I’ve only listened to a few episodes but they are really well done and I’m very excited to listen to more. It’s really nice to learn about alternative routes in medicine especially from people who seem to be doing things safely and intelligently
Dr. Ko has become one of the preeminent faces and voices of the ketamine movement! He is a trusted source of information, engaging, and overall nice guy.
I appreciated the intelligent and practical approach spoken from the heart. Helpful information for anyone interested in opening a ketamine treatment clinic. Well done!
A good show so far and has been affirming and inspiring to me as an LCSW adding Ketamine to my private practice. Looking forward to more episodes for such a healing practice!
This podcast is so timely! As the Ketamine awareness and accessibility grows I believe it is uber important to have solid, experienced, sound professionals with integrity speaking about it and providing well rounded education. I’ve been following them since almost the beginning of their journey and love the valuable content that Sam and Kim create. They are truly dedicated to providing the best quality with care and open hearts.
Thank you for doing this!
