I am profoundly grateful to Dr. Ko and his team for their expert care and compassion. I received six IV ketamine treatments, and a stellate ganglion block, to treat anxiety, depression, PTSD, and alcohol use disorder. I was very nervous to try these treatments, but truly believe they were a HUGE part of my healing journey. Dr. Ko has a true passion for healing and a wealth of knowledge. I highly recommend these treatments!
I cannot thank Dr. Ko enough for the life-changing care I received through ketamine therapy. After struggling with depression and anxiety 40+ years, and trying countless treatments with limited results, I was feeling hopeless. Dr. Ko’s compassionate and thoughtful approach immediately put me at ease. He took the time to listen, explain the process thoroughly, and tailored the therapy specifically to my needs.
The results have been nothing short of remarkable. After just a few sessions, I noticed a profound shift in my mood, clarity, and overall sense of well-being. I felt lighter, more present, and able to reconnect with parts of myself that had been shut down for years. Dr. Ko provided a safe and supportive environment throughout the journey, and his expertise and genuine care made all the difference.
This therapy has given me a new perspective on life, and for the first time in a long time, I feel hopeful and empowered. I highly recommend Dr. Ko to anyone considering ketamine therapy—he is a true professional and a deeply compassionate healer. My experience was transformative, and I’m so grateful to have found such exceptional care.

I met Dr. Sam Ko in 2017 when he was an ER doctor at Loma Linda, and I was having a mental health crisis. The hospital psychiatrists were going to send me home without treatment, and he fought and worked it out to give me a small dose of ketamine in the ER to help my suicidal ideations. I was in the middle of a chaotic ER, but he did everything he could to make the experience calming--he gave me his phone with a soothing playlist, a blackout mask, and talked me through some breathing exercises. The dose of ketamine really helped me get through that day, and I always remembered Dr. Ko from that day. Fast forward a few years, and I discovered he had opened Reset Ketamine near me. Recently, I went to Dr. Ko for Stellate-Ganglion Blocks (SGBs), and I found the experience to be very comforting. Though this is a procedure requiring medical sanitization and procedure, Dr. Ko makes the clinic as Zen as possible. Everyone involved in the procedure sets an intention, including the patient, and he talks you through every part of it. Dr. Ko is just a kind, caring, honest and knowledgeable physician, and his staff is the same way. I would not ever hesitate to recommend Reset Ketamine if you are looking for science-backed alternatives for your mental health care.

I have finished the initial 6 Ketamine sessions and one booster session. First, let me say that Dr. Ko is the most caring and compassionate doctor that I have ever experienced. I have had 20 orthopedic surgeries and have had a multitude of experiences with many doctors. Dr. Ko is by far, the most professional and knowledgeable doctor I’ve experienced. He has helped me greatly. His staff is just as caring and compassionate. They are fantastic. God bless them all.

I had the privilege of being treated by Dr. Ko and his wonderfully kind and caring staff. I suffered from debilitating migraines almost weekly for years. Dr.Ko’s clinic offered a treatment for migraines called a Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block - SPG Block ganglion block. I had my treatment in last August and it’s been highly effective. I was really nervous to do it, but I was exhausted living with these. The procedure was done with the upmost care and attention to detail and I felt like I was in the best hands. To this day 8 months later I haven’t had a migraine. Which is WILD!!!! If they ever come back, I’m going right back to Dr. Ko and his team. Thank you so much for all you do for the community and people hurting. The SPG gave me part of my life back. All the love, Lauren
