Experience and Training
Your treatment should be administered and directly supervised at by a doctor, CRNA, or registered nurse at all times. Make sure your provider is physician board certified in a specialty that relates to mental health or pain – Anesthesia, Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine and Psychiatry would be the most common.

Ketamine Pricing
Factors such as cost per infusion and the availability of transportation to and from your infusion can influence the decision about where to go for ketamine infusions. At KureIV, we offer some of the lowest priced ketamine infusions in Houston. Our infusions are priced at $350 per hour. Less expensive clinics may not be giving you the personalized care you need at each visit to determine the best dose of ketamine for you. We tailor each infusion therapy session and dosage to each individual and take the time to talk with you about your experience and help monitor progress.
Setting and Location
The ketamine clinic should be a quiet and calm place. The support staff should be responsive and able to answer basic questions and your scheduling concerns. The waiting room should be relaxing and relatively quiet to help you prepare your mind before your infusion. Private rooms, comfortable treatment chairs, a place for your loved ones to wait, and easy lighting are all important. This is not the time for finding yourself in big rooms with lots of other patients making you nervous before the infusion. This should be a peaceful experience.
Ideally, the clinic will be located a short drive from a hospital or emergency room and will have all the standard protocols in place – including the right emergency medications, equipment, and machines.
Don’t be fooled by nice websites. Most quality providers have professional websites, but very few will make ridiculous claims about ketamine. It’s important for you to know that ketamine can help, but it is not right for everyone and requires a very personalized approach.
