Gerald W. Grass, MD - Course Founder and Director

Gerald W. Grass, MD, began utilizing ketamine in the treatment of chronic pain and depression in 1998 and has since pioneered the development of the RESTORE Infusion and has established the Ketamine Infusion Training Program, the first international training program for physicians to alleviate treatment-resistant mood disorders and intractable chronic pain rapidly.

Dr. Grass has more direct-patient clinical experience providing ketamine infusion therapy than any other physician in the United States.  His work treating injured soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with complex pain, depression, and PTSD issues led to the development of the RESTORE infusion. He has presented his breakthrough accomplishments at regional and national meetings and conferences, as well as to other physicians and governmental organizations, including the Veterans Administration and the Department of Defense.

Dr. Grass developed the RESTORE Infusions over 20 years as an improvement of the regular ketamine infusion.  The ultimate goal was to make ketamine-based infusion therapy as effective and long-lasting as possible. Today, the RESTORE infusion is regarded as a "gold standard" in ketamine-based treatment.

In addition to developing RESTORE, Dr. Grass is a widely published author and lecturer who has numerous academic publications, including peer-reviewed articles, educational presentations, abstracts, and book chapters. He has taught at some of the most prestigious academic and research institutions in the country, including Yale School of Medicine and the NYU-Mount Sinai Medical Center.

Dr. Grass has more direct-patient clinical experience providing ketamine infusion therapy than any other physician in the United States.  He is sought out by major medical centers, research institutions, and other physicians for his expertise and experience in ketamine therapy.

We Work As A Team

This is a team effort and requires expertise from many related fields. To ensure our patients comprehensive care, the Ketamine Research Institute and our trained and certified practitioners collaborate on an ongoing basis sharing knowledge and expertise in this rapidly expanding field.  We network to share the latest developments in the field, answer questions and build a shared database to conduct clinical research into ketamine-based therapy.

Chronic pain and mood disorders represent an immense clinical problem. With tens of millions of people in the United States alone suffering from the burden of these debilitating illnesses, there is a moral obligation to reduce this burden by improving the understanding and treatment mechanisms, developing new therapies, optimizing and testing existing therapies, and improving access to evidence-based care.

We bring together a multidisciplinary international collaboration in the field of ketamine-based therapy, bringing together scientists, clinicians, healthcare providers, and policy makers to stimulate and support the study of ketamine and to translate that knowledge into improved relief worldwide.

The Ketamine Research Institute was founded to continually improve and perfect ketamine treatment for an expanding range of chronic illnesses. After devoting almost 2 decades to the clinical use, research and development of this innovative therapy. We are a very specialized center devoted exclusively to ketamine treatment, clinical research, education and training physicians worldwide in the use of ketamine. We have developed the first and most comprehensive educational training program for physicians in the use of ketamine-based therapy.  More than that, we have established an international multidisciplinary collaboration initiative with centers in Australia and Europe to share knowledge and expertise with physicians on the cutting-edge of ketamine therapy.

Additionally, to ensure that all of our certified ketamine centers provide treatment in the most effective way and in a safe manner, the Ketamine Research Institute, in collaboration with our partners, has and developed the first International Standards for Ketamine Infusion Centers.  Our goal is to ensure that you have the best possible opportunity to improve with ketamine infusion therapy.
