Refer a Patient
Partnership Approach
At Keta Medical Center, we work with a patient’s existing mental health practitioners as partners in care for the patient. If you refer a patient to Keta Medical Center, you can be comfortable that:
- Your patients will receive treatment in a safe, medically appropriate setting with an experienced physician monitoring their treatment.
- Your patient will be made aware of any necessary post-treatment instructions and our physicians will make themselves available to address the patient’s concerns – before, during, and after treatment.
- We will always be in regular contact with you to discuss the patient progress and any concerns you have regarding the treatment.
We recognize that a patient’s existing mental health practitioner knows their patients best, and we will discuss each patient’s mental health profile, history, and unique circumstances prior to commencing treatment. With your partnership, we can provide the promising benefits of Ketamine therapy to your patients in a safe, controlled, physician-supervised setting.
