Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Gave me my life back
Dr Ball is an amazing man and even better doctor. He listens to you she communicates with you at every transfusion. I suffer from treatment resistant depression, migraines, fibromyalgia, and hypermobile Ehlers Danlos syndrome, plus some others. My depression just lifted away from me, and goes farther and farther with every infusion. I am functional again. My chronic widespread fibromyalgia pain is all but gone. And my migraines went from 10 to 15 days a month to 1 to 2, if any. My osteoarthritis pain from the EDS is much better too, although ketamine can't cure bone on bone damage. I use ketamine in combination with various medications, supplements, vitamins, talk therapy, physical therapy, and meditation to treat my whole body. Every time I go to ketamine I meditate first and have almost spiritual experiences. Listen to some good music too. I finally have my life back! Thanks to Dr Ball and his staff. They are great. And Mario is the cutest clinic pup ever.

Worked for me!
I tried everything for my neuropathic pain. Yes he explained that it doesn’t work on all pain and it’s not going to solve a physical abnormality but for me it was a life saver literally! He is honest.

I had so much hope that Dr. Ball and his Ketamine Clinic would help me. I spent $4000 (cash only) on infusions. I was in terrible pain and desperate for relief. I got relief for a few days. But no more. After all the infusions, I went to several other pain management doctors. They All told me that I had been scammed . They said his claims about neuropathic pain are laughable and apologized to me for having been given false hope. This business is a Cash Cow for the good doctor. He has every right to earn money. But it’s unethical to treat people for disorders that ketamine has no hope of providing Lasting relief. I was a Sucker and hope to help other people prevent what I went through.
