I'm still sore and it'll be a while before I'm fully recovered but the head compression (it felt like someone had bashed my head in on the left side - drivers side - ever since the accident) is much improved and my pain is less sharp overall. She was so compassionate and concerned about helping me that she was very thorough in the first treatment which went way longer than I imagined it might. I AM SO GRATEFUL that I have found her. I'll be seeing her to address the injuries and I recommend her highly to everyone who is in pain and considering their options.

When the cartilage disappears, then bone starts to take it's place - hence where you get the term "bone on bone." I would have been a better and more honest doctor than you anyday.

I have lived with myofascial and dystonia related pain almost my entire life. I did not know that there was a solution for this until I began some research and found Dr. Omrani's TMJ clinic in Los Angeles. At my initial appointment, Dr. Omrani and Mercedes conducted a thorough assessment of my symptoms and provided several treatment options. I was hesitant to commit to any of the options at my initial appointment, so they gave me time to think about which course of action I wanted to take after doing my own research. Their thoroughness and patience is what brought me back after deciding which treatment option might work well for me. I am pleased to say that the treatment Dr. Omrani administered is extremely effective and reduces my pain by 80-100%. My quality of life has drastically improved. I also want to note that Mercedes went above and beyond to work with my insurance company to get the coverage needed to perform the procedure. I cannot thank her enough for all of the time she dedicated to finding a solution to the issue that my insurance company was causing when it came to medical treatment. In my experience, Dr. Omrani and her team have been compassionate, knowledgeable, and patient: all of which I appreciate when receiving specialty medical care. I would absolutely recommend this office to anyone who experiences myofascial or dystonia related pain. Dr. Omrani and her team go above and beyond in the care that they provide and I will absolutely be continuing my treatment at this clinic.

I initially began my ketamine infusion therapy back in December of 2019, up in the San Francisco…read moreBay Area where I am from. By the time I found Gateway on Montana, I had already had 10 treatments, so I was extensively familiar with the myriad benefits. After a series of situations requiring a temporary relocation to Santa Monica recently brought me to the neighborhood, I happened to stumble upon this beautiful facility one sunny day in July, and was warmly greeted by Zohreh. After a lovely chat, I immediately scheduled their next available appointment, and was able to get an infusion within two days (on a Saturday), at about half the price I was paying in the Bay Area, which was such a relief to discover. I am so grateful to have found this place, and have now had five sessions at Gateway Clinics. As someone who is very sensitive to all pharmaceuticals, and neither tolerates nor desires any traditional medications, I am thankful to have discovered ketamine on the advice of a functional (aka holistic) psychiatrist a few years back. I have since learned that Ketamine is a tremendously safe, versatile, and wonderful drug that has been used since the early 1960s, and may be administered at different dosages, in any one of three ways: as an anesthetic (for sedation, like during surgery), as an analgesic (to achieve relief of chronic pain), and as a psychedelic (requiring much lower doses, for mental health support). In my case, ketamine has been instrumental in helping me with all of the following areas of concern: depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, trauma, addiction, suicidal ideation, fatigue, sleep, cognitive performance, mental clarity, and even everyday functionality on a seemingly ordinary human level that so many of us take for granted (until compromise thereof occurs). Within one treatment, ketamine also gently washed away a lifelong fear of needles and IVs, and this annoying obstacle has never returned. I like to say that ketamine (as with most psychedelics) often quite dramatically improves one's capacities: to care for self and others; to move through the world of experience with greater ease, mindfulness, and attention to the present moment; to love more of what is; to gravitate away from the tendency to overcomplicate things, and rather toward a preference for simplicity; and in general to suffer less. It was by way of studying philosophy for 10 years that I discovered meditation and psychedelics. I would never have imagined that a deep immersion in academia would lead me here. Absolutely everyone on the Gateway Clinics team is of the highest caliber. Locally, Zohreh is phenomenal, and creates an inviting atmosphere that makes you want to come in and stay awhile. All of the Nurse Practitioners are phenomenal, and treat their patients with the utmost care, kindness, compassion, respect, and even joy. The founder, Clay, and his wife, Ariane, are both spectacular human beings. I am genuinely impressed with every detail of this practice. The entire organization feels very much like a family, and without doubt they are mission-driven to heal the world, one bodymind at a time. In addition to safe, convenient, and legal psychedelic therapy, Gateway also offers several vitamin infusions, B-12 shots, and a perfect array of products to go, such as: targeted wellness and supplement sprays; high potency medicinal mushroom tinctures (e.g. Lion's Mane and Shitake); raw superfood chocolates featuring adaptogenic mushrooms and herbs; and a nice selection of quality CBD products, including tinctures, gummies, and flower. Life is already struggle enough in so many ways. On my view, every being alive deserves the chance at a happier, healthier, more peaceful experience of existence if at all possible. Wholeness is a birthright; and psychedelic therapies are unquantifiably vital to the end of helping to facilitate precisely that. I highly recommend this "Gateway" to infinite possibility. We are so fortunate to have it here.

I was immediately put at ease. Dr. Lalani took his time asked many questions. Did a physical to see the area that was in question. He explained to me what he was going to do. He would start with a numbing shot which was not close to what I had feared. He had a male nurse assist him who was terrific. I was given an epidural which sounds worse than it is. Dr. Lalani talked to me the entire time truly easy my nerves. One two three and done. I was thrilled to be on the other side. It was no where close to what I had built up in my mind. His bedside manner is a plus. Really gave me confidence that I was exactly where I needed to be. He will of course follow up. And I am grateful to have been given his name.
