HILLMED Stress Management

I sought out Ketamine treatments due to cervical, cranial and laryngeal dystonia. It is painful neuromuscular disorder that causes your muscles to over fire and become rigid with spasms. Think of a charlie horse that lasts for hours and sometimes permanently. It also causes chronic migraines. I had done immense research on how Ketamine can help with pain. I sought out this clinic because of the qualifications of Dr. Hill. I am a medical malpractice attorney so I am very picky on whom I will allow to treat me. Dr. Hill is kind and extremely knowledgeable about Ketamine. I would never consider doing Ketamine without a physician who has a deep knowledge of the medication. I have received Botox injections every three months for years to inactivate the muscle spasms. The Botox works to a degree but only for about 7 weeks and I still had daily fascial contractions that distorted my face. I had trouble with my head getting stuck in painful and awkward positions even with Botox. Ketamine with Dr. Hill has substantially changed my life. My face is 100% supple and without rigidity. My traps and neck are more loose than they have been since I was a child. I find that the effects do diminish over time due to the nature of this brain disorder. I go every three months to Dr. Hill, one month before the Botox. I also found that my stress levels have dropped exponentially. It is difficult having a disorder that limits your life. Dystonia also affects your dopamine production and serotonin retake. From the first session, I felt hopeful, less stressed and without darkness. I will not lie. I don’t love the experience of Ketamine. To people who say that someone should be in there talking to you, this is not supported by the medical literature I have read as it is works best when you are alone meditating. I even quit music so I can just be with the unique experience. The clinics doing therapy are at a dose that is not therapeutic according to the literature. These sessions are a great time to meditate and listen to your brain in a way that might be a little uncomfortable but extraordinary helpful. When I learned to relax and not fight the Ketamine as Dr. Hill always urged me to do, it got much better. But I consider this medical treatment and the goal is to do what is best for my brain disorder and to support healthy mental thoughts. It is not a massage or something just fun. It is a medicine to improve issues with your brain. I also must note that I have to go to the bathroom several times a session (ugh). Dr. Hill or his staff are quickly at my side assisting me every time. There is no cure for dystonia. But this is a treatment that frankly works better than Botox and together these medications have brought me so much pain relief and a calm happy mind.

Dr. Hill and his treatment completely changed my life. When I first came to see him, I was in one of the darkest periods I’ve ever faced. From the very beginning, Dr. Hill and Ms. Leslie welcomed me with such kindness, care, and understanding. They truly made me feel seen and supported through every step. Within just a few weeks, I found myself on a new path and healing in ways I never thought possible. I reunited with people I never imagined I would, and I began to feel whole again. The transformation has been so profound that I’ve become almost unrecognizable compared to where I once was. Dr. Hill’s compassion, wisdom, and dedication, together with Ms. Leslie’s incredible support, gave me back my purpose and hope. If you are debating coming here, please don’t hesitate, it will change your life for the better.

I had a terrible experience here. After your drip is started you are left alone with nothing but a bell to ring. Many times i would have to go to the bathroom and would ring the bell but no one would come. He gives you a questionaire to fill out and thats how he decides how much ketamine to give you. Well i was very depressed before one of our appointments and indicated it. He gave me way too much ketamine and i saw horrible things and was crying and moaning but no one came. Other ketamine centers have someone stay and talk with you. He also had to delay one of our appointments for an 8 hour plastic surgery he was doing right before coming to the clinic. Other ketamine places have the right idea with a therapist that sits with you and guides you. Many times the secretary would be the one to unhook my iv (after i would ring the bell over and over) so i could use the bathroom but when she hooked it back up the iv wouldnt flow so i wouldnt get the full dose. These practices seem very dangerous to me and the other ketamine places ive been to dont do this and are surprised when i mention the kind of experience i had with dr hill
