HealingMaps Take: Dr. Giuffra brings an extraordinary depth of personal ketamine experience — over 2,000 IM administrations across a decade. That volume of direct clinical experience with ketamine is rare among psychiatrists and translates to refined dosing protocols and the ability to handle complex cases. His psychiatric training means patients receive proper diagnostic assessment alongside treatment. For more options, see our guide to finding the best ketamine therapy clinics.
