HealingMaps Take: Phos pairs an anesthesiologist medical director with a partnered integration therapist (Karly Salcido) — uncommon in LA’s ketamine market, where IV-only clinics and therapy-frame KAP clinics typically operate separately. The Westwood location anchors the UCLA / West LA corridor. Spravato is listed as coming soon, which would round out the modality menu.
Market Position: Phos Wellness occupies the middle ground in LA’s ketamine market — medical-model IV ketamine administered by an anesthesiologist, paired with structured ketamine-assisted therapy integration from a partnered licensed therapist.
Is Phos Wellness Right for You?
✓ Choose Phos Wellness if:
- You want IV ketamine administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist (rare in outpatient ketamine settings)
- You’re interested in ketamine-assisted therapy integration with an experienced partnered therapist rather than dosing-only
- You’re located in Westwood, UCLA area, West LA, Beverly Hills, or Santa Monica
- You want at-home telehealth continuation for established patients (available)
✗ Look elsewhere if:
- You need Spravato now — Phos has it listed as “coming soon” and isn’t yet a Spravato-certified provider
- You need ketamine within a fully insurance-covered framework — IV ketamine at Phos is cash-pay (HSA/FSA eligible)

Patient Review
“Phos was the right balance of medical and therapeutic for me — Dr. Riley’s anesthesia background meant I felt safe during dosing, and the integration work with Karly afterward helped me actually use the experience. Most LA clinics offer one or the other; Phos has both.” — patient testimonial, paraphrased from public reviews
About Phos Wellness
Phos Wellness operates from 1762 Westwood Boulevard, Suite 320 in Los Angeles, serving the UCLA / West LA corridor with IV ketamine therapy and ketamine-assisted therapy integration. The clinic’s medical director is Dr. Christa Riley, a board-certified anesthesiologist who personally administers and monitors IV ketamine sessions.
Ketamine-assisted therapy integration is delivered in partnership with Karly Salcido, a neurobiologically-informed therapist who works either with the patient’s existing therapist or as the in-clinic integration provider. This pairing — anesthesiology medical model plus structured therapy integration — is uncommon in LA’s ketamine market, where IV-only clinics and therapy-frame KAP clinics typically operate separately.
Conditions treated include treatment-resistant depression, generalized and social anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, migraines, OCD, passive suicidal ideation, substance cravings, and psychiatric medication tapering. Treatment formats include a standard mood-series IV induction, booster infusions, and dedicated pain protocols. IV wellness infusions (NAD+, Myers’ Cocktail, glutathione) are also available.
Spravato (esketamine) is listed as coming soon and will be insurance-covered when available; current IV ketamine is cash-pay with HSA/FSA eligibility. At-home telehealth ketamine is offered for established patients. Confirm pricing and current availability by calling (424) 278-4241.
