How Ketamine Therapy Works at Haven
Free Intro Call (Optional)
A brief 10–15 minute phone or video call to answer your questions, review whether ketamine might be appropriate, and walk you through the process and pricing.
Medical Evaluation
You'll meet one-on-one with the physician for a comprehensive review of your medical and mental health history, current medications, and goals. Together, you'll decide if ketamine therapy is a good fit.
Infusion Series
Most patients begin with a short series of IV ketamine infusions over several weeks. Each treatment lasts about 60–90 minutes in a private room with continuous monitoring and a registered nurse (RN) present.
Integration & Follow-Up
After each session, we review how you're feeling, track changes in your symptoms over time, and adjust your plan as needed. When possible, we coordinate with your therapist, psychiatrist, or primary care clinician.
Ongoing Support
If ketamine is helpful for you, we'll discuss options for occasional maintenance infusions and pair them with therapy, lifestyle changes, and other supports so treatment becomes part of a long-term wellness strategy—not a one-off event.
Safety Comes First
Ketamine is a powerful medication. At Haven, it's treated that way.
- All treatments are administered on-site under direct medical supervision.
- You'll be continuously monitored with medical-grade equipment (blood pressure, oxygen, heart rate).
- Emergency equipment and medications are on hand, similar to a hospital-based setting.
- Doses are individualized based on your medical history, response, and current evidence.
- We do not send patients home with IV ketamine, and we do not provide unsupervised take-home injectable ketamine.
Transparent, Cash-Based Pricing
We operate as a cash-based practice so we can spend more time with you and less time fighting insurance. Many patients are able to use HSA or FSA funds, and we can provide documentation to submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
Meet the Physician Behind Haven
Saud Siddiqui, M.D.
- Board-certified in Emergency Medicine (ABEM)
- Fully licensed physician in California
- Background in acute care, procedural sedation, and medical education
Haven Ketamine is led by Dr. Saud Siddiqui, a board-certified emergency medicine physician with extensive experience caring for patients in high-acuity settings and safely using ketamine for procedural sedation. He completed his medical training at UC Irvine and The George Washington University Hospital, a busy Level I trauma center in Washington, D.C., before practicing emergency medicine in Los Angeles.
After years in acute care and medical education, Dr. Siddiqui saw how many people continued to struggle despite traditional treatments. He created Haven as a calm, physician-led space where patients can access evidence-based ketamine therapy with hospital-level safety and a boutique, private experience. Education is central to his approach—every patient receives clear guidance, thoughtful conversation, and personalized care.
Questions People Ask Before Starting
How is ketamine therapy different from regular antidepressants?
Traditional antidepressants (like SSRIs) can take 6–8 weeks to work and don't work for everyone. Ketamine works through a different mechanism in the brain and many patients notice improvement within hours to days. It's often used when traditional treatments haven't been effective.
Is ketamine therapy safe?
When administered by a qualified physician in a medical setting, ketamine is very safe. It has been used in emergency rooms and operating rooms for over 50 years. At Haven, you'll be continuously monitored during treatment, and we screen carefully to ensure ketamine is appropriate for you.
Will I be "tripping" or have a psychedelic experience?
Some patients have mild perceptual changes during the infusion (like feeling floaty or dreamlike), but this is temporary and happens only while the medication is being administered. The goal is therapeutic benefit, not a psychedelic experience. You'll be in a calm, safe environment the entire time.
Do I need a referral from my psychiatrist or therapist?
No formal referral is required, but we strongly encourage open communication with your existing providers. Ketamine works best as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes therapy and other supports.
