrote this review, so that I could give a REAL and valid update of my experience. I recently finished a round of infusions here at AKC -- 9 infusions over 4 weeks. First let me say that I have tried over 10 different SSRI/NDRI's over the last 20+ years, talk therapy, cognitive therapy, hypnotherapy, acupuncture, wellness centers, etc. Nothing has helped me get my severe "treatment resistant" depression in check. NOTHING. I was so exhausted from trying something new and it not working. I had pretty much given up any hope that I'd be able to lead a "normal" life. Then a dear friend of mine told me that she had done ketamine infusion therapy and that it changed her life. She is in the same boat as me, except she also suffers from anxiety. I do not. I knew that this type of therapy was going to be expensive as insurance does not cover it. But I knew that it could be the most important investment I would make in my life. And it WAS. These infusions changed my life! They legit SAVED my life. I honestly had very little hope going into this, but I came out a changed person who got her life back. I now know what it feels like to live a normal life. I am super happy, the dark cloud that had been following me around is gone, the sky is bluer, the grass is greener and I have so much gratitude now. I have gone from a negative Nancy to a positive, grateful, blessed person. I was shocked at how quickly this treatment worked. It did take me until around my 4th infusion to finally feel the effects, so I extended my treatment by 3 more sessions. So glad I did. This has literally been the best thing I could have ever done for myself -- and Austin Ketamine Clinic was the best place I could have ever chosen. I felt so SAFE here. I was uncertain of what to expect, but Jon and Lisa took such good care of me. The scheduling was super easy to set up with Lisa, the EMT's that stayed with me during my infusions were awesome and the ambiance of this place is everything. I felt so comfortable here and actually looked forward to my treatments. They NEVER rushed me out the door when my treatment was over - in fact, they sat with me and talked to me as long as I wanted to. Plus they have the best rates of everyone I researched. Do yourself a favor, if you are in the Austin area and are looking to try this treatment, go to Austin Ketamine Clinic. Hands down the BEST! Can't wait to see them again for my maintenance sessions over the next year or so.
