Welcome to the Central Coast Surgery Center, home to renowned anesthesiologist, Dr. Thomas Leverone, located in the peaceful Freedom, California. At our center, we cater to individuals struggling with chronic mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, and complex regional pain syndrome by offering innovative and effective ketamine infusion therapy. Under the expert care of Dr. Leverone, who notably led the introduction of this advanced treatment, patients are given the chance to regain hope and control over their lives and health. Leveraging his extensive experience, Dr. Leverone also acts as a mentor to other doctors aiming to start their ketamine clinics, championing the treatment's accessibility to all who need it.

On arrival at the Central Coast Surgery Center, patients are provided a comforting and safe environment suitable for the therapy. Although an intravenous (IV) line is necessary for the treatment, patients can remain comfortably dressed, and the accompaniment of a family member or friend is welcomed. The one-hour-long ketamine infusion process is typically characterized by mild dissociative sensations and subtle euphoria, with most patients able to leave the center just thirty minutes after the conclusion. Provided it aligns with the recommendation of your mental health care professional, follow-up sessions can be scheduled, and in some cases, outpatient self-administered ketamine doses or other extenders are prescribed to maintain the therapy's positive impact. Rest assured our dedicated team is committed to ensuring each patient's comfort throughout the entire process, offering optimal support and care from the induction of the process to recovery.
