Reviews of IV Solution & Ketamine Centers of Chicago

Jaron Caldwell

There's a reason IV Solutions has so many 5 star ratings - they are the best ketamine infusion clinic in Chicago! I struggle with bipolar ii disorder. My cycles are very long (4 months of mania followed by 6 months of depression). The depression is the most debilitating with extreme brain fog, making it very hard to keep my head above water at work. I've even had to go on medical disability because of it. I heard about IV Solutions from a friend and flew all the way from San Francisco to Chicago for eight infusions over two weeks. Friends and family were skeptical but I told them this was my last straw. I couldn't continue to have six month depressions and keep a career. After the first week, I didn't feel anything and was deeply depressed and concerned that it wasn't working. I stayed in bed all week, didn't leave my hotel despite the amazing weather, and felt hopeless. But, after my fourth infusion, that weekend I finally woke up and said to myself - "wow, I feel better today." And then it was game on - I was touring the city on bike, visiting old friends, and felt such a relief from my depression. I can't recommend IV Solutions enough - the staff is amazing - so great that I even brought a giant cake for them on my last day to show my sincere gratitude for their kindness and services. The clinic is super clean and the front desk attendant is very accommodating with making appointments. One recommendation - bring your own music and headset and never use your phone during treatment. You should play music that you've never heard of - because it takes you on a journey of discovery. Dr. Bal recommended the artist Deuter - which was perfect. I recommend Deuter's album "Mirage". Close your eyes and embrace the journey. Also make sure to pee before the infusion!! I have a small bladder and even after going to the bathroom before the infusion (which by the way they have a very clean bathroom you can use), I always had to rush to the bathroom. Thank you Dr. Bal and team! I'll for sure be coming back for my boosters!

I am a changed person! This place was truly something I didn’t know I needed for fighting my depression and anxiety until I tried it. I feel renewed and have realized I no longer depend on my medicine to stabilize my mood. The staff were so diligent and caring, I felt so calm because of how well I was treated and how much they cared about my experience going well. After each appointment I had a micro verbal therapy session with the doctors and nurses to describe my feelings and give them my honest thoughts and feelings. They also scheduled me right away for my next session as recommended by the doctor. The whole process was so scary at first for me as I’ve never dealt with psychedelics, but after the first appointment I knew exactly what to expect and realized I was in extremely good hands here! Incredible and can’t wait to keep this up to take care of myself.

Without a doubt, ketamine has saved my life and continues to be an integral part of managing my depression. I have been a patient of Dr. Bal's for well over a year now and words can never express the gratitude I feel in my heart for the work of everyone at the clinic. A few years ago depression really took over my life, I was absolutely broken. The illness claimed my joy and was so debilitating that I had to leave my professional career. I was having thoughts of ending my life and my mere existence was too much to manage. I had strayed from everyone and everything I love, effectively an empty shell. SSRI meds weren't helping and I felt I had no way out. Within the first few treatments I felt incredible. I remember crying tears of joy the whole way home because I felt love and joy for myself in a way that had been completely lost. I have had upwards of 20 infusions since then and each one has been delightful and insightful. The experience of the infusion itself really asks of you to let go, to trust, and be your own witness. I have always felt safe and each session has felt different in its own way. It really is hard to explain but for me it has always been a sacred, healing and spiritual experience. For me it has been a direct link to the "one source" of energy. I have so much respect for the medicine and the compassionate professionals I've come to know and love. I am often asked how long it takes before you're "better" and I must say it is so extremely personal. Certainly I've felt better each time, however the real magic is the commitment you make to working on and loving yourself in the light of this life saving medicine. Diabetics require insulin to live, and I am happy to continue ketamine infusions as long as necessary. Much love always to Dr. Bal and the entire team for all that they do to bring awareness and momentum to mental health wellness. Without the Serenity Foundation I would have never been able to afford treatments, let alone reclaim my life in the way that I have. I am forever grateful, thank you.

I’ve been struggling with my mental illness since I was a teenager and decided to try ketamine infusion as advised by a friend and my therapist and wow where do I begin on how amazing my treatments have been going. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I am finally able to function and have the energy and desire to do things again. It’s such a comforting place, I honestly feel like I am at home in my bed because it’s so serene. Having your own room is also a huge bonus because some clinics I looked into don’t offer that same luxury and let me tell you it makes a difference because having peace and quiet to yourself makes all the difference in enhancing your treatment and what you take away from it. Cannot wait to keep coming here for the rest of my treatments this place is a gem!

Incredible experience here! It was my first time trying ketamine infusion and the staff and atmosphere of this place made the experience so comfortable and enjoyable. I was certainly nervous at first, but the doctor and nurses answered all my questions and went above and beyond to make sure my infusions went smoothly and that I was feeling good about them. The clinic is so cozy as well and the reclining chairs, weighted blankets, and individual rooms with mood lighting and soothing music was so amazing and definitely improved the experience. I have struggled with depression and anxiety almost all my life and I leave the clinic with such a clear mindset and have slowly been coming off my medicine. They also check on you during the treatment just in case and even have their own spotify playlist of relaxing music for you to play through your headphones. Truly this place goes above and beyond to ensure you have a pleasant experience and continue treatment without having any fear or nervousness anymore. I am 4 sessions in and so pleased with how far I have come and can't believe I was not doing this sooner! Also, they have you answer a questionnaire before each session so you can see how much progress you're making. Could go on and on about this place it's life changing!

Tiffany Startz

Absolutely amazing staff. I am so glad I chose this center for my infusions. I would recommend this place to everyone who is looking to get ketamine. It is 1000% worth the drive if you don't live near Chicago. Ketamine not only saved my life, but I'm actually able to live it now. Come here first.

Adrianna Matos

I cannot express how profound this experience has been for me in my journey to heal. These ketamine treatments have enabled me to have the most spiritual experience of my entire life. I came into their office a broken woman from Brooklyn, NY, and emerged a new person. Life is beautiful, and there is so much more out there than meets the eye. Dr. Nandra and Dr. Pannu treated me with such caring love and generosity. Thank you so much for saving my life. I highly suggest anyone considering their services to not hesitate. Make the trip, and open your heart, mind, and soul to this healing light. 🙏🏻

Thank you, Chicago IV Solutions & Serenity Foundation members, for the opportunity and hope given to me to have ketamine infusion therapy for Chronic Pain, C/PTSD, and Depression. I have never had quite this quick of decrease of depression symptoms before from any medical treatments, whether by medications or Electrical-Convulsive Treatments. I hope to make a donation someday so that others can have the same opportunity. I also encountered the most deeply spiritual experience I’ve ever had in my life during the infusions. Similar to previous experiences, both during meditation and within altered states of consciousness that occur within my episodes of mixed-mania with psychotic features - All very powerful realization experiences, cutting through rigid conceptualized delusion and suffering with immediate precision. I just hope I can bring the awareness and wisdom gained from my experiences into this world to help empower and reduce suffering in my own and others’ lives who experience severe mental-physical illnesses, which is my profession as a mental health advocate. May All Beings Be Free of Suffering, H VajraSky

Anthony Reporto

Dr. Nandra and his team have been here for me for a couple years now. They’ve been nothing but absolutely exceptional and you can tell they truly care about you. He knows what he is doing and I trust him so much after this. My life has changed due to this place you will not regret going there

brittanydrob

I had an amazing experience with IV Solutions. It was my first time receiving Ketamine infusions and Dr. Panu and his whole team were very kind warm and caring. Cara and Citalli were both efficient at getting me checked in and put in a room right away. Citalli always answers any emails promptly with warmth and efficiency. After just one infusion I can already see a difference and I now know that this was the right decision for me. I am so happy that I made the first step in bettering my mental health and grateful that I chose IV Solutions to be apart of it. Keep up the great work!!

Scott Wayer

My experience with Dr Nandra and his staff has been nothing short of amazing. I was diagnosed with PTSD and major depressive disorder. I had crippling depression and terrible anxiety to the point where it affected all facets of my life. So, I went on a journey to find something that would help. I had tried SSRIs, EMDR, TMS, and CBT. Having a therapist helps, but then I then found Chicago IV solutions and started the Ketamine IV protocol. After my first treatment, I had already noticed a difference as far as how bad the depression could get. After the full treatment, I felt like a different person. I continue to get semi regular boosters to help. I then went to them for a procedure called SGB. It is for people who suffer from anxiety and PTSD. It is a quick procedure that your are sedated for and they focus on the nerve bundle in your neck that causes your anxiety. Once again, nothing short of amazing. I had the treatment which took about an hour and a half of my time. I woke up the next day, no anxiety, no shakiness, no pit in my stomach. I have gotten to know the staff that work there as well as the doctors and they are patient, understanding, and you can tell they just care about helping you through this. If you are suffering, please go see them. It will change your life.

I have been coming here for 9 months for infusions and my entire life has changed. I am for the first time living without chronic pain. It's so amazing. Working with the Drs here has been awesome. I feel well taken care of and safe. The nurses and staff are also wonderful. I highly recommend them

Yan Vinarskiy

I cannot write enough good things about Chicago IV Solution. It's going to sound like an exaggeration, but this treatment and the kindness / support shown by Dr. Nandra, Dr. Pannu, Zoe, Lalli, and the whole incredible team has been life changing. I researched Ketamine treatments for a long time before deciding to give it a try and had suffered from depression and anxiety for almost a decade at that point. I was nervous and unsure of what to expect, but Dr. Nandra and Dr. Pannu both walked me through all the science and made me feel incredibly safe the entire way through. I started to feel relief almost immediately after the first dose and it was night and day after dose #3. I cannot thank this clinic enough - truly gave me my life back!

Becca Fleming

The folks here at IV solution are unique in that they WANT you to be well. While I felt like the traditional mental healthcare system had failed me, the doctors and nurses here changed my life. Not only is the ketamine treatment revolutionary, the staff are determined to make sure your needs are being met, work with you on a personal and individual level, and they have helped me seek outside resources that I also needed to get well. I feel like a completely different person after my 2 week course and several boosters. If you are wanting to try ketamine treatment (or are even just curious) IV Solution is a safe and comfortable environment and I couldn’t recommend them more!

Tiffany Blanchet

My experience with IV Solution ketamine therapy surpassed my expectations more than I could have imagined! Before going here I called around and found that the prices are in line with other clinics in the city. This clinic is a short walk from where I live and had authentic heartfelt success stories, so I went with them. I am SO glad I decided to go with getting treatment here. The first step was a phone consultation with with Dr. Nandra. I was immediately comfortable due to his subject knowledge and demeanor. Both he and the other Dr. are good vibes- knowledgeable, attentive and kind. They were very careful in monitoring my vitals, dosage, and making adjustments to dosage each session based on my feedback and their expertise. They take your individual treatment very seriously and each session you complete multiple assessments so they can track your symptoms each time. The Nurses are so friendly and very skilled at starting the IVs. The front desk staff remembered my name from day 1 and always work with my crazy schedule to find good time slots for my treatments. I always feel safe, comfortable, and welcome in their environment. And the results!? Miracle medicine. I have noticed such an improvement in my life, my outlook is lighter and brighter, and my mental health and well being are in good shape for the first time in years. My mind no longer goes to that really dark painful place. Total relief. I did the initial 6 sessions and a follow up booster 2 weeks later, now I will go monthly but will play it by ear depending on how I feel and my symptom scores. People I am close to have noticed a difference in me and have commented or asked what I did. I recommend ketamine therapy to everyone and for Chicagoans, if you want the best care, look no further.

Was part of a study. My first and only visit wasn't what I excepted. Place was nice, nurse was and the man that administered whatever I was getting was fine too. During whatever I was getting was quiet and I felt relax. But sadly I was not told when I was picked how long the treatment was nor what to except. I was told right before the drip started it would be about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Once I heard that I was concerned but thought let's see. Once it was done the man came back in removed the IV asked if I wanted water and said I could leave when I'm ready. Well I didn't feel well, not stable, little dizzy and little nausea. I sat maybe a 10 minutes and thought I must go tried that twice. I didn't like at all how I felt nor that there wasn't anyone checking on me especially when I left. Front staff was gone. To feel this way and walk the streets of Chicago made me very concerned. Got to my car still not feeling stable and sat in my car for another 30 minutes. I was so concerned how my driving would be especially since I had a 50 minute drive home. Once I got home I still didn't feel good so called the office and cancelled all my remaining appointments and even emailed the point of contact . Never got a call nor an email response. Think if I would of been told one how long the treatments are and potential feeling I might of reconsider this. Lack of communication and my well being especially leaving and driving is very concerning.

I’ve suffered with depression & anxiety my entire life, along with PTSD. Bal Nandra and the team at IV Solution & Ketamine Centers of Chicago saved my life. I’ve tried numerous medications for my mental health and none of them have even touched the surface in regards to helping me cope and function as a human being. The ketamine infusions have helped with my day-to-day depression and anxieties. It has altered my outlook on life itself. Even just stepping out of their building after the sessions I can notice a change to the world around me and how I navigate around it. I feel like I can breathe. The care and understanding that these people have is second to none. If you are struggling with mental health problems, chronic pain, etc etc… these people can more than likely help you. After 6 infusions I’m on the right tracks to getting my life back. Thank you so so much 🙏🏻 Tim

Dr. Nandra and his staff are absolute angels in my opinion. They have completely changed my life and my teenage son's life. Their kind, compassionate care coupled with their knowledge, competency and skill are unmatched. I tried a different Ketamine Center due to the convenience of it's location and got to see first hand the difference in how I felt after treatments. Dr. Nandra does not use a one size fits all titration method....he caters the dosage and treatment on an individual basis and he absolutely does not stop until he has met perfection with the treatment. My son was 15 and suicidal for years before we found Dr. Nandra. My son now has zero suicidal ideation and feels like a new person. He is enjoying his teenage years with a positive outlook and he no longer has depression. I called Dr. Nandra in desperation to help my son and he called me immediately and spent a long time on the phone with me sharing his knowledge and experience. I was nervous for my 15 year old to start Ketamine and my fears were completely gone after the phone call. I suffer from PTSD and thought there was no hope for me...until I met Dr. Nandra. I decided to try Ketamine after seeing the results my son had, and it was one of the best decisions I have made. I also had a SGB block done for the PTSD and this would not have been possible for me without Dr. Nandra. I am forever grateful. The entire staff is wonderful. Dr. Nandra's associate, Dr. Prabh is also terrific. My teenage son loves him because he chats with him about video games and sports. They all really now how to connect on a professional and personal level. The nurses are experts at starting the IV without even a pinch and the gal working at the front desk (Maribel) has the heart of an angel and always fits us in with our difficult schedules. She greets us with a smile every time, and always genuinely cares about how we are doing. From day one, we were treated amazingly by everyone at IV Solutions and if I could give them 10 stars I would. If you are considering changing your life's trajectory with Ketamine, do yourself a favor and see Dr. Nandra and his staff...he is the BEST of the BEST !!!

Kristen Combs

I’ve been going to this clinic for ketamine infusions for over a year now. I was referred by NAMI and had an initial intake with Dr. Nandra. Everything went smoothly and everyone at the clinic was very kind and supportive. Ketamine, in collaboration with my outpatient team of providers, meditation, consistent medication, and processing trauma, has allowed me to be effective, maintain stability, and to find joy. Since early adolescence my identity has always been “cutter,” “crazy,” and “addict.” I have learned that I may have these parts inside me but truly I am just Kristen. A human being. Ketamine has led me on a journey of rediscovering my soul. Of having space between my thoughts and actions, where I can choose differently and I have the ability to use effective skills. Dr. Pannu is the best doctor I have ever had. He actually listens to me and he looks me in the eyes when I talk to him. He remembers what I say and is genuinely invested in my treatment. I have struggled with male providers my whole life, as I have trauma related to men, but Dr. Pannu showed me that not all men cause harm. I am truly grateful for this clinic and the support they provide, including a Serenity Foundation to help people like me be able to afford treatment. I continue to heal and grow every day and for once in my life I feel present. I feel like I am waking up from a trance and I am able to be present with myself, in the joy and in the pain, in a way I was never able to before.

Maureen Piotrowski

IV solution is the gold standard in the ketamine treatment. I have suffered with depression off and on for the past 40 years. Covid compounded the darkness of depression like no other. I started researching ketamine and then started researching Dr. Bal. Testimonials that I watched and listened to made me cry but also gave me hope. After my first treatment I felt 50% better. After the series of treatments I was myself again. I was the person that I was always meant to be. I've been able to achieve things that I never thought I would be able to achieve. There are very few things in my life that I am as thankful for as IV solutions and particularly Dr Bal. Please try this, it will change your life.

Ryan Mains

Dr Bal & everyone at Chicago IV Solutions are amazing! The doctors & nurses all have a great bedside manner and do a wonderful job of explaining things before and after each treatment. The front desk staff are all incredibly friendly as well. My work & service related PTSD was really consuming my existence. The ketamine treatments have played a vital role in helping me regain some normalcy. It has taken that general heaviness away. It’s a very good compliment to my therapy & coping mechanisms. I can’t recommend Chicago IV Solutions enough. It has truly been a game changer for me.

James DeMarco

I’ve had 4 weekly NAD+ infusions to date and have felt great! The treatments started off a little uncomfortable for me (head pressure and chest tingling) but I’ve found that if I eat a small/ medium meal right before the infused I feel much better. As soon as the drip stops you feel back to normal, only better- and that feeling increases over the next few days. My mood and motivation have improved dramatically. Staff is excellent and always happy to answer questions. Looking forward to continuing treatment.

Patrick McInerney

I just recently completed my 10th treatment. I had the initial 6 and then 4 supplemental treatments after. All I can say is that they have changed my life. I am a very busy professional who never had "time" to take care of his own mental health. I went years with suffering and only looked for help after I started to expand my family. It was a saving grace. When I started treatments in January of 2021 my physical health was not good. I just had a heart issue and was having some issues with my colon as well. The treatment made it possible for me to get through the everyday stuff to then focus on my overall health. Dr. Nandar and his staff are unbelievably good. Dr. Nandar responded to all my questions in a very timely manner. Dr. Nandar and his staff talked me through each treatment and what I should expect. I also worked with his office to get an SGB shot in my neck to help with my PTSD symptoms. I no longer wake up in the middle of the night with my heart racing and when I feel a panic attack about to come on it is nice to know my flight/fight response won't put me into a full downward spiral. I can't recommend this treatment enough. It really has given me my quality of life back that I was missing for over 10 years. If you are on the fence about this treatment you just need to go in and get the consult. I promise you your life will change for the better. Good Luck All!

Nick Roy

Wow! Last week I had two NAD+ infusions and must say it was quite amazing. I am someone who is generally pretty high energy so I didn’t notice a huge change in my energy levels but I immediately noticed a drastic change in the way I was thinking. It’s tough to be able to describe the difference because it’s an intangible experiential difference, but things just were clearer and more concise for sure. I am also someone who is generally pretty sound and I’m pretty lucid in my dreams but I had by far the most lucid dream of my life this past week. The team at the clinic is extremely friendly and made me feel very comfortable and I cannot recommend this treatment highly enough. A+!!!

Katie Samuelson

Amazing experience that changed my life! I came to Dr. Nandra desperate from the impact that severe anxiety/PTSD was having on my life. It was debilitating. Within three weeks of my Ketamine treatment, my anxiety was gone! Now, I no longer feel that I am held back by all of the hardship that anxiety was causing in my life. I can function at my best self again, something I had not experienced in many years. I highly recommend Ketamine and Chicago IV Solutions for those that are looking for a treatment that actually works! Thank you to Dr. Nandra, Maribel, Carol, and the entire staff. They were warm, hospitable, and amazing to work with!

Maria Palmer

Absolutely life-changing. It sounds hyperbolic but it's true. Dr. Nandra and his team are incredibly caring, accommodating, and professional. I felt entirely comfortable and (to get full TMI on you) it literally felt like my depression was somehow melting away. I can't recommend this clinic enough

Cisco Rodriguez

For me, the current pandemic has become an opportunity to focus on the betterment of myself. Physical health has always been important to me. Mental health, on the other hand, while equally important, has been an up and down struggle for a majority of my life. Social anxiety, which has lead to occasional bouts of depression, has persisted for most of my life. I've learned to cope with my anxiety for the most part. Unfortunately, however, my coping mechanisms often consisted of self medication with alcohol and the occasional use of marijuana. Needless to say, self medication is not the answer and has often lead to additional obstacles, all the while with my anxiety remaining as a limiting factor in my life. Enter IV Solutions. I've just completed my initial treatment and the impact it has already had on my life is quite simply...remarkable. I hadn't before realized just how withdrawn I had become nor the negative toll my withdrawn behavior has had on my personal well-being. As I write this, it brings a tear of joy to my eye thinking about the connectedness I'm able to feel once again through my conversations with others. I no longer feel distant. And the best part, I no longer feel the need to self medicate. In fact, I've had nothing but positive feelings, a renewed sense of ambition and self confidence that has me avoiding any substance I feel might take it all away from me again. Are ketamine treatments the answer? Honestly, I really don't know just yet. It still seems much to early to proclaim anything. It certainly has been a step in the right direction for me, though. And I've had more positive results (and thus far longer lasting) in a shorter frame of time than I've had in the past with other SSRI and anti-anxiety medications. The goal is obviously long-term, lasting effects rather than a dependence or crutch, so to speak. To conclude, I cannot begin to express my gratitude to the kind, warm, and patient staff of IV Solutions. Everyone has been so genuinely caring and have always expressed the utmost concern for my comfort during each visit. The interactions with the staff alone are enough to leave anyone feeling like they've been blessed with their own personal ray of sunshine.

Lisa Vitacco

My experience with IV Solutions in Chicago was nothing but exceptional. I thought I would be walking into a hospital like clinic but it was not like that at all. The environment is more spa like. My first contact was with Maribel who not only greeted me but patiently answered any of my questions. I was more thrilled to have been taken in on time and my appointments have all ran smooth. Next the Dr. Assistant and Nurses were very kind accommodating and reassuring. Dr. Nandra also ran a tight schedual and still the wait time was low but he's such a fantastic doctor worth the wait. Ketamine was the best desison I've made. IV Solutions in Chicago was the best choice. Lisa

I got a NAD+ infusion here 2 weeks ago and immediately felt its benefits. My mood, concentration and energy was boosted. It’s almost as if all my senses were heightened. After the initial infusion I went to the gym and had unlimited energy. It definitely boosted my endurance. To top it all off, Dr. Nandra and the staff are extremely amazing and are at your service whenever you need them. I will definitely be going back to receive more NAD+ infusions. Highly recommend!!

Crystal Matelski

Very nice staff. They were attentive and I'm so grateful to be able to get this treatment.

Brian Shehan

Took amazing care of me. I was in the middle of a real meltdown and they got me in immediately. Everyone on staff was compassionate and friendly. Dr. Lopez is an angel of mercy. They may have saved my life.

Alex S

My mother heard about this on the radio and convinced me to go, it’s been a year now and I can’t even recognize myself anymore. The person I was a year ago had tried medications upon medications, been in therapy and in and out of hospitals since I was 12, I had PTSD, Anxiety, Borderline Personality Disorder and Major Depression and was struggling with recovering from an eating disorder and nothing seemed to be getting better. I was suicidal and now I can’t even remember that feeling. I want everyone to be able to try this, I don’t have side effects I just feel healthy, finally after so long I feel normal I feel mentally strong enough to recover from anything.

Laura Oilschlager

Two years ago I first heard about Dr. Bal Nandra and the IV Solution/Ketamine Center. My 30 year old son has battled suicidal ideology, depression, anxiety, OCD and PTSD since he was a teenager. Recent personal struggles resulted in him feeling like he was really done living. Two weeks ago, in a panic to save my son's life, I contacted IV Solution. Dr. Nandra personally responded within an hour. Today is his 6th treatment. I haven't seen my son so full of light in more than a decade. I have hope for the first time in many, many years. Financially, I knew we weren't able to meet the Center's costs. But, Dr. Nandra and Maribel, the Patient Coordinator, stepped up to help me with my son immediately. Within 24 hours, he had his first treatment. Life changing! And, my son felt comfortable and truly cared for at every level of care. There are no words big enough or meaningful enough to convey my level of gratitude. Dr. Nandra and his staff have changed my life in providing the treatment my son needs to believe life is worth living!

Finding IV Solution for this military veteran was the opportunity to find purpose in life again after so many unsuccessful attempts to find a solution to PTSD, major depression and anxiety. My journey for this quest had been a long and unsuccessful history of USG and private sector treatments and medications that spanned more than a decade. Some very good professionals tried but, unfortunately, to no avail for me. None seemed to work from anti-depressants, the full spectrum of psychiatric treatment modalities, to TMS, CES, acupuncture, etc. I tried them all without any appreciable success and some times they made the problems worse. I read about Ketamine therapy for depression and researched it thoroughly but was reluctant about being disappointed, again. Finally, I selected IV Solutions in Chicago.This was a very fateful decision. Towards the end of the initial beginning 2 week protocol of infusions, I felt a significant change that opened the door for finally finding something to relieve my problems. Dr. Nandra and his team of physicians, nurses, and reception staff have been simply miraculous. Their caring, patience, personal, and professional attributes make this center a place for hope and happiness for those of us who have suffered emotional difficulty in our military careers. Obviously, we are all different and we respond differently to treatment. I began treatment in late 2018 and receive occasional booster treatments. I have referred others, like me for this treatment at IV Solution and they have been thankful. My personal thanks to the Medical Director Dr. Nandra, Dr. Pannu, Shannon, and of course to Maribel who always greets with a smile and facilitates everything in such a wonderful manner. IV Solutions is very veteran friendly and helps in so many ways to make this treatment work. Thank You!

I was struggling with so much chronic pain before coming to Dr. Nandra. Damage from a brain injury and the subsequent treatment for it left my occipital nerve (that runs up the back of my neck on the right side) in constant agony... I couldn’t even lay down to sleep like a normal human being because of the pain. It got to the point where I was in so much pain, I didn’t want to be alive anymore. The last nice Fall day (weather wise at least) of 2020, I sat at Pratt Beach, in the park, watching the leaves and enjoying the breeze on my face, feeling like an old dog who has gone off alone to die. Except I didn’t die. The pain just kept right on going (and I could see no other way to make it stop). I couldn’t understand why I’d been left alive like this, it didn’t make sense to still be alive if I was only going to feel pain. But then I was referred to Dr. Nandra. When I got the referral, I didn’t want it... the idea of ketamine therapy sounded strange. All I’d ever heard was that kids at raves took it (not really the sort of thing for me). I even told my nurse case manager I didn’t want it and I wasn’t going. But then my inner nerd got curious, and I looked up some research on it... it had been used as a safe anesthesia for a long time, it was great at helping treatment-resistant depression, it had really robust and promising results at treating chronic pain, including CRPS (chronic regional pain syndrome), which wasn’t what I had, but sounded similar in terms of unreasonable amounts of pain, with an outlook equally bleak and devastating. It was even effective against suicidal ideation! So I went to the appointment. When I finally got it out and shared that I felt like the pain was so bad I no longer wanted to live, Dr. Nandra was extraordinarily kind, and explained that my suicidal ideation was yet another way for my brain and body to express the pain it was in. He was also incredibly reassuring and confident that I could be helped. The initial treatment and the follow up interval is different for everyone. For me, I had 5 infusions in 7 days, a boost a couple weeks later, and now I only go in once every five weeks (and am hopeful my interval will grow in time, and that one day I won’t even need it anymore!). The infusions themselves are a little strange (the medicine makes me feel a bit disconnected) but interesting and helpful to my mental state, and personally it takes me a day or two to recover (chronic pain requires bigger infusions than depression alone). But the RESULTS !!! It took some time for my pain to go almost fully away (apparently it’s much faster for depression and less severe chronic pain), but that made sense to me, as my pain was so bad it was causing me to wish for death. I’m so grateful to Dr. Nandra and his associates and staff, they honestly gave me back my life, a life I thought was over. Words cannot properly express my gratitude, there aren’t enough thank yous to thank you, but thank you, thank you, thank you anyway. Without you, I didn’t want to live; and with your help I’m now able to function, and even more, enjoy (!) my life.

I just started NAD+ treatments and I haven’t felt this good since my early twenties!!! My energy levels are at an all time high, I am more focused and it has helped significantly reduce numerous cravings. In conjunction with moderate exercise, I have also lost 10lbs in the last 2.5 weeks! Dr. Bal and the rest of the staff are phenomenal. They are consumate professionals and extremely attentive during each session making sure I am comfortable as possible. NAD+ has been a game changer for me and I highly recommend the treatment.

Justin Virk

I’ve had 2 NAD+ infusions now, and it’s one of the best choices I’ve made. Immediately after the first one my mind felt so clear, my energy and mood improved significantly, and I felt so refreshed every day. I’m so thankful to Dr Nandra and the team for doing such a great job of taking care of me and making me feel comfortable. I highly recommend that everyone do NAD+ infusions, as they have been life-changing for me!

It’s been a pleasure working with Dr. Nandra and his team over the past several weeks. As an entrepreneur, I’m under constant pressure and stress which can lead to poor mental health. Cognitive agility and endurance are key qualities in maintaining my performance edge. I have been researching NAD+ for several years and considered taking OTC (over the counter) supplements but when I discovered the cutting edge NAD+ infusion treatments offered by Dr. Nandra, I knew I would be an early adopter. After several weeks of treatments, I can say without hesitation that the infusions have boosted by mental acuity, sharpened my focus, and increased my overall energy levels. I would recommend Dr. Nandra and his team to anyone that wants to make a commitment to better mental health and mental performance. In a competitive world where every edge matters, Dr. Nandra and his NAD+ infusion treatments can be the difference.

The first impression you will get from IV solutions is from Maribel. Whether you call or email. Maribel is THE most patient and genuine woman i have met! When I called I was of course shy and at my rock bottom, so I felt more self conscious and ashamed of myself than I ever have. When Maribel called me her voice was so inviting and I felt safe sharing the intimate details of myself with her. There was no judgement. When I finally met her in person for my first treatment she could see my uneasiness and took me through the process and used such gentle and kind language. I felt as if she was more like an old friend I could rely on instead of just being medical personnel. She was so open and so real. Maribel treats all the patients with dignity and offers a friendship. She is a WONDERFUL voice and face to represent the safety, the respect and healing that IV solutions offers ! A lifetime of failed medicines and multiple therapies, I knew what a toxin I had become to those who were so unfortunate to love me. I meant it when I looked at my husband and said, "I dont want to live anymore." I was a walking, empty shell of a carcass that responded to stimuli as was expected of me. But I wasn't a "real" person. I accepted that I WAS all of my diagnoses. I knew my loved ones were always afraid and it was my fault. Self loathing reached a dangerous new low...Then, while driving to work I heard a commercial for IV Solutions. I literally had to pull over from crying that there might yet be some hope. Something I haven't tried yet..? Something ELSE EXISTS? I emailed Dr. Naandra a long detailed explanation of all I tried and have been diagnosed with. I assumed my email would be read by a medical screener so I plead my case. To my absolute shock it was the Dr. HIMSELF who responded, and that comforted me, a GREAT deal. The Dr. Would actually be involved directly! He expressed his sympathy for what I had been through and said that yes, he could help me. I came in to start the sessions. Every single member of his team made me feel safe and welcomed and didnt just treat me like another numbered patient. As soon as I had walked in I was already feeling more like a person becuase I was surrounded by medical professionals who UNDERSTOOD me and didnt blame ME for what I felt. I had talk therapy sessions with psychiatrists and psychologists that spent years with me that never made me feel this level of comfort. Then, after just the first session I became more aware of everything. My anxiety became noticable before I had an attack or outburst. Intrusive thoughts and OCD slowed. My mind stopped racing and the little things that sent me over the edge on a daily basis became almost comical instead of angering. After completing the 6 treatments I have my life, I am a person! I am happy! I am functioning, I like things again ! Food even tastes better. I WANT to LIVE! That darkness, that terrible cycle of convincing myself to get up, to go to work, come home and just go to bed to do it again, that hopelessness is gone! Instead of going through the motions of a life, I have A LIFE that I am living. I cant put into clear words what Dr. Naandra and his team have done. Its science, its medicines, its brain chemicals its Dr/patient interaction, its safety, its comfort. IV Solutions is the first and last stop for treatment. This is true healing. It's not a bandage, it's a SOLUTION!

Very caring and patient staff, they made me feel very welcomed and calm. Tidy and clean facility that makes me feel comfortable being there during COVID. I’ve had a wonderful experience with every staff person I have met. If you are thinking about checking this place out, I definitely recommend calling in for a consult. Great work Chicago IV Solution!

Connor

I was at the lowest of the low with no hope, etc. I firmly believe this has helped me with stretch resistance, which is how one bounces back after something, say, angers someone. While I’m still struggling it’s only because I’m still in treatment. I recommend this to anyone who doesn’t have any hope. Also, the doctors and staff are great there. I, too, came from Colorado. After reading the other review, I didn’t know it was cheaper. With this said: I believe once I feel back to my old self there is no price one could pay for this as it’s priceless! Thanks doctors for continuing to help me and believing in my process.

Sydney Floyd

Dr. Nandra and Maribel are amazing. The staff is professional and super accommodating. Maribel always greets me with a smile on her face and makes me feel welcome; she really helps create a great experience! Ketamine helped change my life for the better and I can’t thank them enough for all the help that I have received.

After having NAD+ infusions at IV Solution / Ketamine Centers Of Chicago, I've noticed heightened concentration, focus and vast improvement in my sleep. What's more prodigious is I have had an overall dramatic increase in my mentality and vitality. Dr. Nandra and his entire team are very professional, knowledgeable, accommodating and make you feel comfortable in every aspect, all in a modern facility.

Ms. Maribel Simental the Patient Coordinator is amazing! When we came to visit and get information about IV Solution she was very helpful! She treated us like we were family. Maribel is an amazing employee and I hope that her boss knows this. I hope that the Doctors know how valuable she is to IV Solutions. She is the first person that you meet when walking in, and first impressions of any business is very important!

I recently went into Chicago IV Solution's for a NAD+ infusion because I was curious about the benefits of NAD+ and wanted to see if I would feel/notice a change in my body from this coenzyme. I am so glad I tried it because I really have noticed a change in multiple aspects of my life. Biggest changes I noticed were in my sleep, energy, and endurance. I feel much more rested when I wake up, and full of energy. I even noticed the effects of NAD+ in the gym, it gives you the endurance to keep going, even when you feel like your body can't. It has only been a few days since my infusion, but I am excited to see what other changes I will see. I will definitely be going in again for another infusion!

Marcus Boggs

I have had 2 NAD+ treatments at IV Solution/Ketamine Centers of Chicago. After each treatment my energy, mood, and focus are at such high levels that my clarity goes from SD to HD! Dr. Bal Nandra and his team make you feel right home and are amazing from beginning to end. Thank you for introducing me to NAD+!

Antonio De Marco

What a blessing . From the moment you walk in to the waiting room to the minute that your sessions are over, you are constantly cared for. Nurturing and consistently monitored in such a friendly and professionally way, Bal and his staff , comfort you and give you that assurance you're in good hands. This groundbreaking treatment has allowed me to look at life differently. All my issues and problems are still present but this treatment has allowed me to look at them and deal with them differently. Stronger. More measured in my responses. And has Allowed me to be kinder to myself. To love myself , which actually is the first thing that I am conscious of when any problems arise. It's very cool this new ability to step back and look at things with a fresh pair of eyes. I have this new super power when dealing with people and situations. Its awesome. I write this review with such gratitude. I cant reccomend this treatment enough .

TechGuy

Dr Nandra is by far the best doctor I have seen. He is caring and knowledgeable. His staff as well. The “patient is our priority” type of leadership from Dr Nandra is reflected in everyone at his clinic. I have suffered from chronic pain most of my life. Dr Nandra will not give up on you like many doctors.

Ash F

Incredibly kind and caring medical and support staff who work hard to accommodate patients and make them more comfortable no matter how difficult the circumstances. I cannot recommend this group strongly enough to those in need of fast-acting relief for many types of chronic pain and psychiatric concerns, far above the other options in Chicago.

Kristin

All the staff are truly amazing! My anxiety and depression is so much more manageable. I don’t sit and shake anymore. I am in such a better place mentally. The ketamine infusion have been life changing for me.

Katie Mac

My life has changed so much for the better with the help of the treatments and staff here. I with I could send everyone I know who's suffering from pain or depression. I'm forever indebted.

Kathy Wrubleski

I do not know the exact words to describe what this treatment has done for me. Miraculous is not personal enough. Life changing is too general. I finally feel that I am the true person I am meant to be, that person that has been down deep, trying to show itself. My gratitude to Dr Nandra and his staff ( Prabh specifically) is eternal. Thank you from the "real" me.

Caitlyn Pemberton

Amazing and life saving experience with an incredible team of doctors and nurses. Cannot recommend IV solutions enough to those who suffer from depression and ptsd.

kathy koch

Has been life altering. I have treatment resistant depression and the IV ketamine has stabilized my mood. The staff is wonderful, caring and very professional.

Judson W. Smith

Amazing experience. The doctors and staff were all incredible, and after four years of trying different depression / anxiety meds, ketamine infusions got me out of the woods!

Holiday Parra

The entire staff is absolutely amazing...they are so kind hearted and make you feel right at home as soon as you walk through the door...they care for you as if you were part of their own family...I've struggled for 16 years with extreme anxiety, depression, chronic pain, migraines, OCD and PTSD...I also have pcos which causes a lot of abdominal and pelvic pain and recently was diagnosed with IBS...I've had 8 sessions and have seen a dramatic improvement in almost all areas that I've had problems with...I want to with my whole heart thank each and everyone of the members of this team for helping me achieve a better quality of life...if it wasn't for them and the ketamine infusion I wouldn't be hear to tell my story...thank you all so much again

Dr Nandra’s dedication to helping me manage daily debilitating chronic pain has given me a new lease on life.

Is this healing experience available for people coming from outside of Illinois? I’ve done tons of research on ketamine therapy and I hadn’t realized there were centers in the neighboring states.
