Services
National Pain Centers was founded with the belief that all medical services, specifically pain management services, should be delivered with the highest quality standard of care available. National Pain Centers has acquired recognition and respect locally and nationally for our top-tier Interventional Spine and Pain Diagnosis and Treatment.
At National Pain Centers, we combine the highest quality of care standards with established and innovative treatments. Ever wonder what that looks like behind the scenes? Here is a glimpse. Dr. Jay Joshi was the first fellowship trained Interventional Pain Physician in America to use fat derived Stem Cells for multiple chronic, "incurable" conditions as part of the Cell Surgical Network.
Before we begin the discussion about ketamine infusions, the underlying condition that causes many of the painful conditions that are treated with ketamine infusions has to be understood. The Ketamine Infusion Center for Pain (KIC Pain) at the National Pain Centers is one of the largest and most experienced ketamine infusion centers in America.
Route of Administration (ROA) refers to the method in which a medication is introduced to the body. The intravenous (IV) infusion is the most common, the most studied, and probably the safest method of administering ketamine. Obviously, IV is the ROA for ketamine infusions. The ROA, in addition to pharmacokinetics, is incredibly important for all medications when discussing both safety and efficacy.
We see patients from all over the country routinely for ketamine infusions. Two of the initial questions we receive are "how much does it cost" and "is it covered by insurance". Some insurance companies do cover ketamine infusions and they have specific billing codes for ketamine infusions. Their reimbursement rates are typically not very high and that is probably one of the reasons why ketamine infusions are not done more frequently.

Working with this doctor to find the source of my pain has been a great experience. He really listens, doesn’t make you feel stupid. He’s empathetic and has great bedside manner. I was extremely nervous about getting procedures, which I have felt a lot of pain before in the past with other doctors. I felt zero pain during his procedures

Dr Joshi and his staff are exceptional! I've been seeing him for over 2 years and at every visit he is attentive and listens to what you are saying, which usually doesn't happen when you see specialists.
6 months after my initial visit my daughter passed away, Dr Joshi suggested ketamine infusion to help me with my depression. WOW....it really helped me.
When Dr. Joshi retires it will be a great loss for all his patients.
