Acute Pain Therapies
The mission of our Seattle pain clinic is to help patients that are experiencing pain around the time of surgery. We extend hospital-based acute pain management services into an outpatient setting. If you are worried you will have severe pain after surgery, contact us for a consultation. If you have severe pain within the first days to weeks after surgery, we are specialized in helping you with that kind of pain.

Our Bellevue Ketamine Clinic is the longest standing ketamine infusion clinic in the Bellevue and Seattle area. We receive referrals from prominent practitioners throughout Seattle and Bellevue for our ketamine infusion services.
Services
Sedation as needed for the afore-mentioned procedures by a board-certified anesthesiologist. If surgery is needed, our providers create pain management program around the time of surgery that helps avoid long-term opioid drug dependence. The regenerative injections including stem cell and/or platelet rich plasma (PRP) we provide promote a healing process that can reduce joint, nerve, tendon, ligament, back and neck pain.
You'll see when you visit for a consultation that our clinic is designed to be a place patients and their families WANT to visit. It is a beautiful pacific northwest haven. We offer free amenities like espresso service and complimentary use of iPads in various treatment rooms, procedure waiting rooms, and recovery bays.
Dr. Zachary Fisk's research, presentations and significant clinical experience managing perioperative opioid use inspired him to specialize in effective non-opiate methods for treating severe pain common to surgical procedures. He has developed techniques while caring for patients suffering from acute surgical and traumatic pain, CRPS, and the psychological pain of depression.
Ketamine infusion therapy can help people after surgery, people with chronic pain, and people with depression. IV ketamine gives you the longest exposure at predictable doses, unlike all other forms of ketamine. If you go to a ketamine clinic, make sure it offers amenities that make you feel comfortable.
Acute surgical & traumatic pain is the pain people experience in the days to weeks following a surgical procedure or trauma. It is a direct result of the procedure or trauma. If you live in the Bellevue or Seattle areas, we can provide you with methods of pain control usually only available to patients in the hospital; they are very strong and effective.

Dr.Fisk is an absolutely amazing doctor. He goes above and beyond for his patients. I got a Stellate Ganglion Block done last month. It wore off and I felt horrible because the PTSD was back. I called the emergency line in a panic last night and Dr. Julian (I hope I spelled her name right) was extremely sweet and very accommodating and told me as soon as she could she would get right on telling Dr.Fisk (it was in the middle of the night) and true to her word Dr.Julian told Dr.Fisk as soon as she could.
I called this morning and Andrea the front desk receptionist was very patient and sweet even

I absolutely LOVE everyone here! From the Doctors to the Front Desk, they all make you feel welcome, comfortable and the doctors really listen to my needs because I’m a chronic pain and depression patient. I would recommend this pain clinic every time, hands down!!

Don't wast your time with this place. Got a tela health appt with Dr Fisk, I don't think he looked at me once. Was very put off by his cold demeanor. Told me someone would call me later that day or the next, To go over my treatment plan. I heard nothing. I called. Still nothing. Called again. Nothing. It's been 3 weeks. These people obviously are not in the business because they genuinely care.

I spent quite a bit of time trying to get an initial consult set up. Once I did Dr Fisk was quite helpful. I will follow up later.

Dr. Fisk and the team have been lifesavers. I have chronic pain and haven't needed my cane since my first infusion. The staff are caring and Dr. Fisk is a great listener and problem solver. I can't tell you how meaningful it is as someone with chronic pain to feel heard. Both locations are clean and comfortable. Lastly, as someone who has been getting care through the pandemic I feel very safe when I'm there around their cleaning and COVID procedures.

Acute pain therapies responds to many reviews, which I really appreciate, and I hope I receive a response to this one. Dr. Fisk is a great doctor who truly cares about the quality of life his patients experience. His other staff members (doctors and nurses) are incredible and provided a memorable experience with engaging conversation and great senses of humor. Unfortunately, I’m leaving this one star review entirely because of my experience with the front desk administrative practices. During one of my appointments it was decided that a CT scan was necessary to determine the origin of my pain

Stay far far FAR away from this place.

Short version: If you want to have your appointment canceled while you are laying on the gurney 20 minutes before surgery, this is the place for you.

As I had a wrist stabilization surgery, as well as torn tendon repair taking place on Thursday, I called Acute Pain Therapies Wednesday afternoon to double and triple check I was on their schedule for a nerve block/pain pump after my surgery. I confirmed my time of arrival, what surgeries I was having, what I would be receiving at Acute Pain Therapies, and then confirmed AGAIN everything was a go as, understandably

Dr. Zachary Fisk has helped me manage and identify the type of pain that I have endured through my recent surgery. Dr Fisk sets a new standard of treatment in addressing the multifaceted complexities that come with short- and long-term pain. I believe his pioneering methods in post-surgical nerve blocks and alternative pain management, bring hope when so many other techniques are not working. I also have great respect for his staff including Ajane, Leo and the amazing way they maintain constant communication and support. They raise the bar! During this time of covid where appointments have become

I’m so grateful for Dr. Julian and her wonderful team! I’ve been in chronic pain for over 12yrs now...I’ve been through so many doctors...Dr. Julian is so compassionate and always takes the time to listen to me and figure out the best plan of action for dealing with my daily health issues! Nowadays...this is so rare! It’s so nice to work with a doctor who doesn’t make me feel “less than” or unheard...life with chronic pain is hard enough!

Dr. Fisk is one of the best doctors I've ever had. He truly cares about all his patients. He takes time to explain each procedure I've had. He is always very professional. Dr. Fisk literally saved my life when he suggested ketamine infusions for my severe depression and suicidality and now Dr. Fisk and Dr. Julian have given me back my life with the A2M procedure which has taken away nine years of severe chronic migraines. I can't thank them enough.

Staff are exceptional, they make you feel very comfortable, especially the nurse. Dr. Julian is easy to talk with and very compassionate. I had a double PRP on my both hips and they made me feel confident. Unfortunately for me I have note seen the pain relief I was hoping for, but am working with Dr. Julian for further treatment.

Dr. Fisk and his staff are very kind and caring. In a stressful pain situation, they know exactly what to do, and thry all help in a compassionate manner.

The methods Dr. Fisk uses work without increasing use of opioids. The treatments encompass pain and depression and others.

Dr. Fisk listens, reviews symptoms and everything needed to make an accurate analysis. He is very gentle and careful and explains everything that is happening as it is being done.

The nurses I had (Jennifer and Oksana) were also very kind and comforting.

The front office staff Ajane and Katy are also very kind, and

Everyone, nurses & receptionists were very friendly and helpful. Shirleen was great!! 5 stars for her!! My visit with Dr. Fisk was thorough and informative and he suggested some new therapies to try "if" I decided that I wanted to in the future. I wasn't pushed or persuaded to do anything different unless I wanted to. I appreciate that as many Doctors try to persuade patients to do what they think is best. Leaving it up to me takes the pressure off. Thank You all.

I have seen so many doctors over the years and Dr. Fisk was the only one to notice specific symptoms that narrowed us down to the real issues at hand. Grateful for his thoroughness and his friendly staff

I really liked Dr Fisk. He asked a lot of questions and listened to me too. I liked it that he typed notes in his computer as we talked- it made me feel like he had a way of remembering what we talked about. Some doctors you see don't seem to remember what you talked about later.

I almost never write reviews, but Dr. Fisk and his team made a huge difference in my post-operative recovery. Get yourself scheduled for a nerve block in advance, after your surgery. I had my nerve block for a week, and words aren't enough to express my gratitude to them.
