Getting to know Dr. Kathryn Zhu
Dr. Zhu is a dedicated psychiatrist who provides Spravato (esketamine) therapy in a structured and supportive environment. She focuses on patient safety, clear communication, and careful monitoring during each session, working alongside our team to ensure patients feel comfortable and well-guided throughout the course of treatment.
About SPRAVATO treatment:
Tired of antidepressants that don’t work? Spravato® (esketamine nasal spray) — the only FDA-approved nasal treatment for adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and major depressive disorder with suicidal ideation — delivers rapid relief when nothing else has.
Real results, backed by science:
Up to 65% of patients see =50% symptom reduction in just weeks
Nearly 1 in 3 achieve full remission — many within days
Proven to rapidly reduce suicidal thoughts.
This is NOT IV ketamine (which we do not offer). Spravato is a precise, self-administered nasal spray used alongside your oral antidepressant, under expert medical supervision.
Your path to relief:
Weeks 1–4: Twice-weekly in-office sessions
Week 5+: Once weekly or every other week
Each visit: Quick self-administration + 2 hours of relaxed monitoring in our comfortable clinic
Patients report renewed energy, hope, and joy — often after the very first dose. Don’t wait another day trapped by depression. Spravato has transformed over 140,000 lives worldwide.
