Finding Hope and Healing
Discover evidence-based ketamine therapy delivered with compassion and personalized care. We are dedicated to helping patients find hope and lasting relief.
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that has been used for decades in medical settings for anesthesia and pain management. It’s also gaining recognition for its off-label use in treating certain mental health conditions, particularly treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), and chronic pain syndromes.
Ketamine primarily blocks NMDA receptors in the brain, which are involved in the regulation of synaptic plasticity and learning. This action is thought to contribute to its antidepressant and analgesic effects.

Living with a chronic pain condition, CRPS, has been mentally and physically debilitating. The mental health protocol and pain protocol performed by Dr. Deroee at Bluvera has helped me the most out of any of my previous medical treatments (mental and physical). I regained my sense of hope and purpose—as well as autonomy. I am forever grateful for the team there and plan to go back in the future to continue my mental health and physical recovery. The facility is so comforting and patient-centered. They customize every experience to your preference; the rooms are peaceful and relaxing. Thank you so much, you have changed my life more than I could imagine.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All I can say is life changing. Severe depression, anxiety and back pain. I mentally feel great now. Pain has reduced by about 30%. Thank you Dr Deroee.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Dr. Deroee after trying EVERYTHING for chronic anxiety and panic disorder. My life was so small. I was reduced to not leaving my couch, lost 15-20 pounds in two weeks, and could not leave the house for a month. The anxiety was so chronic and would come and go. Every time it did, it took everything from me like a rapacious creditor. Blūvera clinic and Dr. Deroee saved my life. I was hesitant and scared to even have hope. I had a profound spiritual experience during the treatment and afterward. I did extensive research and found ketamine IV therapy had amazing results and was clinically studied for decades. Dr. Deroee and his staff are the real deal. They are licensed, knowledgeable, and extremely professional. I had intense anxiety and at no point did I doubt or feel uncomfortable. They were reassuring and made me feel safety and hope. After six treatments I have my life back. I can feel feelings again that were eroded from PTSD. Everything for me has changed. It’s like my brain has been able to disassemble and reassemble, fixing small components that were misfiring. This. Will. Change. Your. Life. Sincerely, CameronPosted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dear Future Patient, I am a longtime patient of Dr. Deroee. I would like to share my experience with Bluvera. First, I believe a brief description of the medical and psychological issues that I have been dealing with would be helpful. For you to relate to me and understand my experiences, before and after Bluvera’s Ketamine Infusion Treatments, you must first understand why I am being treated by Dr. Deroee. On June 22, 2006, I was repairing a forklift tire for my employer. I had no idea how dangerous this process was. Important safety equipment was needed to do the tire change safely. I didn’t have access to the required tools and safety equipment on that Saturday, and the tire needed to be changed on the forklift in order for me to unload a large shipment that was waiting to be unloaded. During the process of changing the tire, there was an explosion and I stopped breathing. I was very fortunate to have a caring co-worker close by that was able to resuscitate me before the paramedics arrived to take me to the hospital. Since then I have gone through 19 surgeries, years of therapy, and various treatments for pain management, but I will never be the same. The Ketamine Infusion treatments has been the most productive and healing treatments I have had since my injury in 2006. I am most grateful that Dr. Deroee has chosen me to be one of his patients for these positive and healing treatments. Due to the severe pain I have experienced since the injury, I have needed pain medications to treat my various spinal injuries and headaches as well as PTSD, anxiety, and depression. The pain medications were an important part of my recovery and were very important to the quality of my life. Even though I have been prescribed multiple medications over the years that have helped, they often masked the symptoms that I was experiencing making my brain and thought processes, including memory, under-treated. Recently, Dr. Deroee added the additional Bluvera Ketamine Infusion Therapy to my treatment. Like I said before, the Infusion Therapy has changed the quality of my life, but not by masking my spinal and brain injury symptoms, but by treating my spine and brain. I researched this treatment before deciding to follow through with it. This was one of the best decisions I have made. I have noticed a change in my mood, in my depression, and best of all, in my PTSD symptoms. There have been medications over the years that have helped me with my physiological and psychological symptoms, but none of them actually worked on repairing my brain until the Ketamine Infusion treatments. These treatments have used the psychedelic properties of Ketamine to create new neural pathways in the brain to work around the damaged areas. I am happy to report that Dr. Deroee has been and continues to be one of the best doctors I have had over the last 19 years of surgeries and therapies for chronic pain, depression, and PTSD symptoms. Dr. Deroee and his nurse work so well together providing a clean, comfortable, peaceful, and overall pleasant experience at the Bluvera Clinic. It has been a few weeks since my 8th Bluvera treatment, and Dr. Deroee has been following up with me to see how I am doing. He really makes me feel that my health and quality of life is important to him. I would recommend Ketamine Infusion treatments for anyone who is struggling with pain, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. My quality of life has improved since I have had these Bluvera treatments. Thank you Dr. Deroee.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Life-Changing Miracle: Pain-Free from CRPS and Out of My Wheelchair I am immensely grateful for the profound relief and new life the Ketamine infusions have given me. I am currently pain-free and walking again. I completed Ketamine infusion therapy for debilitating pain caused by unsuccessful low back surgery. I was diagnosed with Failed Back Syndrome, CRPS, and a long list of other complications. The worst part was that for over a year, I was confined to a bed and a wheelchair. The results I experienced after just one week of Ketamine infusions at Blūvera Clinic were nothing short of a life-changing miracle. The Incredible Transformation Pain Relief: Within the first session, my daily pain levels dropped dramatically from 10 to 6-7. The improvement continued with each infusion. The excruciating, chronic pain in my back and leg eased steadily and I noticed the changes in temperature and swelling too. By the end of the 5th infusion, I was completely pain-free. Mobility Restored: The most profound shift was the restoration of my ability to stand and walk. I finally got back on my feet and left my wheelchair behind. The overwhelming miracle is the regained movement. I cannot express enough gratitude for the fact that I am walking again! Mental Clarity: My energy and optimism have returned, and I feel like a brand-new person, fully present and eager to experience life again. It truly feels as though I have been granted a second life. Expertise and Ongoing Commitment Dr. Deroee's expertise in pain management and anesthesiology gave me complete confidence. Utilizing his professional judgment and factoring in my body mass, he developed a highly individualized treatment plan, carefully titrating the dosage upward to reach the high therapeutic levels required for my intractable CRPS. His commitment extends beyond the clinic. He developed a multi-faceted recovery plan for me, which included a referral to 18 CRPS-specific physical therapy sessions—I am now working toward my goal of resuming running and playing sports. Furthermore, his care extends beyond the clinic: he continues to follow up with me via phone calls, texts, and emails, even three weeks post-infusions, demonstrating a truly ongoing commitment. This level of genuine physician involvement is virtually unheard of in modern medicine nowadays and clearly demonstrates his dedication to patient success. Team Trust and Results Dr. Deroee’s assistant, Melissa, is an absolute gem. She is genuinely kind, supportive, and knowledgeable, reflecting the exact same high level of dedication and empathy as Dr. Deroee. The confidence they inspired in me allowed me to trust their guidance completely. The ultimate reward is that I am pain free and walking again! The Reality of Recovery It’s been only three weeks, and the uncertainty of CRPS remains. My resolve was severely tested on the third night after my last infusion. I woke to a pain flare—it was 6 on a scale from 0 to 10, but the panic was instant. Fearing the therapeutic effects of Ketamine had already ended, I immediately took my pain medications and, thank God, woke up the next morning with no pain again. To stay pain-free, I still require a regimen of medications, including oral Ketamine. But the fact that I am staying pain-free, am no longer wheelchair bound, am able to walk, have finally started sleeping at night, and am no longer fainting makes this experience already worth calling a miracle and a blessing. Final Conclusion If you are exhausted living with CRPS or other chronic, debilitating pain, feel desperate and hopeless, please don't give up. I only regret not trying it sooner as other physicians had recommended. This treatment was the answer and has given me back a quality of life I honestly thought I had lost forever. I cannot thank Dr. Deroee and Melissa enough for the profound healing. You are the best in the world! Thank you so much!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Words cannot express how thankful I am for Dr. Armin and Melissa while I was searching for relief from my difficult mental spirals. Two facilities had already dropped the ball when it came to following up, but once I requested information, Dr. Armin got in touch with me directly. He was in my corner the whole time, championing for me and making sure I got what I needed. The facility is inviting, the rooms perfect for creating a safe space, and the treatment itself easy and effective. In three weeks of treatments, I feel that I'm a completely different person. My anxiety has eased, and I have a way to de-escalate when things start to ramp up. As someone who has basically an entire life of trauma, if you feel like nothing else has helped, please get in touch. They will do everything to try and help you. Not for money, like other places, but for the fact that you deserve to feel better.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Life changing treatment! I had this treatment 1st at the Stanford Pain Clinic. That was it, clinical. Very hospital, bright, invasive, definitely not private. It did not help because of how and when administered so I was a little nervous about treatment at first but Dr. Deroee is the best! There are not many doctors that listen to their patients. Most want to throw meds at you and send you on your way. Deroee is empathetic, compassionate, and truly takes notice of your issue. He treats the whole person. This clinic is welcoming, warm and friendly. Melissa is helpful in getting you settled in your own comfy room, recliner. They have nice tonal music playing to add to a relaxing, healing environment. You can be alone or with your person that drove you if you'd like. Dr. is there to go over any questions, concerns or cares. When YOU are ready to start your healing journey Deroee and Melissa will hook your IV and Dr. will start the meds. You have a button if you need them and they check on you through your treatment. You will discuss with doctor how it went. My suggestions, bring a blanket, crackers and water for ride home.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Transformative Care in a Truly Healing Environment I began ketamine infusion therapy at Blūvera Clinic for fibromyalgia and the results have been nothing short of life-changing. Within just four sessions, my daily pain dropped from a 8 to a 2. Brain fog lifted almost immediately. Morning and evening stiffness disappeared. Chronic pain in my chest, back, hips, jaw, and neck eased dramatically. Even my digestion and blood sugar regulation improved. My energy returned, and my flexibility and mobility noticeably increased. Mentally and emotionally, I feel clearer, calmer, and more resilient. I no longer spiral when stress arises. Instead of emotional overwhelm or physical tension, I can move through life with more balance and confidence. Anxiety? It’s nearly gone. On top of the incredible results, the experience itself is deeply nurturing. The Blūvera facility is beautiful, clean, serene, and designed with patient comfort in mind. Every detail, from the peaceful lighting to the comfortable recliners and complimentary eye mask and noise cancelling headphones, makes you feel safe and relaxed, not to mentioned unburdened of needing to bring your own materials. (I brought my own blanket for comfort, however). Dr. Deroee is kind, knowledgeable, and truly listens. His approach is holistic and caring, and the entire team reflects that same warmth and professionalism. I did not feel pressured to increase dosages and followed the guidance of Dr. Deroee. He is fully trained and licensed for this work and it shows in his precaution and awareness that this powerful medicine works best when you are actively involved in your own emotional healing as well. If you’re struggling with fibromyalgia or chronic pain and feel like you’ve exhausted your options, please consider ketamine therapy at Blūvera. This clinic gave me back a quality of life I thought I had lost. Without a doubt, the plan Dr. Deroee designed for me and any future patients will be life changing. Thank you, Dr. Deroee and team, for the care, the comfort, and the healing. 💙
