I have been a patient with Advanced Wellness and Pain for 2 years now. I had severe post-partum anxiety a few years ago and hid it for awhile. But I found this clinic and through their ketamine infusions and integrative daily practice, I feel like a changed individual. I now know how crucial it is to put my mental health first so I can continue to show up as the best version of myself for my family. I am so excited that they opened a Gilbert location recently, as it is closer to me. This way, I can continue maintenance therapy and also for IV vitamin infusions as needed. I went to their grand opening recently, and I was amazed at how beautiful the clinic was! There are so many breath-taking visionary artworks throughout the space and looking at them, I'm mesmerized, it's just healing within itself. Dr. Leathem, Dr. Sharma and Dr. Wong at Advanced Wellness and Pain have been wonderful and I can't thank them enough for this positive life experience. I have also had the pleasure of meeting their wonderful receptionists Rose & Dani, their personalities are calming and nurturing. I can understand how hard it is to find a clinic for healing when in a vulnerable state. But I assure you, you will feel so incredibly well-cared for in a safe space. Best wishes to Advanced Wellness and Pain! I am so grateful we have crossed paths in my journey! read more

Gilbert Ketamine Therapy Clinic - Front lobby - IV Hydration Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

The staff is welcoming and warming. I had done 12 ketamine treatments at another clinic spending much more without relief od symptoms. My dx is PTSD and anxiety. This clinic is next level and exceeded all expectations. Dr Lathem is the best. They cater to you as a person and really listen. Then they assign you a personal couch to enhance/optimize the experience. It is priced higher than others but the amenities and attention is worth it. Please use this referral as a reference if you want treatment. It will get you a free follow up treatment read more

This review is regarding my first hand experience seeking information on various programs offered and to ultimately schedule treatment at the company's Gilbert facility. Despite advertising treatments for mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma, it appears this clinic lacks the necessary in-house expertise to effectively understand the unique needs of individuals with these conditions which appear to be outsourced to others (aside from the Ketamine infusions conducted by the owners). The owners, who are anesthesiologists by trade, clearly all have qualifications and expertise in treating pain, and freely admit their specialty is in pain and not in mental health matters. However, depending who you talk to during your consult, they might even attempt to convince you to quit your meds, even if prescribed and are working effectively. During one inquiry, one of the owners/anesthesiologists couldn't even explain the basics of their "Combined Ketamine Treatment and Neurofeedback Therapy for Improved Mental Health" or how it worked and recommended I watch a video to figure it out as he only deals with the ketamine infusion aspect, further highlighting a significant detachment from crucial aspects of patient care. The dismissive and narrow-minded attitude of at least one owner/DO towards diversity of perspectives for patient care is appalling. When presented with information or experiences not fully aligned with his beliefs, he callously brushed them off, stating, "I don't care [about your experiences]...you are never going to change my mind" at which point a "patient" spontaneously arrived, he abruptly ended the call with no resolution or offer to speak later to answer the ONE question I actually called about in the first place. This blatant disregard for patient concerns and experiences is utterly unconscionable in any healthcare setting and speaks volumes about the lack of empathy and professionalism at this clinic, at least from one of their providers. As a for-profit corporation, it is clear one of their primary focuses seems to be on maximizing profits rather than prioritizing patient well-being. The three primary doctors are also the owners, who seem to also do the intake, consultations, offer treatment recommendations, and price quotes. Conflicting price quotes that I received for the same treatment package within a day from two separate individuals raise serious ethical concerns. It's evident that financial incentives dominate which services and treatment recommendations this firm chooses to offer and supersede any genuine concern for patients' health and welfare. There are many options out there. Do your own research and look elsewhere for competent, compassionate, and coordinated care. read more

In my humble opinion this facility has been a huge help in the steps to better my self-awareness on how to manage my anxiety that's associated with the complex-PTSD I have been dealing with for years until I found a way to feel better. The doctors that run this facility are 100% there for your best interest and want to help people like me dealing with these particular metal health issues. They have been thorough with information while getting a sense of what you're actually going through. Just really understanding wanting me to feel better and having a stable peace of mind. I'm grateful because I have tried other places and they weren't even close to these caring and professional doctors. I'm off for a booster to keep myself feeling less agitated and ultimately, happier. read more

Mental illness or not! I think everyone should go through this experience! This is a game changer! It's life changing! I've never really understood how this helps people until experiencing my first ketamine infusion. Imagine being able to know how it feels to detach your anxiety from whatever is causing it. That's exactly what happened. I went in stressed out about needing to spend $90k on home renovations that needed to be done no matter what. That was on my mind and the stress. When I went in and I did my first infusion the stress disappeared but the thought of having to spend $90k was still there. I was being able to feel that, the thought of a stressful situation but not feeling the stress at all. It taught me something. What I got out of completing my ketamine therapy program, is that ketamine allows you to get into your own mind and understand the relationship between your emotions and the memory or events that it's attached to. And allowing you to detach those emotional feelings from whatever memory or event associated with those feelings. I realized that whatever caused me to be stressed and worried are 2 separate things. Being able to feel the detachment of the stress and worried feelings from what's causing me to be stressed and worried helped me to learn how to control my emotions and understand them. That's a game changer. It's an experience that you have to feel to truly understand what I mean. In the words of Dr Leathem, "it's like trying to describe a sunset to a blind person." The other thing I got from my ketamine experience is that it helped me realize what my primary priorities in life should be. Most of us forget what our primary priorities in life should be and focus on the wrong priorities. What ketamine did is that it helped me get into my own thoughts and made me realize what's really important to me in life and that we don't have a lot of time here in this world. This experience had made me reprioritize my life and rebuild my priorities around what's really important to me in life. This is why it's life changing along with being able to manage my emotions a lot better when stressful situation comes up. Keep in mind that ketamine is not a cure for anything and no one should go into this program expecting to be cured of anything. Ketamine is a tool that allows you to get into your own mind so that you'll understand yourself and your emotions a lot better. And it also allows you to know what it feels like to detach an emotional feeling from a memory or event. The program is included with intergration life coaching which was important to help guide me in making these new discoveries about myself, my emotions and the relationship between my emotions and myself. You have to want this for yourself to get the most out of it. You have to really want to change yourself. Ketamine allows you to be able to do that if you want it to. Thanks AWAP! AWAP made the experience amazing! They had cool artwork and decorations representing psychedelic medicine, really set the vibe. As you go through the infusion, you're on a zero gravity chair then progresses into the vibrating bed. You're listening to soothing music through headphones. You're super comfortable, you feel safe and feels like you're in good hands. Many ketamine clinics you'll feel like you're going in for chemotherapy. You don't want that. The vibe is everything for the best experience. Dr Leathem will give you one heck of an experience. Dr Wong is very smart and he can explain the science of the medicine and how it helps you detach from your emotional feelings. Dr Sharma will give you the best care. I've been infused by all 3 doctors. Oh, I forgot to mention with AWAP each session was a different experience each time. No 2 sessions we the same. read more
