SPRAVATO (esketamine) Treatment Center
Spravato is a prescription medication, used along with an antidepressant taken by mouth, for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) in adults. On March 5, 2019 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Spravato for the treatment of depression that has not responded adequately to two medication trials. Spravato is the first truly new kind of depression drug since Prozac hit the market in 1988. Spravato is a nasal spray that can relieve depression in hours instead of weeks. Given some of the potential side effect risks patients may only seek treatment in an approved Spravato treatment center. We are the first approved treatment center in the south bay communities. Please call to arrange a consultation to review if this treatment is right for you.

Patient Testimonials
“I have been doing Spravato treatment at the office twice a week, and I would say that it compares favorably to the much more involved ECT sessions that I once did, with less side effects (no memory loss) and much less hassle (no IV, general anesthesia). Each session is supervised, takes place at the clinic and lasts about 2-3 hours; your blood pressure is monitored throughout to make sure it does not become too elevated. Within the session, I experience some euphoria, but the point of the treatment is the cumulative effect of the sessions over time. I would say that Spravato has helped my depression and also helped my chronic pain.” —Dylan

“Dr. Sandoval and the staff at mind care services go out of their way to ensure I’m comfortable and safe during my Spravato sessions. I’m thankful for their assistance in obtaining and administering Spravato as it has greatly improved my depression. As someone who has tried several anti-depressants, this is a treatment that finally worked for me. I am able to live a productive life without struggling every moment of my day. For those who are able to and have struggled with finding a treatment, I recommend contacting this office to see if this is appropriate for you. I hope it helps you as much as it helped me.”—Stephanie
