Truly a Miracle
Self-verified patient of Steven L Mandel - Posted on March 12th, 2017
After dealing with treatment resistant depression my whole life, I cannot express my gratitude enough for Dr. Mandel, his team, and the treatment itself; ketamine therapy. I tried EVERYTHING and my other doctors gave up on me. I had 6 infusions 4 months ago and life is the best its been since my childhood. I only hope it continues to last, but I know if I start to slip I can count on this to work for me and that is priceless.

I couldnt be happier with the care I received from Dr. Mandel and his staff. Everyone was so knowledgeable and helpful and I could feel how much they all really cared. I saw Dr. Mandel for iv ketamine infusions for my ocd and depression and my symptoms have been greatly reduced. I still have some intrusive thoughts but the depression is just about gone and I can concentrate so much better. It really is amazing.

Dr. Mandel is My Favorite Doctor
Self-verified patient of Steven L Mandel - Posted on January 28th, 2016
Dr. Mandel is the best doctor I have ever seen. He is knowledgeable and patient in addressing questions was reassuring when I had concerns. His compassion and sense of humor is so unique to that of a doctor. Of course, my favorite part about him is that he was able to relive me of my depression when no one else could for the past 20 years. I am forever grateful to him and all of the kind staff he has at Ketamine Clinics of Los Angeles.

Courteous and Kind Doctor and Staff
Self-verified patient of Steven L Mandel - Posted on November 19th, 2015
Dr. Mandel and his entire staff are very generous and kind. His nurse offered my mother coffee while she was waiting for me and they treated me like a friend, not a patient. All smiles and courtesy with them. Dr. Mandel was genuine in his concern for me and his desire to help and also realistic about my expectations. I felt safe and cared for throughout the entire process and most importantly have gotten great results from the ketamine therapy. I saw them 2 months ago and I still feel great. I hope it continues to last.

Ketamine Infusion Therapy
Depression Treatment | Chronic Pain Management | PTSD Relief

Dr. Mandel, a founding member and the first president of the American Society of Ketamine Physicians (ASKP), is a board-certified anesthesiologist with a master’s degree in psychology.
Innovative Treatment For Depression and Mood Disorders
A series of low-dose, intravenous infusions of ketamine administered over the course of two to three weeks can provide significant relief without the negative side effects associated with antidepressant medications. Since 2014, Ketamine Clinics Los Angeles has delivered results with over 13,000 infusions and maintained an 83% success rate - one of the highest rates of relief among any depression treatment center. KCLA is also the first and only Ketamine Clinic accredited by AAAASF, raising the bar on patient safety and comfort.
Complex Pain Management
Ketamine provides and effective alternative for pain management, especially patients who are narcotic resistant or prefer to avoid its negative side effects. For those who have found conventional treatment ineffective, Ketamine Infusions can reset pain receptors in the brain and restore a healthier balance, providing hope and relief.
Education, Training, and Background
Dr. Mandel completed his undergraduate education at New York University, earned a master's degree in psychology at the University of Cincinnati Graduate School, attended medical school at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine, and completed his post-graduate medical education at Massachusetts General Hospital and University of California in Los Angeles.
When he isn't caring for patients, Dr. Mandel enjoys spending time with his wife of 34 years, their four children, and their dog Magellan. He can also be found aboard a sailboat or on skis atop a mountain.
As an internationally-recognized pioneer in the use of Ketamine Infusion Therapy to treat depression, suicidality, PTSD, and chronic pain conditions, Dr. Mandel has appeared on television, radio, podcasts, and in numerous publications including: The Doctors, CBS, PBS, VICE, Inc Magazine, BuzzFeed, Wired, and LA Magazine. He has personally administered over 8,500 infusions since opening Ketamine Clinics Los Angeles in 2014.
