Posting this for anyone in the sub still on the fence about leaving one of the big national chains. I've been through Mindbloom, Better U, and Joyous. Switched to a small private practice a few months ago and it's a completely different experience.

A few things that stand out:

The ketamine itself is genuinely better. Superior quality. And I can use whatever pharmacy I want. Mine charges me $5 per RDT.

There's no tier structure, no being handed off between five different people, no app required. You deal with one person, do a Zoom check-in once a month, and that's it. She treats you like a person, not a customer ID.

You're paying for the ketamine and her time, $175 a month. That's the whole transaction. No apps, no upsells, no drama.

Joyous's ketamine is “proprietary,” which reads like a cover for something not carefully compounded. They also have a huge problem if you want to use your own pharmacy. The company is clearly set up to gaslight you, and their ketamine is unmistakably different from any others I’ve had. I initially chose them because they were $130 a month. I now use a different provider at $255 a month, and the ketamine is far superior, like taking a completely different drug. Leaving them was the best decision I made. Check their BBB page. It is one nightmare story after another, followed by gaslighting in every single reply.
