Product Description

Known For: San Diego’s most insurance-friendly ketamine provider, offering IV ketamine, Spravato, and TMS while accepting 15+ major insurance plans including Medi-Cal and Medicare.

HealingMaps Take: SD Wellness Group addresses what is arguably the biggest barrier to ketamine therapy: cost. While most ketamine clinics require out-of-pocket payment, SD Wellness Group is in-network with over 15 major insurance providers — including Medi-Cal, Medicare, Tricare, and every major commercial carrier. Combining IV ketamine, Spravato, TMS, psychiatry, and therapy in the Hillcrest neighborhood, the practice offers a comprehensive mental health hub where insurance can cover a significant portion of treatment.

What People Like

The insurance acceptance is the standout feature — few ketamine providers anywhere accept this many plans, and the inclusion of Medi-Cal and Medicare dramatically expands access for underserved populations. Having IV ketamine, Spravato, TMS, psychiatry, and therapy all in one location eliminates the need for referrals between providers. The central Hillcrest location is accessible from throughout the metro.

What People Don’t Like

The practice does not prominently list its clinical team online, making it harder for patients to research specific providers before their first visit. KAP is not offered. The broad insurance acceptance may mean higher patient volume and potentially longer wait times for appointments.
