For those interested, I see a compassionate and caring pdoc who manages meds, does Ketamine IM shots and also uses TMS. Dr. Edward Fruitman is located in downtown Manhattan and also has an office in Long Island. Google him. He's the first pdoc in a while who's given me hope and didn't say he couldn't help me. Small words, big impact. And his ketamine shots pulled me out of a bad depressive period.
There's also Dr. Glen Brooks, while not a pdoc, a very caring, helpful and very seasoned anesthesiologist who performs ketamine infusions for depression and pain. He, too, is in Manhattan in midtown east.
It seems both docs are the only ones in the NYC area doing ketamine. I can't stress how positive the experience is with both docs. They are knowledgeable and sympathetic.
They both see patients from the tristate area and way beyond. I highly recommend both.
