Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Gateway Clinics from Marina del Rey?
Gateway Clinics is about 5 miles north of Marina del Rey, approximately 12-18 minutes via Lincoln Boulevard to Montana Avenue in Santa Monica.
Who should consider ketamine therapy?
Ketamine therapy is primarily recommended for patients who have not responded to traditional treatments. If you’ve tried two or more antidepressant medications, therapy, or other interventions without adequate improvement, you may be a candidate. It’s also used for patients with chronic pain conditions, PTSD, and acute suicidal ideation. Dr. Schenk evaluates each patient individually during a free consultation.
Will I be able to drive after my session?
No. You will need someone to drive you home after each ketamine infusion. The effects of the infusion — including drowsiness and altered perception — typically wear off within 1-2 hours, but we require a designated driver for safety. Plan to have a friend, family member, or rideshare available at the end of your 90-minute visit.
How do I start?
Call (424) 330-0000 to schedule your free consultation. Dr. Schenk meets with each prospective patient personally to evaluate their history and determine the best treatment approach. Most patients begin their first infusion within one week.
