Oasis Wellness & Recovery

I’m so thankful to Dr. Milbrandt for opening a much needed Ketamine infusion Clinic in North Central Florida. I used to have to travel to Atlanta costing me quite a bit of money in lodging, travel and treatment expenses. Not only is its proximity a plus, but also, the treatment’s affordability, his super friendly staff, and level of professionalism and care. I also appreciate his follow ups and willingness to answer any questions. He is highly recommended.

You will find HOPE here! Loving, caring staff and Dr. Milbrandt’s knowledge and expertise combined with his personable care are superb! My life is evermore changed by this Christian group of caring professionals!

If suffering, please read!! I am not sure how to capture my experience and share it in a comprehensible and relatable way but I’m compelled to try. If this reaches just one person suffering, then it is worth sharing. All I know is that depression (& related anhedonia) has stolen my life since I was a young girl. I am 44 years old now and have had decades of treatment after treatment without relief. Honestly, I had given up. My only motivation to even try IV ketamine infusion was a last-ditch effort for the sake of my husband. I sincerely did not believe it would work for me even though the literature reports upwards of 75% of treatment-resistant depression patients find relief. I was assuming the same results from decades of trying countless combinations of medications and cognitive-behavioral Therapies. My doctor recommended the infusion Clinic of Ocala well over a year ago. I just got around to making my first appointment 2 weeks ago. Currently I have had four initial infusions of IV Ketamine in the past 2 weeks. 6 initial infusions are recommended over a two to three-week period. I have two more scheduled to complete this initial phase of treatment. Then I can call the clinic when I need a maintenance infusion. Again the literature states patients get maintenance infusions every 1 to 6 months. Now for the hope!! I am having such wonderful days…my mood going from a negative to a 10 …on a 1 (bad) to a 10 (great) scale. I’m not talking about moments of clarity and contentment…I’ve experienced a full 2 weeks of fresh, new perspectives and happiness. Yes, me!! I’m not a scientist and do not claim to know exactly how Ketamine in lower doses helps one climb out of the deep, dark hole of depression, but I am here to say that it certainly does! I am extremely and pleasantly surprised by its fairly immediate and lasting (so far) effects. Yes, I am concerned it is going to go away…or fade with time, but I am encouraged to stay positive and found this new, beautiful hope for life and the future! Again, I am just at the initial phase, and will reach out again as time goes on to report how I do, but felt the need to let you know its extreme, positive effects. Dr. Eric Milbrandt and staff are life-changers. They care about my recovery and it shows in their interactions with me and their other patients. From an initial information-gathering call with Connor to the infusions with Josh and Dr. Milbrant, The Infusion Clinic of Ocala has revived my hope that I do not have to live everyday with crippling depression. At first I was skeptical to the nth degree, but now I want to spread the word that there actually is HOPE! I cannot express my gratitude fully…there are no words. Thank you Dr. Milbrandt and staff for giving me my life back!!

The doctor and staff are caring and compassionate. I have had several treatments and I really feel confident in saying they are making me better. I have struggled for decades trying different medications and therapies, but since coming here, I now have hope and feel like I can live a better life.

I cannot stress enough how amazing the doctor here is. Dr. Milbrandt is the first doctor I have met in my entire life who genuinely cares not only about me, but all his patients. He is the only doctor I have ever been able to open up to and be honest with. He treats you as if you were a family member or friend, not just another patient. Even when I’m not there, he is available to contact and there have even been times he has contacted me just to make sure I am doing okay. The first time I met him I was in a horrible place and may not have come off as the friendliest person, but he still treated me as if I was. It is an absolute blessing to have him and his clinic here. For anybody considering ketamine infusions, this is the best place you could go for them. I have never felt scared or unsafe. I have 100% confidence and trust in ALL of the staff to do the infusions safely and effectively. Connor is an amazing front desk employee who seems to do a beautiful job and is the friendliest face to see when you first walk in. Another notable mention is one of the newer IV therapists, Josh. My last few infusions have been with him and I can tell he knows exactly what he is doing and he is very pleasant and great to have a conversation with. All of the staff is great, not just the ones I have mentioned by name. Ketamine has changed my life forever. I no longer experience chronic dark thoughts and for the first time ever I am able to both feel and control a full spectrum of emotions healthily. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Milbrandt and all his staff.
