Meet Our Doctor

Steven L. Mandel, M.D.

Dr. Steven L. Mandel, a master of clinical psychology and a board-certified anesthesiologist with over 35 years of experience, founded Ketamine Clinics of Los Angeles with the intention to bring greater healing and quality of life to the millions of individuals battling chronic pain, depression, and various mood disorders. His extensive experience in the provision of anesthesia in both inpatient and outpatient settings for adults and children, along with his background in clinical psychology equip him with a rare expertise when administering IV Ketamine Infusion Therapy. In fact, Dr. Mandel is the only physician providing Ketamine Therapy to tout degrees in both fields.

Dr. Mandel’s passion for healing began at a young age, starting with nursing a robin back to health by feeding it with an eye-dropper after its unfortunate encounter with the neighborhood cat. Since then, he has become an internationally recognized pioneer in the treatment of depression, other mood disorders, and chronic pain conditions with IV Ketamine Infusion Therapy. To date, he has personally administered over 5,000 infusions to over 750 patients. By way of his contributions to IV Ketamine Infusion Therapy, he has been called upon by various television networks, podcasts, radio programs, and news outlets, such as The Doctors, WIRED video special, ROKU, PBS, CBS national news, WIRED Magazine, VICE, Los Angeles Magazine, Anesthesiology News, Yahoo News, and San Francisco Daily, to comment on the procedure. In addition, physicians from all over the United States seek his guidance in developing ketamine infusion clinics of their own.

Dr. Mandel is known for his integrity, compassion, and humor—he has an impeccable reputation among patients. See the testimonials on this website and visit the 50+ five-star reviews on his yelp page.

When he isn’t caring for patients, Dr. Mandel enjoys spending time with his wife of 32 years, their 4 children, and their golden retriever Magellan. He is also an avid outdoorsman, serving as a sailing instructor and fleet surgeon in Marina del Rey community boating and as a provider of outdoor emergency care as a member of the Mt. Baldy Ski Patrol.

Dr. Steven L. Mandel's Achievements | Ketamine Clinic of Los Angeles

I felt my spirits lift. I felt hope.
When I found Ketamine Clinics of Los Angeles, and began to research the treatment, I felt my spirits lift. I felt hope. From the moment I called their office, I knew I was in good hands. As someone who works in healthcare, I couldn't believe how kind and attentive Dr. Mandel and his entire staff were. I know they really care about me. 37 Year Old Woman, Registered Nurse
My doctor recommended that I try Ketamine at this time because he considers that there is now enough clinical information to make an informed decision about its effectiveness and side effects, and specifically recommended Dr. Mandel, who even with a glowing recommendation from someone for whom I have tremendous respect vastly exceeded all of my expectations. Keith W. 60 year old male, Lawyer
Dr. Mandel has truly made my unlivable life, livable again.
My ability to get out of bed early and or nearly right as I wake up has significantly improved. I'm able to keep up with my incredibly hectic schedule. My overall mood is high and lethargy is low. My social anxiety is at an all time low, and I haven't had a panic attack since my first infusion. A.T.
Dr Mandel you truly saved my life!
I can live my life content and know that there is always hope it doesn't have to even get that bad! I know that you have changed my life forever ! For that I thank you and my family does as well! To people that are out there wondering if this can help you! I say what do you have to lose ? Things could truly only get better! There is hope! J.P.
I saw my son once again.
Although all the medical treatment Matt has received was valuable in some way, the only time in 16 years I saw the person who is my son once again quietly emerge, was after the ketamine infusions. Mother of PTSD and depression patient
My successes have been phenomenal.
I have cut down on my Effexor to 75 Mg per day. I have eliminated lithium from my regiment and haven't needed ambien for about month now to sleep. My klonopin I've reduced to once every other day. The infusions really helped my depression and chronic pain in my neck. My depression has never been better and I am cutting down on my other medications with great success. Thank you, thank you Dr. Mandel! Allen C. 34 year old Male, Engineer
Something changed in me..
Something change in me that made me go from, "I don’t care if I live" to "I don’t want to die" and now because of these treatments, I can share my story and let people know that life is worth living. As bad as it gets and as painful as it gets, we have a choice. We have the freedom to make that choice. Tom B.
