Ketamine La, Vitamin IV Therapy in Metairie, LA

I've been a Ketamine infusion patient of Dr. Ball's for almost three years. I've had incredible success with the treatment and honestly attribute the contributions of Dr. Ball and Ketamine infusions to making it through the hardest chapter of my life. When I learned about the Stellate Ganglion Block, I was on board but really didn't know what to expect as far as the rewards of the procedure. This is the best way I can describe it- Anxiety and spiraling overthinking, for me, are so strong that it becomes like a hollow pit below my rib cage. It's a physical feeling of tension and shortness of breath almost. Five days after my Stellate Ganglion Block, I took a deep breath and... It wasn't there anymore. I could literally feel the spot had released. THEN, some bad things happened- things exactly like past events that had sent me into a terrible headspace. But now, when these things happened, I was able to process the thoughts and feelings, actually make a plan of action, and MOVE THE HECK ON. I also have a serious nerve injury in my neck and a pinched nerve in my spine. I can say that both the Ketamine and nerve block have given me serious relief. The stalking and harassment has continued but I can honestly say- I feel strong and my thoughts feel organized and not like a storm of emotions. Between the Ketamine treatments and how they have helped to build on my mind's adaptability and chill and the nerve block that helped my body break the cycle... I can't recommend this enough. There is usually a super cute puppy in the office and you'll honestly love the nurses as well. The Stellate Ganglion Block and Ketamine infusions have helped me to stand strong in the waves of life and not be totally swept away by them anymore.

Dr. Ball and his staff at this facility are phenomenal. They’ve gotten me through the worst year of my life. Dr. Ball is attentive, compassionate and he genuinely cares about his patients health. I feel blessed to know him and his nurses. I couldn’t recommend him enough for anyone seeking out ketamine treatment for mental health or for treatment of painful nerve conditions.

Ketamine Infusion Center has improved my quality of life. It has helped the peripheral neuropathy in my feet and has helped address my treatment resistant depression. Making appointments is easy...they are very flexible and work around my schedule. Dr. Ball always takes time to talk with me before each treatment and is super knowledgeable The nurses that work there are wonderful. They always make me feel comfortable, relaxed and safe. The facility is state of the art... very clean and homey. I recommend this place without reservation.

This has been one of the best decisions of my life. I got into a dark place for some unknown reason and just could not stop crying for days and weeks on end. A friend had researched ketamine and suggested it to me. Dr Ball has impeccable credentials and the staff is wonderfully caring. The initial treatment plan is six infusions over two weeks. After the second session, I felt like myself again. The protocol after the six is to follow up every month or six weeks for maintenance. I look forward to these sessions because I feel like it balances out my mood and sense of self. But the clinic did say that I could come back whenever I felt I needed to, they were always there. Two months after my initial regimen, I got diagnosed with a reoccurrence of bone cancer which really did a number on my pain levels and mood. I upped my treatments to once a week for a few weeks just to get over the initial shock and dismay of my diagnosis. The clinic has always been able to work with my schedule. I feel like they care about me as a person and consider them a large part of my care team. I would recommend them to anyone who is considering trying the therapy. The good news is that is doesn’t hurt to try. The better news is it can literally change your life!

Unfortunately, the experience I had of Dr. Ball's office is not one that I would not recommend to others. I had three sessions at Dr. Ball's office. Before my first sessions I reached out to the office recommended counselor about including integration into my treatment. The counselor never responded. Meeting Dr. Ball he seemed enthusiastic about his work and said that he would reach out about the counselor not responding. My first session I was given Propofol. The medication is given in combination with the ketamine is to tone down the “ trippiness”. This was the first time I had received propofol having come from another ketamine clinic outside the state. I understand I was given the medication to see what type of patient I was but unfortunately the drug hindered my experience. I expressed this to the nurse and her response was “maybe you need actual therapy”. This comment was completely out of line and being that I work in the mental health field and I am more qualified to make that decision than she is. Also, is ketamine not therapy? I asked if I would be able to speak to the doctor. The nurse told me “no, the the doctor does not speak to patients under the influence.” She went on to say a few more things I didn't quite pick up on and I asked her to repeat herself. She cocked her head and gave me a “ I told you this is why we don't speak to patients under the influence look.” My message was simple. I did not want propofol in my next session. After some patient shaming and back and forth with the nurse we did manage to come to an understanding. My second session was wonderful and so was my nurse who was different from my first session. She was very committed to my session and my journey. She made every effort to make me comfortable and meet any requests I made. No Propofol this time. My third session was another disappointment. During ketamine therapy the dosage is increased each time, but Dr. Ball did not do this. I had difficulty getting comfortable, the playlist I had chosen wasn't working out. I finally got comfortable and found a playlist that worked for me but unfortunately the ketamine kept dudding out during my experience because the dosage was wrong. I started to become frustrated and expressed it to my nurse. She blew off the emotions as something that I needed to express through ketamine. I went to reach out to my nurse a second time and to tell her to end the session, that things weren't working out, but as I was doing so the session ended. I again explained to the same nurse that had patient shamed me before that I was frustrated at the experience. She blamed me and said I should have listened through my playlist previously before coming in and that's why I was frustrated. I responded that I had chosen the playlist the night before. Two out of three experiences with this clinic, the dosage was incorrect and I was patient shamed by the same nurse several times when I was emotionally vulnerable. Dr. Ball said that he would follow up after my third session but never did. I doubt he even followed up with the integration counselor about not responding. The nurse that patient shamed me does not have the compassion to be working in mental health. This may be confusing to other clients because she makes off color comments in a very calming voice and manner. I left the clinic feeling that it was not a safe place to be emotionally vulnerable. I regret spending $1500 there considering the poor treatment I received. There are other ketamine clinics in the New Orleans area and options to do ketamine at home. I suggest that you explore those options.
