Why Patients Choose NeuroSpa Citrus Park for IV Ketamine Infusions

NeuroSpa Citrus Park is the network’s Gunn Highway headquarters, and the Citrus Park team runs a long-standing infusion workflow with enough treatment capacity that scheduling rarely becomes the reason a patient delays a session. For a treatment course that depends on tight timing during induction — about six to eight infusions over two to four weeks — that schedule reliability is the difference between staying on protocol and losing momentum.

The Citrus Park office runs IV ketamine infusions in dedicated private treatment rooms, separate from the TMS and consultation areas. Each room is equipped with a reclining chair, IV pole, monitoring equipment for blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation, and adjustable lighting. Because HQ has multiple infusion rooms, the clinical team can run sessions in parallel without patients waiting in shared space.

Ketamine Therapy Treatment

The Deepest Clinical Bench on the NeuroSpa Network

Every Citrus Park IV ketamine infusion is supervised by a NeuroSpa psychiatrist, with clinicians who have been running infusion sessions at HQ since the program’s early days — useful when a protocol needs to be adjusted mid-course or when a patient has a less common question about their response to the medication.

Because IV ketamine is off-label, billing is not one-size-fits-all — some patients bill through commercial insurance with prior authorization, and others pay out of pocket. The Citrus Park admin team handles benefits verification end-to-end on site, usually in one business day, and gives you a written out-of-pocket estimate before any infusion is scheduled so you can pick the billing path that makes sense for you.

Off-Label for Psychiatric Use, With Decades of Clinical Safety Data

Off-label, but not experimental. Ketamine has been an anesthetic in widespread clinical use since 1970, with decades of safety data from operating rooms and emergency departments around the world. Its application to treatment-resistant depression and other psychiatric conditions is off-label — meaning the FDA has not granted specific approval for these psychiatric uses, even though a substantial and growing research base supports them. NeuroSpa Citrus Park is upfront about this regulatory distinction, and your psychiatrist walks through it in detail during your consultation.

Insurance coverage is variable, and cash-pay is an option. Because IV ketamine is off-label for psychiatric use, insurance coverage is less consistent than it is for Spravato or for TMS. Some Citrus Park patients bill through commercial insurance with prior authorization, others pay out of pocket, and the right path depends on your specific plan and financial situation. The Citrus Park HQ admin team handles off-label benefits verification end-to-end, usually within one business day, explains what your plan will and will not cover, and provides a written out-of-pocket estimate before any infusion is scheduled — so you can choose the billing path that makes sense for you before your first visit.

Plan for About 2 Hours Per Visit

Plan for approximately 2 hours per IV ketamine visit at the Citrus Park HQ during the induction phase. The visit breaks into four phases, and HQ’s multiple infusion rooms mean the flow usually runs on time.

Arrival and Check-in
1

Arrival and Check-in (about 15 minutes)

You pull into the free lot at 6511 Gunn Hwy and walk directly to the front desk. A staff member checks you in, takes baseline vitals — blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation — and walks you back to your assigned infusion room. Follow the pre-infusion fasting guidance from your consultation rather than a general rule you read online; the specifics may be tailored to your medications and medical history.

2

IV Placement and Pre-Infusion Review (about 10 minutes)

A nurse places the IV line, usually in the forearm or back of the hand. Your clinician reviews your psychiatric history, confirms informed consent for off-label ketamine use, and walks you through what the dissociative experience typically feels like.
Daily TMS Sessions
3

The 40-Minute Infusion

A standard IV ketamine session runs approximately 40 minutes at a target dose of about 0.5 mg/kg, the clinical research standard for treatment-resistant depression. Citrus Park patients commonly describe the experience as a detached, floating, or dreamlike quality — slow movement, altered perception of time, and a quiet shift in how thoughts connect. These experiences are expected and are how the medication works. The HQ clinical team watches your vitals continuously and checks on you at intervals without interrupting.
Recovery and Discharge
4

Recovery and Discharge (about 30 minutes)

The dissociative sensations fade over the next 15 to 30 minutes. The team rechecks your vitals, removes the IV line, offers water and a light snack, and confirms you are stable before you head back out to Gunn Highway. Most patients feel steady walking out; some prefer a few additional minutes in the recovery area before standing up.

Please Arrange a Driver for Every IV Ketamine Visit

Please arrange a driver for every IV ketamine visit, not just your first. You should not drive yourself home after any IV ketamine infusion. You should not operate a motor vehicle, heavy machinery, or anything requiring full alertness for the remainder of the day, even if you feel back to baseline within a few hours. Plan transportation for the full induction course — typically six to eight visits over two to four weeks — before you schedule your first session.

For Your Driver While They Wait

If your driver plans to wait in the area rather than make two trips, the Citrus Park Town Center is a short walk east of the office, and Gunn Highway has coffee shops, a Publix, and several casual restaurants within a few minutes of the building.

Anxiety Condition

Major Depressive Disorder with Suicidal Ideation

Off-label
The research literature points to meaningful reductions in acute suicidal thoughts on a faster timeline than traditional antidepressants.
PTSD Condition

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Serving Northwest Tampa for IV Ketamine Care

NeuroSpa Citrus Park is the closest NeuroSpa IV ketamine clinic for patients in northwest Tampa and the surrounding suburbs. If you live in Westchase, Oldsmar, Carrollwood, or Town ‘n’ Country, the Gunn Highway office is almost always your shortest drive.

The building sits along the Gunn Highway commercial corridor with easy access from the Veterans Expressway (FL-589) and Hillsborough Avenue. Most trips from Westchase or the Citrus Park Town Center area take under 15 minutes; Carrollwood and Town ‘n’ Country add only a few more. Free parking in front of the building means you do not circle a lot looking for a space on the day of an infusion.

For patients in Lutz or Land O’ Lakes, the Wesley Chapel location is usually the shorter drive via SR 54 or I-75. For patients on the east side of Hillsborough County, our Brandon location is usually the closer choice. Polk County patients should review our Lakeland location, and Pinellas County patients can check our Pinellas Park location. Because induction runs twice weekly for several weeks, picking the NeuroSpa IV ketamine clinic closest to you is usually the most practical way to stay on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions About IV Ketamine at Our Citrus Park Headquarters

How quickly can I start an IV ketamine induction course at the Citrus Park clinic?
Most Citrus Park patients move from consultation to their first infusion within one to two weeks, depending on insurance verification turnaround and your own schedule. The HQ runs multiple infusion rooms in parallel, so once your clinician approves you for IV ketamine therapy, the scheduling team can usually offer several induction start dates rather than a single take-it-or-leave-it slot.
How does Citrus Park verify off-label IV ketamine insurance coverage before my first infusion?
The HQ admin team handles off-label benefits verification end-to-end on site, typically within one business day of your consultation. That includes benefits checks, documentation from your psychiatrist, and any back-and-forth with the insurer. You get a written out-of-pocket estimate before any infusion is scheduled.
What research supports IV ketamine for treatment-resistant depression?
A substantial and growing research base supports IV ketamine for treatment-resistant depression, including randomized trials examining response rates in patients who have not responded to multiple antidepressant trials. Rather than citing specific percentages here, our Citrus Park psychiatrists walk you through the current evidence in detail during your consultation and point you to the published studies most relevant to your situation.
Can I schedule IV ketamine infusions around my work schedule at the Citrus Park clinic?
Yes, usually. Because the HQ runs multiple infusion rooms in parallel, the scheduling team can almost always find a morning, midday, or late-afternoon slot that fits your work calendar during the induction phase. Patients coming from Westchase, Oldsmar, and Carrollwood often build their twice-weekly induction schedule around commute patterns.
How does Citrus Park coordinate IV ketamine with medication management and talk therapy?
Your prescribing psychiatrist at Citrus Park can coordinate IV ketamine with your existing medication plan and any talk therapy you are receiving at the HQ. Because the whole care team works under one roof, there is no referral chain between your infusion clinician, your psychiatrist, and your therapist — dose adjustments, session cadence, and ongoing medication management happen in shared notes.
What happens in an IV ketamine consultation at Citrus Park before I commit to treatment?
Your first visit is a psychiatric evaluation, not an infusion. The Citrus Park psychiatrist reviews your treatment history, current medications, and prior responses to antidepressants, walks you through the off-label framework and the research base, answers your questions about the dissociative experience, and confirms informed consent only if IV ketamine looks like an appropriate next step.
