He was quite snippy, and refused to answer any of my questions - even though their website invites people to call them with any questions. He repeatedly tried to get me to set up an appointment for their "free consultation". When I asked about their fees, if they accept insurance, etc, this guy just kept robotically repeating "All-your-questions-will-be-answered-at-the-free-consultation". I finally told him that this whole thing sounds pretty hokey to me, and I hung up.

I have smoked for over 40 years!! I have tried Chantex, Welbutrin, the patch, gum, cold turkey and…read morelozenges. I have tried everything possible and have only made it a few hours before the urge to smoke overwhelmed the common sense to quit. I knew about Hypnosis, and I wanted to try, but I wanted to make sure I was going to the right place. After doing a lot of research, I found Albany Hypnosis Center and was bless to meet Deborah Nettles. The experience from the first Zoom meeting and everyone after has been truly amazing. Our first meeting was via Zoom and surprising, Deborah was able to hypnotize me via Zoom!!!!! I asked for our next meeting to be in person and I arrived at her office and was so pleasantly surprised on how tailored everything was to my history, my personal perception of smoking and how it affected my life and my daily activities. Deborah Hypnotized me and I have not smoke since. We had two more follow up sessions and since the original Zoom meeting was so successful, I wanted the second and third sessions to be via zoom (because I have a very busy work schedule, like so many other people). I am still smoke free and I have not struggled with any withdraw. The only thing that I have had to remind myself of is that I no longer smoke! I sometimes find, I reach for my purse out of old habits and quickly realize that I don't smoke and then the whole thought of smoking is somehow dismissed from my mind. I have been out in public and find the smell of smokers actually bothers me. To say I can't believe I am saying all this is an understatement. I have smoked for over 40 years and NEVER thought I could possibly stop and here I am today, smoke free, and so very proud of myself. I actually don't feel like I was ever a smoker and I just can't figure out how three sessions with Deborah changed my entire life. People that have known me for most of my life truly thought that after so many years, that there was no way I could ever quit. And yet here I am...smoke free and truly not even missing it! I am forever grateful to Deborah for her commitment to fine tune her professional craft in order to help people overcome the impossible.

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.

One thing that stuck out on my first visit to her was how thorough she was in her consultation, and in the same vain, how much she listened. Her massage therapy has helped me tremendously. Through her care, I have gone from not feeling so well physically, to feeling great! As a bonus, I received another benefit that was almost as valuable. She's taught me a lot about my physiology and how to maintain my newly acquired flexibility so I can feel great all the time. Joyce is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and caring. Without question, I recommend anyone needing massage therapy to make an appointment with her.

As I was very…read morenervous about my first session (since I NEVER had a massage before), she talked to me about my issues and what her plan of treatment was going to be. She seemed very knowledgeable and was extremely pleasant. She made my first session a positive one as I was able to relax and indulge in the moment, although in pain. As one session will not heal you or anyone, who has an injury as I did. But I was looking for relaxation upon my first session and she exceeded that goal. Needless to say I will never fear massage therapy again. As treatments continued I became more relaxed and comfortable with each session. The treatments have been an extremely positive outcome for my healing process. She has giving me many useful suggestions on ways to relieve pain and discomfort on my injured areas. With each session, it seems like the first (except I am not nervous anymore). She assesses how I am feeling physically and what her plan of treatment should be for that session. As I suffer from depression, she previously posted an article on her Facebook page regarding how massage therapy helps with depression. That article is so on point, the therapy that I have received not only has/is helping me physically but also emotionally/mentally. Joyce I am truly grateful, for all the time and patience you have given me, for the knowledge of knowing how to treat my injuries and most of all for listening, not with your ears, but with your heart. You are truly one of a kind. May God continue to bless you in all that you do.

Medical professional care addressed the symptoms with very little success and many unpleasant side effects.

I am still, after a year on no medication at all, feel wonder, and have no more fear of the consequences of high blood pressure. Mr. Guarino is forthright, puts you at ease and has changed my life.

I don't crave or even think about them, they truly are a non-issue now! Why didn't I try hypnosis earlier?! It's been 2 months now and even more importantly than losing weight (hooray), is the feeling I am now in control of my eating options. I'm eating both healthy and smaller portions at meals, and drinking more water, all with the gentle suggestions of hypnosis. You get what you pay for, and I feel like I've struck gold.
