HealingMaps Take: Nushama brought a New York-style hospitality model to South Florida when it expanded to Aventura — private suites, concierge service, and an integrated clinician team. Its dual IV + Spravato offering makes it one of the few Miami-area clinics that can work with both cash-pay and insured patients.
Market Position: Nushama is a Spravato-certified clinic in the metro. Spravato (esketamine) is the FDA-approved ketamine treatment that most commercial insurance plans cover after prior authorization — unlike cash-pay IV ketamine.
Is Nova Spine & Pain Care Right for You?
✓ Choose Nova Spine & Pain Care if:
- Your primary concern is chronic pain — fibromyalgia, neuropathy, migraines, or CRPS
- You want IV ketamine delivered by an interventional pain practice
- You’re in Alpharetta, Canton, Lawrenceville, or the north/northeast metro
- You want physician-supervised infusions with medical monitoring
- You’d consider ketamine for pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments
✗ Look elsewhere if:
- You’re seeking ketamine primarily for depression, anxiety, or PTSD — a psychiatric clinic is a better fit
- You want Spravato (esketamine) or insurance-billable options — Nova offers IV ketamine only
- You want ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) or an embedded therapist

About Nushama
Nushama opened its Aventura location as the Florida expansion of its New York City flagship. The clinic was founded by Dr. Steven L. Mandel, one of the earliest physicians to bring ketamine therapy to mainstream mental health practice, and the Aventura outpost carries the same hospitality-forward model that built the brand in Manhattan.
The space is built around private journey suites rather than shared infusion bays. Each patient works with an intake clinician, sits with a dedicated sitter during dosing, and receives preparation and integration support from licensed professionals on the care team. Treatment formats include both IV ketamine infusions for cash-pay patients and Spravato (esketamine) for patients with insurance coverage that includes FDA-approved treatment-resistant depression protocols.
Conditions treated include treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, OCD, generalized and social anxiety, and high-functioning burnout. The standard IV ketamine protocol runs six sessions over two to three weeks, with boosters offered based on response. Spravato follows the FDA-approved schedule and requires a two-hour in-office observation per session.
Patients interested in Nushama should expect a thorough intake process including psychiatric screening, medication review, and goal-setting before any dosing is scheduled. Nushama does not accept walk-ins, and most insurance questions for Spravato are handled by the clinic’s benefits team in advance of the first visit.

Is Nova Spine & Pain Care suited for treatment-resistant depression?
