Ketamine treatment
Ketamine has been studied for treatment-resistant depression. A 2023 randomized trial compared IV ketamine with ECT in adults with nonpsychotic treatment-resistant major depression; its findings do not apply automatically to psychotic depression, every patient or every route. FDA-approved Spravato is esketamine, a different medication and administration program.

James Fox, MD publishes a Summerville-specific Spravato service. Spravato is nasal esketamine administered in a certified healthcare setting, not an IV infusion. Ask the practice about screening, its current North Cedar Street appointment address and insurance authorization before scheduling.
Confirm the Summerville office and suite with the practice before arranging pickup. If looking farther toward Charleston or Mount Pleasant for a different administration route, compare the ongoing visit schedule and transport requirements, not only the first appointment.
A listing identifies an independent practice, not an endorsement or a promise of treatment results. Ask the office which licensed clinician evaluates your history, which administration route is available at that address and how it coordinates ongoing psychiatric or pain care. Treatment for anxiety, PTSD, OCD and chronic pain has different evidence and off-label considerations; a depression study does not establish effectiveness for every condition.

We do not publish an assumed local or statewide price. Ask the selected practice for a written estimate covering the assessment, medication, administration, monitoring, psychotherapy if included and follow-up visits. IV or compounded ketamine for psychiatric conditions is off-label and often self-pay. Spravato coverage depends on your diagnosis, plan, prior authorization, network and cost sharing; approval is not guaranteed.
Official Spravato patient support can help identify questions to ask, but is not a substitute for confirming your individual benefits with your insurer and clinic. Ask whether drug and visit charges are billed separately and whether maintenance visits have additional costs.
Confirm the Summerville office and suite with the practice before arranging pickup. If looking farther toward Charleston or Mount Pleasant for a different administration route, compare the ongoing visit schedule and transport requirements, not only the first appointment.
Spravato is administered under supervision in a certified healthcare setting, with monitoring for at least two hours. Arrange transportation home and do not drive until the next day after restful sleep. Follow your clinician's specific instructions for other ketamine treatments. Ask who manages medications, who provides follow-up and whom to contact between visits.

Spravato is FDA-approved esketamine, not the same as ketamine infusions. Coverage is not guaranteed. Check eligibility, prior authorization, network status, drug and visit charges, deductibles and copays with your insurer and clinic.
Spravato requires a certified healthcare setting and monitoring for at least two hours. Arrange transport home; do not drive until the next day after restful sleep. For other ketamine treatments, follow your clinician's instructions. Follow-up and maintenance depend on response and tolerability.
Ask who manages your medications, how your usual clinician will receive updates, and whom to contact between visits. Neither a shortage designation nor local depression statistics show that ketamine is appropriate or effective for you. Consult a licensed physician.
Use these questions when you call or book a consultation with any Summerville provider.
Ask whether a physician, psychiatrist or anesthesiologist oversees each session and who you can reach afterward.
A good clinic reviews your history, medications, blood pressure and past treatments before recommending ketamine.
Look for continuous vital-sign monitoring and a calm, private recovery space.
IV infusions, Spravato® nasal spray, IM or sublingual options suit different goals and budgets.
Ask how the clinic coordinates with your therapist or offers integration support between sessions.
Request a written estimate for the first series and any maintenance sessions before you start.
