I just called San Francisco Kaiser to see if I could make an appointment for the Ketamine IV . Left a message and a very informed woman called me back & told me they no longer do them. When I asked why? she said due to logistics. San Francisco & Arizona are my only options because I have family there. I'm so tired of fighting this battle. In all of my research Ketamine IV is my "hopeful" option.

Im sure we have all heard of Barby Ingle. I revisited her youtube videos and saw she went to Drexel for the Ketamine Iv. However she gets her boosters in Arizona so more research led me to the doctor. I wondered why they did boosters but not the actual procedure? First let me state that I have a great therapist who is my only advocate. She will get on the phone and call doctors directly and even email them on my behalf. I did email the doc but it was only after my doc emailed them that I got a response. They forwarded my email to a facility called Freedom Pain Hospital. That email was so complete and professional. They gave me the full protocol and procedures that the Ketamine Iv will entail. It has taken me over 4 yrs to finally pick a procedure that is acceptable for me. SCS is not an option, drugs dont work for me and I have even tried hypnotherapy. Their phone number is 480-586-2300.

Just wanted to add my doctor to the list.

Dr. Donald Bacon
525 Oak Center Drive, Suite 140
San Antonio, TX 78258
(210) 546-1410

I started ketamine infusions in December 2013. They are going really well and my pain has improved dramatically. Dr. Bacon's typical out-patient protocol is high-dose for four days (Mon-Thur either 8am-12pm or 1-5pm) every four weeks.

The Dr, PA, and NP at the pain clinic I go to prescribe Ketamine. (I use it via nasal spray in conjunction w/longer lasting oral pain meds)
