That may sound a bit overstated, but at my age, ( and I have to tell you I've never eaten a healthy diet) It was mind boggling! All of my meals contained dairy or were full of gluten. There is so much information & misinformation out there and no one to turn to for help & support. My Dr. Dx'd me, gave me a diet,some pamphlets & sent me on my way, Totally lost.

She's given me the tools to deal with this problem, the rest of my life.

They receives 4-hour Ketamine infusions once to twice per month at Albany Ketamine Infusions, and it is one of the few times that they get a break from their constant pain. Additionally, they are prescribed Ketamine troches for daily pain. Dr. Hansen is an excellent physician--knows his stuff, is friendly, has empathy, is willing to think outside the box, and yet is very professional. I can't say enough good things about him. Office staff is very nice and accommodating, and the facilities are clean and modern. My only complaint is that his one wheel chair needs new brakes.

I have suffered with major depression for the last 15 years. In September 2021 my pharmacist…read morerecommended I investigate ketamine infusion therapy as a possible treatment for my depression. I have been on numerous anti-depressant drugs over the last 15 years and at best they marginally produced a benefit. Most of the time I suffered with the side effects. I researched and found Albany ketamine infusions through a Google search. I reached out to them by phone and was very pleased with the warm and understanding conversation that ensued. At the end of the call I had been set up with an appointment within a few days and emailed some forms to fill. When I Arrived I was greeted by Dr. Hansen and his staff. I was surprised that Dr. Hansen himself spent over 45 minutes with me discussing my medical and personal history to understand where I was at and how I got there. My first infusion was Administered immediately after my counseling session. If I had to describe the experience to somebody it would be "one of the most relaxing and comforting hour I had in a very long time" At the end of the infusion I was given all the time I needed to recollect myself. I returned for five additional infusions but the magic happened the morning after my third session. Good morning after I woke and for the first time in over a decade I felt like my old self. I have energy, focus and a joy for life again. It was a transformative experience. The fog of my depression was lifted and I felt awesome. It has been six months since I started with Albany Ketamine Infusions and I actually feel better than I did the morning I woke. After my six sessions I have returned for two more infusions. If you are suffering from untreatable depression, post traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder or anxiety, don't hesitate, pick up the phone and call them. It was life-changing for me my only regret is not knowing that they existed. If it hadn't been for a random conversation with my pharmacist I still would not know about ketamine or Albany Ketamine Infusions. I'm not living with depression any longer. I still take a low dose of an anti-depressant but my view of the world and myself is completely different.

When we can't see each other can you really be sure that the person is OK? Setting eyes on people is the best way to look at behavior. I felt misunderstood and judged which was probably not her intention. However she couldn't see the tears in my eyes at the end of the session. Since for some reason, we've stopped the face-to-face in person therapy perhaps you can consider some virtual platform where you can actually see your patients. Thank you. you did allow me to recognize that this was not the right fit, and the motivation to move on. Thanks for that. I a great team and I'm gonna be OK.
