Learn MoreDr. 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.
