Ketamine Lounge, Miami Beach FL

Profound experience. Professional facility.

I received my first IV ketamine treatment with Ketamine Lounge and I could not have had a better experience with this group of healthcare providers. From start to finish, the people who work here are phenomenal. I was a little nervous and did not know what to expect before the treatment. While doing my intake form with the nurse, she was very nice and non-judgmental when I answered her series of questions that were of a more personal nature. She made me feel heard and understood which is difficult to find in the medical field today. Then, while meeting with the NP prior to the treatment, I appreciated her professional yet relatable bedside manner which fostered a safe environment.

What I most appreciated was the curation of the atmosphere/setting where you receive the IV ketamine over a 45 minute session. Setting is crucial to optimizing a positive outcome, especially when considering psychedelic medicine. Their rooms are set up perfectly for a personal and introspective journey. The chair is a comfortable recliner, there are blankets offered if you are feeling cold or anxious, and the music was played through noise-cancelling headphones. Of note, the music is hand-selected by their staff and it was spot-on! The guided meditation in the beginning puts you in a relaxed state. Then, it's followed by a smooth and peaceful series of ambient selections. The entire treatment is done with an eye mask to facilitate a more introspective journey. I felt like I was floating down a canyon river on a clear blue day. There were times in the journey when my mind went dark but there was an occasional touch on my hand by the healthcare professionals overseeing the infusion which helped me stay grounded and quell any anxiety or fear.

As far as the actual infusion of ketamine, they infuse it at a slow and steady rate in the beginning, then it tapers down towards the end providing a very gentle experience overall.

Most important to me in a ketamine clinic where psychedelic medicine is being administered is knowing there are professionals around me who would be there to guide the experience from beginning to end in a comforting, non-judgemental way. It made my mind feel at ease when everything was explained to me before the treatment. Additionally, I felt assured knowing they had safeguards in place during the actual infusion. After the treatment was over, they let me hang out in a private room with some couches and chairs where I had a nice cup of hot tea.

This experience was incredible and I feel other medical facilities providing psychedelic medicine as a treatment option for mental health conditions should follow suit. Will be returning.

I truly loved my experience with the Tristar Wellness. The staff and doctors were incredibly kind, attentive and helpful. Not to mention that the ketamine was incredible! If you want an out of the world experience, 100% come here! Can not recommend enough.

Excellent service, staff very attentive. The Ketamine lounge was the best I have ever seen and the experience was outstanding.

Such a great place. I don’t know how to talk about it without it sounding dramatic, but serious shift and impact from a very bad place to feeling empowered and like there was a way through i was never able to see before.
