The Ketamine Institute and Dr. Grass are at the forefront of the emerging field of ketamine infusion therapy with the new RESTORE Ketamine Infusion Program. We pioneered the development and use of an enhanced infusion therapy known as RESTORE to bring the latest breakthrough discoveries about ketamine out of the research lab and into our infusion centers. Grass, MD, is an internationally renowned
and respected physician who served as Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine at Yale University School of Medicine, where the original ketamine infusion for depression was developed in 1994. He was also the Director of the Yale Pain Medicine Fellowship Program and served as Chief of Pain Medicine for the Connecticut Veterans Healthcare Administration. He has a broad background in medicine and has trained in various specialties, including Anesthesiology, Neurosurgery, Emergency Medicine, and Alternative/Complementary Medicine. This experience has given him the knowledge and training to bridge the gaps in modern medicine and establish new frontiers in ketamine-based science and treatment modalities. His wide range of experience includes working in hospital settings, private practice, academia, research, and clinical trials, which has given him insider knowledge on ketamine applications and has led to establishing new frontiers in ketamine-based science and treatment modalities. Dr. Grass has presented his ground-breaking research at regional and national conferences and meetings and to and government agencies, including the Veterans Administration and the Department of Defense. Dr. Grass is sought out by prestigious hospitals, academic institutions, and other specialists for his knowledge and experience in ketamine therapy. Since 1998, he has been administering ketamine to treat chronic pain, immunological disorders, mood disorders and pioneering the RESTORE Infusion Program. He has established the Ketamine Infusion Training Program, the first international training program for doctors to relieve treatment-resistant mood disorders and intractable chronic pain. He has more direct clinical experience performing ketamine-based infusions than anyone in the world and has spent thousands of hours personally guiding, assisting, and helping during their infusion sessions. The insights, techniques, and experience he has gained have been invaluable in developing the RESTORE infusion.
