For many people, anxiety isn’t just occasional nervousness–it’s a daily burden that affects relationships, work, and quality of life. When medications or therapy alone aren’t enough, Ketamine Infusion Therapy may offer the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.
At Urgent Care Plus & Wellness, our physician-directed ketamine therapy helps patients in Richmond, Katy, Aliana, and surrounding communities manage treatment-resistant anxiety, panic disorders, and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Each infusion is overseen by Dr. Luke Afuwape, a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician with over 15 years of experience managing high-acuity conditions–including mental health emergencies.
I am giving 5 stars because Dr Luke and his team were so professional and caring. I loved the ambience of the clinic, and there was no wait time. Dr. Luke took his time to Iisten to our complaints and concerns. Big thanks to the team at Urgent Care Plus and Wellness.
How Ketamine Helps with Anxiety
Ketamine works differently than traditional anxiety medications. Instead of altering serotonin or GABA levels, it targets the glutamate system, helping regulate brain activity and reduce the overactive thought patterns associated with anxiety.
Research and patient experience show that ketamine can:
- Quiet racing thoughts and constant worry
- Reduce panic attack frequency and intensity
- Improve sleep, focus, and emotional control
- Help break the cycle of avoidance and fear
- Enhance your response to therapy or medication
Unlike benzodiazepines or SSRIs, ketamine’s anti-anxiety effects often begin within hours or days, and without the long-term sedation or dependency risks of some medications.
What to Expect During Treatment
After a thorough consultation, Dr. Luke will design a treatment plan based on your history, current symptoms, and personal goals. Each ketamine infusion is administered in a private room, lasting about 40-60 minutes with continuous monitoring for comfort and safety.
Many patients feel calmer and more focused after just a few infusions, often with greater clarity in their thoughts and reduced emotional reactivity.
