StrIVeMD Wellness and Ketamine

I came to find out about Strive MD and Dr. Gaskin out of sheer desperation. After suddenly losing my husband to suicide almost a year had passed…and I still couldn’t find a will to live. I had faced my loss, my pain, was in therapy (trauma specific and also ART therapy), had continuously tried to rebuild, but the toll of the loss and living without him felt like I was trapped in quicksand without an escape. I was drowning, slowly. After weathering a horrific Thanksgiving, I knew I had to do something different ahead of Christmas. I have three kids, the need to stay is paramount. I called and spoke with his assistant and before long, heard from Dr. Gaskins directly. That made the difference for me, and I made the decision to try Ketamine Therapy. I felt a significant breakthrough in my depression after my 3rd session. I kept going and completed the 6th session of my protocol. Nothing will take your grief or pain away, those are a part of life and healing from loss will be a lifelong journey…but there is no doubt in my mind that Ketamine Therapy saved my life. Now, I do occasional sessions based on what I feel I need coupled with guidance from Dr. Gaskins. I can’t express my gratitude to Strive MD adequately, but if you are thinking of using Ketamine Therapy, I highly recommend reaching out to Dr. Gaskins, he is absolutely top notch.

From the time you walk in the door you are welcomed and made to feel cared for. Dr. Gaskin is amazing! He really takes the time to go through what to expect. He answers any and all questions that you might have. I have been to a lot of doctors and tried many protocols to no avail. The treatments that I have received are truly making life changing differences in my day to day. I am so thankful and will always recommend Dr. Gaskin! (And I don’t like doctors) Highly recommend!!

Dr. Gaskin is great at what he does. He’s kind and considerate. He’s quick to text back a response to any questions. I’ve had experience with depression. The 6 ketamine infusions over 3 weeks has really helped me gain clarity. I feel like I’m now empowered and have the motivation to work towards what would make me happy. I’m so grateful I was able to get this treatment. The infusions caused lasting, positive changes for me that medication never did.

I received the first of several ketamine infusions for treating my treatment resistant depression. Dr Gaskin was great. The next day after my first infusion was like nothing I’ve experienced before. I felt better that day than any day in my life that I can remember. The most astounding positive feeling that day was when I got out of my car to walk into Kroger grocery store and the sunlight in the clear sky felt amazing. I just stood there looking up at the sun to take it all in. Day 2 post infusion progressed me a lil better and 3rd infusion was another significant jump in wellness. I felt I achieved 95% symptom remission , enough that I stopped after the 3rd infusion instead of finishing the recommended 6. Still symptom free 3 weeks later. Amazing.

Comfortable setting, Dr. Gaskin has a great bedside manner which was actually important under the very stressful circumstances we were dealing with upon arrival for first treatment. Ketamine therapy for my 18 yr old son was hugely successful. Efficient check-ins for appointments, no waiting or wasting my time in the waiting room. I highly recommend StriveMD.
