Quest Ketamine Therapies

Mitchell is a board certified anesthesia provider, and has safely administered ketamine to over 10,000 patients in his career. He is a member of the American Society of Ketamine Physicians, Psychotherapists and Practitioners (ASKP3). He is passionate in helping improve the lives of those suffering with depression, chronic pain, PTSD, anxiety and many others. While attending anesthesia school, Mitchell became fascinated with studies where ketamine was employed, not only as an anesthetic, but as an adjunct to psychotherapies and chronic pain treatments. The results were astounding and demonstrated effectiveness when other treatments and therapies had failed, however, these therapies weren’t being offered in most regions of the world. He became intent on pursuing these treatments, training at the Ketamine Training Center, where he further specialized in ketamine therapy. Being an expert in the field of anesthesiology, Mitchell ensures patients receive these medications with the utmost standards of safety. Mitchell is excited to be able to offer these treatments in his home region of the Pacific Northwest. Mitchell completed his undergraduate studies at Washington State University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. After graduation, he began his professional career in the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit at the University of Washington, in Seattle. He went on to attend anesthesia school at the University of Scranton, in Pennsylvania, where he received a Master of Science in Nurse Anesthesiology, graduating with honors. After graduate school, he pursued his anesthesia career in a high-acuity trauma hospital in Spokane, Washington. Since then, he has specialized in anesthesia for outpatient surgery, dentistry, and ketamine therapy throughout the Pacific Northwest. When he’s not treating patients, he enjoys spending time with his wife and their teenage son and daughter. He enjoys hiking, kayaking, snowboarding, and anything else involving outdoor activities in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
