Catalyst Ketamine

“I'm very thankful to have come across this clinic, and I'm incredibly grateful to Dr. Ho. I'm in an era of positive mental health that I've not experienced in 30+ years. Dr. Ho listened to where I was in my life and met me there. Instead of trying to place me into a cookie-cutter care plan, he worked with me as a person. I think it's because he knew how to treat with compassion and proactive planning that I'm so well off. If you have the opportunity to meet with him, take it! The atmosphere in the clinic is very nice; it's clean, has personal items that make it feel homey, not sterile and bland. The staff are all around great and bring in a sense of calm. I'm aware that mental health has no end destination, but I'm enjoying the journey so much more.”

“We live in San Antonio, Texas, but for the past four months, we’ve been staying in Houston while I undergo treatment for leukemia at MD Anderson. During this difficult time, my wife and daughter have also needed to continue treatment for their chronic pain, and we were concerned about finding a doctor who could provide the same level of care they were accustomed to receiving. Fortunately, we found Dr. Michael Ho, whose office is conveniently located near the Texas Medical Center. As a physician who has practiced medicine for 43 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with and meet countless doctors throughout my career. I can say without hesitation that Dr. Ho is among the very best physicians I have encountered. What stands out about Dr. Ho is the combination of intelligence, compassion, and genuine concern he has for his patients. He takes the time to sit down, listen carefully, answer questions, and make sure you understand everything. You never feel rushed or like just another patient. He also has a great sense of humor, which makes visits much more comfortable and enjoyable. Most importantly, over the past few months, my wife and daughter have experienced as much relief from their chronic pain as they’ve ever had. Seeing them receive that kind of relief has meant a great deal to our family, especially during such a challenging time. I recommend Dr. Michael Ho without reservation. If you’re looking for a physician who truly listens, genuinely cares about his patients, and provides exceptional care, I believe you would be very fortunate to have Dr. Ho as your doctor.”

“I’ve had a very positive experience with Catalyst Ketamine and Dr. Michael Ho. From the beginning, I felt taken seriously and never felt rushed. Dr. Ho was professional, knowledgeable, and calm throughout the process. He took the time to explain the treatment, answer my questions, monitor me closely, and make sure I felt comfortable before leaving. What stood out most was how present and attentive he was. This kind of treatment can feel intimidating at first, but having an anesthesiologist directly involved made a big difference. I felt like I was in capable hands the entire time. The care felt personal, not generic. Dr. Ho listened, paid attention to how I was doing, and took time with me instead of treating it like a quick appointment. I’m genuinely grateful for my experience with Catalyst Ketamine and would recommend them to anyone seriously considering ketamine therapy and wanting to be medically monitored by someone who knows what they’re doing.”

“Catalyst Ketamine is a wonderful clinic. While the staff is great, Catalyst is defined by Dr. Ho. He is an exceptional physician who truly cares for his patients. Although he is clearly busy, he always makes time for me. He accommodates my hectic schedule and takes the time I need to answer questions, listen thoughtfully, and ensure a positive experience. I’ve experienced firsthand other physicians who are profit-driven, but he practices with integrity and genuine compassion. For example, another unnamed (but prominent) nearby clinic charged a steep cash consult fee before the scheduler informed me I could not actually receive treatment for over 4-5 weeks. Catalyst was immediately responsive, and I was seen the next day. The benefits of ketamine depend a lot on the experience around the infusions, and Dr. Ho himself is an important part of the therapeutic experience. Dr. Ho is an unabashed enthusiast in the science of medicine — he loves what he does and he loves the science behind it. I knew from the beginning, my health was going to be a priority. It’s easy to feel vulnerable in seasons of life when you are seeking relief, but this is a safe place committed to your success. Thanks to Dr. Ho, I achieved a health goal I once thought was impossible!! My goal was to titrate off my antidepressants completely so I could conceive without any medications in my system. After 12 treatments (and careful coordination with my psychiatrist), I am off ALL of my antidepressants. And I honestly feel better than I have in over a year. I’m so very grateful to Catalyst for helping me achieve this seemingly unreachable goal. Ketamine is not inexpensive, but Catalyst is much more reasonable than some of the competition, and the level of care is unmatched. I highly recommend Dr. Ho for his intelligence, compassion, and commitment.”
