Why Ketamine infusion?
Ketamine infusion treatments block specific receptors in the parts of the brain that processes pain, depression, and anxiety by blocking a receptor system known as the NMDA receptor.
Dr. Christopher lawinski, MD
Dr. Lawinski started to incorporate ketamine infusions into his clinical practice for the treatment of major mood disorders starting in early 2018.
“Exceeded all expectations...
I made my first appointments with Dr. Lawinski, because going to LA for ketamine treatments was so difficult due to covid. It was also exhausting due to a long flight from Honolulu. There were docs in Honolulu who provided treatments, but it was obvious that their only incentive was $$$. The charge at Queens Hospital was the highest in the entire country!! 1200. dollars per treatment. In Dr. Lawinski and his staff, I found a team committed to helping patients like myself, with severe clinical depression, ( as well as PTSD, ETC.), return to wellness. They also had a real understanding of the medication, as well as knowing that every patient responded differently. This was not a “cookie cutter” approach, like at many ketamine clinics. I have had 6 treatments to date and am no longer plagued by suicidal ideation. It is wonderful to be able to sleep again, and resume activities I once enjoyed. I am ready to return to his office again, the moment I notice a change in my mood.

“I have complex PTSD and clinical depression so bad mayo clinic couldn’t help me.
Honestly a candidate for ECT and they said that would probably not do much.
Dr. Lawinski saved my life and gave it back to where I’m not in a hospital and free. He saved me in darkest hours of me being suicidal and in insane agony. I left feeling transformed and when it wears off I get boosters. Also just a very good, good man. He’s a rare one. I’ve had many doctors. He wins. I’m not pretty sure I’d be dead without him...I’m 100% sure I would be. but I’m not! He has been a beacon of light for me.”
“I have been able to live a much more productive stable life
Before I discovered Ketamine Therapy through working with Dr. Lawinski, I was suffering from migraines, nausea, anxiety, and panic attacks that would land me in the emergency room. I would get little to no relief while in the ER only to return the next week or month. Ever since discovering this alternative therapy I have not had any episodes requiring ER visits. I have been able to live a much more productive stable life without any major life interruptions since discovering this therapy and have also benefited from increased positive emotions. I highly recommend this therapy to anyone that might suffer from some form of psychological duress and have not found or have had a hard time finding solutions the conventional way.
