PROFITS OVER PATIENTS - Avoid Actify! If you read my other…read morereviews, you'll know that I tend to rate favorably. A one-star review is rather unusual for me. That being said, this is somewhere you should avoid. My wife was treated by this clinic for over a year when, in an effort to maximize profits, they closed down without even notifying patients. My wife got an email at 7:30 PM on the day before her scheduled treatment cancelling her appointment. When she called the number referenced in the email, it went to a voicemail box that was full, so she couldn't even leave a message. If you suffer from Treatment Resistant Depression, and have been receiving Ketamine treatments, you'll know that this is not merely unprofessional, it is dangerous and potentially life-threatening. As it turns out, when the previous Psychiatrist employed by this clinic refused to shut down to maximize profits, he was summarily fired. The clinic closed for nearly a month with no advanced notice to patients, and the non-medical executives won the day in the form of increased profitability at the expense of patient safety. In an attempt to silence patients, Actify has routinely deleted messages of dissent from their Facebook group. If you want the real story, speak with someone who has been there. There alternative clinics who are cheaper, kinder, and put patients first.

The holidays are a stressful time for everyone and doubly so for those struggling with depression…read more As the support person for someone benefiting from ketamine infusions, I can speak objectively. I have observed the relief the treatment offers for depression. However, I would not recommend seeking that treatment from THIS location. Closing an ongoing treatment center with no notice and no alternative arrangements is a prime example of what can happen when "business" people are making "medical" decisions. That is what this location did just before Thanksgiving, 2019! It's unethical to make people dependent upon you for their health and welfare, then summarily shut down the source of their wellness. Perhaps it is a great business decision, but obviously it is not a good medical decision.
