Neurospa Citrus Park

Spravato at NeuroSpa’s Gunn Highway Headquarters

NeuroSpa Citrus Park is the network’s Gunn Highway headquarters, and it runs a long-standing Spravato program with multiple REMS-compliant monitoring rooms under one roof. For patients in northwest Tampa looking at esketamine as a next step after traditional antidepressants, the headquarters location offers the full FDA REMS protocol alongside on-site psychiatric care, TMS, and IV ketamine therapy in the same building at 6511 Gunn Highway.

The most tangible advantage at the Citrus Park clinic is physical capacity. Rather than rotating Spravato patients through a single monitoring area, our Citrus Park facility dedicates multiple private monitoring rooms to Spravato sessions. Two patients can be in the required 2-hour observation window at the same time in separate rooms, which means scheduling flexibility during induction and maintenance is typically easier than at a single-room clinic, and patients rarely wait on a specific time slot.

Spravato Treatment Device

Full REMS Compliance at Every Session

Every Spravato visit at Citrus Park follows the FDA REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy) protocol exactly. REMS is the federal program that makes Spravato treatment possible in the outpatient setting, and it governs how the medication is stored, how it is administered, and how long a patient must be observed after each dose. Our Citrus Park clinical team is trained on REMS vitals monitoring, and every session includes baseline blood pressure and heart rate checks at intake, additional checks during the observation window, and a final clearance check before you leave.

Integrated Psychiatric Care and Copay Support

At the Citrus Park location, the prescribing psychiatrist supervising your care, the administrative staff handling prior authorization, and the team coordinating combined TMS protocols are all based in the same Gunn Highway building, so cross-team coordination happens on one shared care plan rather than through referrals between clinics. Janssen, the manufacturer of Spravato, offers a copay assistance program for eligible commercial-insurance patients, and our Citrus Park admin team walks you through the application so your out-of-pocket cost is clear up front.

Plan for About 2.5 Hours Per Visit

Plan for approximately 2.5 hours per Spravato visit at the Citrus Park office. The session has four predictable phases, and knowing what to expect usually makes the day easier for both you and the driver bringing you.

Arrival and Check-in
1

Arrival and Check-in (about 10 minutes)

Your driver drops you off in the parking lot directly in front of 6511 Gunn Highway. You check in with our Citrus Park PCC at the front desk, and they confirm your driver has a way to reach you at discharge. A staff member takes your baseline vitals — blood pressure and heart rate — and walks you back to an available private monitoring room. Because headquarters has multiple rooms, you are almost never waiting on a prior patient to finish their observation window before yours can begin.

2

Self-Administration (about 5 minutes)

Inside the monitoring room, your clinician prepares the Spravato device and hands it to you. You self-administer the esketamine nasal spray under direct supervision. The dose is delivered as a series of sprays across both nostrils, spaced a few minutes apart according to the protocol your psychiatrist has ordered. Once the last spray is complete, the required 2-hour observation window officially begins.
Daily TMS Sessions
3

REMS Monitoring Period (2 hours, required)

This is the centerpiece of every Spravato visit. Federal REMS rules require that you be observed inside the clinic for a full two hours after your dose, and this window is not optional, not negotiable, and not shortened for any reason. Most Citrus Park patients spend the two hours resting in a reclining chair with soft lighting, a blanket, an optional eye mask, water on the side table, and a call button within reach of the right hand. The clinical team performs additional vitals checks during the window at set intervals. A restroom is attached to the monitoring area so you never walk back through the waiting room during a session.
Recovery and Discharge
4

Discharge (about 10 minutes)

Once the observation window ends, your clinician performs a final vitals check and confirms you are stable and clinically cleared to leave. The Citrus Park team calls your driver, you walk out the front door, and your driver picks you up in the Gunn Highway lot.

Please Arrange a Driver for Every Spravato Visit

Important: you cannot drive yourself home after a Spravato session. Federal Spravato safety guidelines require that you not drive a motor vehicle, operate machinery, or engage in activities requiring full alertness until the next day after a restful sleep. Plan ahead — bring a driver with you, arrange a rideshare for after your visit, or ask our Citrus Park team to help you coordinate transportation before you book your first appointment.

For Your Driver During the 2-Hour Observation Window

If your driver plans to wait in the area during the 2-hour observation window rather than make two trips, Citrus Park Town Center is about five minutes away on Gunn Highway, and there are several coffee shops and casual restaurants along the Veterans Expressway corridor within a short drive. Plenty of Citrus Park Spravato drivers treat the wait as protected time to catch up on errands, work from a coffee shop, or simply read.

What Spravato Treats at NeuroSpa Citrus Park

Depression Condition

Treatment-Resistant Depression

FDA-Approved
Spravato is FDA-approved for adults with major depressive disorder that has not responded to at least two different antidepressant medications tried at adequate doses and durations. Most patients starting the Spravato conversation at Citrus Park have already crossed that threshold before the evaluation.
Anxiety Condition

Major Depressive Disorder with Suicidal Ideation

FDA-Approved
Spravato is FDA-approved as an adjunct to an oral antidepressant for adults with major depressive disorder who are experiencing acute suicidal ideation or behavior.

Serving Northwest Tampa and the Veterans Expressway Corridor for Spravato Care

NeuroSpa Citrus Park is the closest Spravato-certified NeuroSpa location for patients across the northwestern half of Hillsborough County. If you live in Westchase, Oldsmar, Carrollwood, Town ‘n’ Country, or the broader Gunn Highway corridor, our headquarters is almost always the shortest drive for you and your driver.

The office sits just off Gunn Highway with direct access from the Veterans Expressway, which makes it an efficient destination for patients coming from downtown Tampa, South Tampa, or anywhere along the 589. Most trips from the Westchase and Oldsmar area take under 15 minutes; Carrollwood and Town ‘n’ Country typically add only a few more.

For Spravato patients based in the eastern half of Hillsborough County, our Brandon Location is the closer option. Patients in northern Hillsborough or Pasco County should check our Wesley Chapel Location, and patients on the Pinellas peninsula have one option across the bay at our Pinellas Park Location. Polk County patients are typically closest to our Lakeland Location.

Because every Spravato visit requires a driver and the full 2.5-hour time block, it is worth thinking through the logistics for the person bringing you. Many Citrus Park drivers wait nearby rather than making two trips: Citrus Park Town Center and the Veterans Expressway corridor both have coffee shops and casual restaurants within a short drive.

Frequently Asked Questions About Spravato at Our Citrus Park Headquarters

How quickly can I start Spravato treatment at the Citrus Park clinic?
Most Citrus Park patients move from their psychiatric evaluation to their first Spravato induction dose within one to two weeks, depending on REMS enrollment paperwork, insurance verification turnaround, and your own schedule. Because the headquarters runs multiple REMS-compliant monitoring rooms in parallel, the scheduling team can usually offer several induction start dates rather than a single take-it-or-leave-it slot, and the twice-weekly induction cadence stays intact through the first month.
How does NeuroSpa Citrus Park help me apply for Janssen’s copay assistance program?
Janssen, the manufacturer of Spravato, runs a copay assistance program for eligible commercial-insurance patients. Our Citrus Park administrative team handles the eligibility check, the application paperwork, and the coordination with your insurance carrier. We walk you through it before your first session so you know your out-of-pocket cost before committing to a schedule.
How does Citrus Park coordinate Spravato with TMS therapy if I need both?
Because headquarters offers both Spravato and TMS therapy in the same Gunn Highway building, your prescribing psychiatrist can manage both on one shared care plan without a referral between clinics. The same clinical team handles intake, scheduling, and coordination. Whether a combined protocol makes sense depends on your diagnosis, treatment history, and your psychiatrist’s clinical judgment.
Can my driver wait somewhere comfortable near the Gunn Highway clinic during my 2-hour observation window?
Yes. Citrus Park Town Center is about five minutes away with restaurants, shops, and coffee. The Veterans Expressway corridor has additional coffee shops and casual restaurants within a short drive. Several of our Citrus Park Spravato drivers treat the wait as protected time to answer email, run errands, or read somewhere quiet. Our admin team is happy to suggest options based on where your driver is coming from.
What kind of screening is required before my first Spravato session at Citrus Park?
Before your first session, you meet with a Citrus Park psychiatrist for an evaluation covering your full treatment history — which antidepressants you have tried, at what doses, and for how long — along with your current symptoms, medical history, and any medications you take. The team enrolls you in the REMS program, records baseline vitals, and confirms your driver plan. The goal is making sure Spravato is the right next step before you commit to the protocol.
What happens if I miss or need to reschedule a Spravato dose at Citrus Park?
If something comes up, call our Citrus Park admin team as early as you can. Because headquarters runs multiple monitoring rooms, the schedule typically has more open slots to rebook into than a single-room clinic would, and we can usually find a replacement appointment within the same week. Your psychiatrist reviews any missed dose against your current treatment phase to decide whether the rest of the schedule needs to shift.
