Dr. Goyal and nurse Pile made me feel very safe and at ease in the whole process. I feel that the ketamine treatment has been a success thus far in my depression and healing process. Great tool if traditional medicines are not working.

Dr Goyal is a kind, professional, knowledgeable and a very empathetic doctor. He takes the time to answer questions and truly cares about his patients. Ketamine is life changing for those of us who suffer on a daily basis from PTSD and depression. The treatment has been really effective in helping my depression and hyper vigilance that traditional practices and medicine couldn’t help. I fully recommend and am very grateful that I found this provider.

I have received six infusions for my Parkinson's and depression. Dr. Goyal was informative and supportive throughout my treatment process. He reminds me of old school doctors who used to take time to speak with the patient and show interest that they care.

Profession and Honest
I have suffered from anxiety and PTSD since age 18. I have tried multiple medications and therapies with some success but end result was the same- no improvement. I was recommended this practice by my therapist for ketamine. I was quite nervous, but Dr. Goyal was very nice and explained everything to me. He told me most patients are nervous prior to their first infusion and it is normal to feel that way. After the first infusion, every patient knows what to expect and no one feels nervousness. His words were true. I felt so much better after my session. Dr. Goyal was also very attentive to my personal needs and my difficult work schedule. He customized my treatment days and times in such a way that that I was able to finish my ketamine sessions without any issues. Awesome medication, relaxing office atmosphere and excellent doctor and staff. Recommend Dr. Goyal and his staff without any hesitation.

I have finished six ketamine infusions for my depression in Dr. Goyal's practice. ketamine infusions are life changing. I am still not 100% better but much better to the point where I can enjoy my work and life. Office atmosphere was very soothing and almost no wait time. Dr Goyal is very passionate about what he does. He was always available to answer any questions I had. very down to earth, honest and nice demeanor. I wish he has internal medicine practice. I recommend him highly without any reservations.

ketamine Wellness Medical Practice
I have suffered from PTSD and major depression since age 17. I tried almost every oral medication out there with no success. I was referred to Dr. Goyal by my psychiatrist for intravenous ketamine infusions. Dr. Goyal was nice and informative. He took his time to listen to my problems. I was nervous but felt better after he explained to me about ketamine and that how safe and effective ketamine really is. I noticed no change after my first infusion but after 3rd infusion, my mother noticed some improvement. Now I am receiving my monthly maintenance infusion and I am able to function better. I highly recommend Dr. Goyal!
