Serving Westside & nearby
Not a Westside storefront — a real clinic you can drive to
Westside Jacksonville patients typically take I-10 or Roosevelt into San Marco for clinic appointments. We also regularly see patients from Ortega, Riverside, Avondale. There is no separate Westside address to memorize: every infusion happens at The Practice in San Marco, with the same provider and the same private rooms.
That matters for safety and consistency. Ketamine infusions require continuous monitoring in a clinical setting. A short drive from Westside beats a patchwork of pop-up or med-spa settings that cannot offer full psychiatric oversight.
Why patients drive from Westside
Integrated ketamine care — not a one-off drip
One provider, full picture
If you live in Westside, you shouldn’t need separate offices for psychiatry, infusions, and follow-up. One board-certified psychiatric provider directs your plan from consult through maintenance.
A short, predictable drive
Westside Jacksonville patients typically take I-10 or Roosevelt into San Marco for clinic appointments. Plan on roughly 20 minutes each way for infusion days — most patients schedule around work or school without overnight travel.

Your provider explains the protocol, monitoring, visit schedule, and next steps before treatment begins. There are no surprise clinical handoffs.

- Treatment-resistant depression after two or more medication trials
- Persistent anxiety or PTSD symptoms that haven’t responded adequately
- Certain chronic pain conditions (CRPS, neuropathy) under a pain-informed protocol
- Adults who can arrange a driver for infusion days and commit to a short series
