Treatment Overview

Rewiring the Brain for Hope

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that, when administered in precise sub-anesthetic doses via IV infusion, has been shown to produce rapid and robust antidepressant effects. It works by targeting NMDA receptors, promoting the growth of new neural connections in areas of the brain affected by depression.

Our Edison clinic provides a luxury, medically-monitored environment for Ketamine infusions. If you're also considering alternative treatments, learn more about TMS therapy for depression or Spravato.

★★★★★

I've been dealing with depression and PTSD for years and Dr. Amin's TMS Therapy has honestly saved my life. I'm someone who does not respond well to depression medication, so TMS was a godsend for me. I went from crying for no reason almost every day to feeling more stable and even optimistic. Dr. Amin is really invested in my mental health and Charlie, the TMS technician, is very helpful in making the treatments go by quickly and swiftly. I don't even want to imagine what my life would have been like without these treatments these past few years.

Amazing experience with Dr. Amin. He helped me get out of my anxiety in just 2 months. He is very responsive, follows up personally, and is always available when you need to talk. Highly recommended! I had a wonderful experience with Nurse Melissa. She genuinely cares about her patients, and it shows in how she handles them. Thank You Dr Amin.

I've been experiencing night terrors for a few years. I called Dr Amin immediately and he called me back right away. He told me he could help me. He came up with a medical plan with his diagnosis and that's what we're doing now. Dr. Amin is not aggressive and started very cautious with treatment because of my family history. Dr. Amin calls me to follow up on how I'm feeling. I highly recommend his practice. They answer in a timely manner. Everyone is very nice.

Dr. Amin saved me from my horrible OCD. Thank god for him. I originally went to him for a second opinion. I decided to take a leap of faith and start TMS after I had a bad OCD episode. It was rough in the beginning when I first started TMS but I persevered my way through and I'm so glad I did. I'm just about half way through and I see so many benefits already. I have my life back. I feel such relief — I can rationalize my thoughts and emotions so much better now. Overall I'm a better person. Thank you x1000 Dr. Amin!!!

★★★★★

Before becoming a patient of Dr. Amin, I was experiencing persistent cognitive fog, chronic depression, and generalized anxiety that significantly impacted my ability to function day to day. Since implementing Dr. Amin's comprehensive recommendations, my cognitive clarity has returned, my mood has stabilized, and I now have the energy and confidence to manage daily tasks and engage in social environments without fear. Dr. Amin's thoughtful and integrative approach to treatment has been transformative. His attention to detail and commitment to addressing root causes — rather than just symptoms — has helped me reclaim both my functionality and quality of life. I am truly grateful for the care I've received.

I have been a patient with NJ Healthy Minds for the past couple of years, and choosing them has been one of the best decisions I've made for myself. Everyone I've encountered has been kind, compassionate, supportive, and consistent. The passion and care they show truly reflect their purpose and the positive impact they make in people's lives every day. I am not the same person I was when I first came to them. Their support has made a tremendous difference in my life, and for that I am deeply grateful. Dr Amin & staff, you rock.

Dr Amin is a very caring doctor. He helped me regain my peace via TMS therapy. He took whatever time was required to explain in detail what to expect. Unlike most in his field, he returns calls with urgency. I love having him as my doctor.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to some of the most common questions our patients ask about this treatment.

Is Ketamine therapy safe?

Yes. When administered in a controlled clinical setting by trained medical professionals, sub-anesthetic Ketamine is very safe. We monitor your vitals throughout the entire process.

What does the infusion feel like?

Most patients describe a pleasant state of deep relaxation or a light "floating" sensation. Some experience mild colorful visuals or a shift in perspective, which usually fades quickly after the infusion ends.

How many infusions do I need?

The standard protocol is a series of 6 infusions over 2 to 3 weeks. After the initial series, many patients maintain their progress with monthly "booster" infusions.

Does insurance cover Ketamine infusions?

Currently, IV Ketamine is often considered off-label and may not be covered by all insurance plans. However, we provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement and offer financing options.

How is Ketamine therapy different from standard antidepressants?

While traditional antidepressants (SSRIs) take weeks to build up in your system, Ketamine works immediately on the glutamate system, rapidly generating new neural connections and often lifting depression within hours.

Can Ketamine cure my suicidal thoughts?

Ketamine is renowned for its unique, rapid anti-suicidal properties. Many patients report a complete cessation of suicidal ideation within 24 hours of their first infusion.

Are the effects of Ketamine permanent?

The rapid relief is profound but usually temporary without maintenance. Ketamine creates a window of neuroplasticity; engaging in therapy and maintaining booster infusions helps sustain the positive changes.
