Norcal Ketamine Infusion Centers

“never became a patient here, but I contacted this clinic multiple times before moving to Redding because I wanted to avoid a lapse in ketamine treatment that I have been receiving successfully for the past five years. Unfortunately, despite multiple inquiries, I never received meaningful follow-up, clear communication, or a sense of urgency regarding treatment. Given that these are self-pay services and often sought by patients who have exhausted other options, I found the lack of responsiveness concerning. I waited nearly three weeks before posting this review to ensure I was being fair and giving the clinic adequate time to respond. I cannot comment on the quality of care inside the clinic because I was never seen. However, my experience as a prospective patient was disappointing. In contrast, I contacted a clinic in Sacramento, received an intake appointment the next day, and was scheduled for treatment within two days. If you are seeking timely access to ketamine treatment, my personal recommendation would be to consider clinics in Sacramento rather than risk delays during an already difficult time. This review reflects my experience with communication, responsiveness, and the intake process only.”

“Morgan is the master! Great place. Soothing atmosphere. After 35 years of therapies, glad I found this option! Extremely caring and nurturing environment. Morgan keeps it real and is a HUGE resource. Recommend it to family and friends that something a little different from talk therapy. I feel 100% Safe and taken care of during treatment. I would suggest calling and talking to Morgan. He's a straight shooter with no BS. Thanks Morgan!”

“This treatment was literally LIFE changing for me! I was in a depression that meds were not helping, had just recently gotten off MAT treatment cold turkey and while I was maintaining life clean, I felt very disconnected from myself and having bouts of major depression and anxiety. I could quite honestly not see anything through a positive lense. I came to Dr. Lipman’s office in early October, and did one treatment that was transcendent and transforming, to say the least. I have not experienced anything like this, my depression is gone and I have been such a better/patient person in all aspects of my life. Morgan, who administered my treatment was very informative, humorous and laid back which made the experience very relaxing too. The office is extremely clean, professional and amazing. I HIGHLY recommend to anyone experiencing depression that meds cannot help, or if you’re simply in a rut that you have tried everything else… this works. 20/10 recommend:)”

“First off, I want to thank Morgan and Doctor Lipman for taking the time to see me. They were incredibly patient and answered every single one of my questions, concerns, and worries. Dr. Lipman took immediate action and unlike other clinicians that have dismissed me in the past, he addressed me with respect, while also actually listening to me. That alone was half the therapy I needed, to not feel ashamed for having all these contrived emotions that are always debilitating me, and I was offered help. Between my chronic conditions, CPTSD, anxiety, and treatment-resistant depression among other neurological disorders, I have been in a very bad place mentally. I‘ve had a therapist and psychiatrist for years, I have a great support system at home, and you would see me but never guess that I've been battling with so much irregardless. I have tried many prescription meds for depression throughout the years, but they either worsened the trauma or exacerbated physical conditions which made me bounce back into a deep dark hole I couldn't crawl myself out from. Some of these disorders that sometimes can be a blessing, can also be a major curse, get in my head in such a way that can cause and have caused damage not just to my mental health, but also amplify physical pain. It is incredibly challenging to see through the light when even your analytic brain gives validity to intrusive thoughts, thoughts of shame, fear, anger, worthlessness, and loneliness that you’ve been trying to bury for years. It’s even scarier when you’re an overthinker, because I always have to be prepared for the negatives, than to plan and enjoy even if for a brief moment an optimistic outcome. My brain defaults back into depression, while my body's autoimmune response is to attack itself and to add to my detriment, my emotional processing leaves me unable to find balance to cope. As if it wasn’t bad enough, we also have the stigma that comes attached to mental illness, and how society frowns upon promising treatments that can change one’s life, so add terror to the equation because forbid your people-pleasing heart-you let them down and forget about how critical it is to be mentally and physically able to find structure and peace in an environment where there is no support, often times by our very healthcare system. After considering other avenues to treat myself with the help of my therapist, I decided to look up whatever papers I could find with clinical trials on Psychedelics like Ketamine, to educate me better on a subject that is already very stigmatized in our society. This time though, putting aside whatever people may think of me to instead think about my well-being for a change. That's when I found out about NorCal’s Ketamine Infusion Centers, where Morgan and Doctor Lipman saw me and where I had my first Ketamine treatment. During one session, it felt as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders and I could think critically again but this time with self-love and compassion. Ten years of therapy in one session. Could you believe that? Well, you just have to try and find out for yourself as I did, but first, you have to open yourself to the possibility that there is hope for you, and take the first step into a path of healing. Don’t give up. You got this, there’s help. I’m looking forward to seeing how much of a significant difference one treatment alone will make in my life, but if I stumble, I’m glad that I found an additional support system that is there to ensure my quality of life is better not just for myself and my loved ones, but so that I may better serve my community, and it all starts here and now.”
