Product Description

Known For: Multi-island ketamine provider with the most affordable IV ketamine pricing in Hawaii. Offers a unique mobile at-home infusion service and free veteran/first responder retreats across the islands.

HealingMaps Take: Hawaii Ketamine’s Honolulu location is the flagship of what has become the state’s most accessible ketamine practice. At $260 per mental health infusion, Dr. Shawn Bannister offers pricing that undercuts nearly every mainland competitor — a critical factor in a state where the cost of healthcare already runs well above the national average. But the real differentiator is the mobile infusion service: for patients on Oahu who cannot travel to the clinic due to disability, agoraphobia, or logistical barriers, Hawaii Ketamine will bring the treatment to their home. Add in the free veteran and first responder retreats, and this is a practice that is clearly mission-driven rather than margin-driven. Dr. Bannister’s anesthesiology background provides the clinical foundation patients need to feel safe during IV administration.

Patient Review

“Dr. Bannister is a godsend. After years of failed medications, my depression finally responded to ketamine. The pricing made it possible for me to complete a full series without going into debt, and the staff treated me like family from the first visit.”

What People Like

The most affordable IV ketamine pricing in Hawaii at $260 per mental health infusion. The mobile at-home infusion service is unique in the state and eliminates a major access barrier for homebound patients. Dr. Bannister’s anesthesiology background provides strong clinical credibility for IV administration. Free veteran and first responder retreat program demonstrates genuine community commitment. PPO insurance patients may be reimbursed up to 50% of treatment costs.

What People Don’t Like

KAP (ketamine-assisted psychotherapy) is not offered — the model is infusion-only. The practice does not accept insurance directly for compounded ketamine, so patients must navigate the reimbursement process themselves. NeurOptimal neurofeedback, while offered, is not FDA-cleared as a medical device. As a multi-island practice, the Honolulu provider’s schedule may vary depending on travel to other island locations.
