Conditions like depression and chronic pain can be soul-crushing. After 50 years of administration as one of the safest anesthetics, ketamine has emerged as one of the major treatment options for patients suffering from depression, PTSD, a variety of pain conditions, as well as opioid dependence. Tennessee Ketamine & Wellness Center provides hope to patients in Nashville, TN area as well as many states across the country who have not responded to other treatments for these conditions. Ketamine treatment can be life-changing.

TENNESSEE KETAMINE TEAM

Our medical doctors provide ketamine infusions with safety and patient comfort as our top priority.

Every patient undergoes a comprehensive evaluation by an anesthesiologist, who closely oversees their individual care. Our team has significant experience developing highly effective ketamine infusion protocols while minimizing side effects.

Our staff provides support and comfort to patients. We fully explain each procedure so patients know what to expect. Treatment is constantly monitored by a nurse to ensure safety, and an anesthesiologist is always on-site and immediately available.

Dr. Malchow served as an anesthesiologist for 25 years in the armed forces before retiring as a colonel in 2008. He then became an associate professor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, where he was the first Vanderbilt physician to offer intensive ketamine infusion therapy in 2014. In 2015, he established one of the few ketamine infusion centers (KIC) in the Veteran Health Administration and the only KIC in the U.S. specifically targeting opioid cessation/reduction.

He is an acknowledged U.S. expert on ketamine administration, having presented his extensive experience with ketamine in the veteran population at the American Society of Ketamine Physicians in 2018 and has given multiple lectures regarding the use of ketamine to national audiences in 2021. Dr. Malchow has published over 20 peer-reviewed journal articles and serves regularly on worldwide medical missions supporting those in need.

Dr. Malchow is honored to serve as the Medical Director for the Tennessee Ketamine & Wellness Center to provide compassionate and competent care for those suffering from depression, PTSD, OCD, chronic pain, and opioid dependence.
