Tiffany Owens, MD
As a medical student, I discovered my passion for anesthesiology due to its unique blend of critical thinking and clinical skills. Transitioning into a role as a physician anesthesiologist, I became acutely aware of the profound positive impact of ketamine therapy, particularly in patients with severe pain conditions like burn victims or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Witnessing the benefits of ketamine during perioperative care and in addressing acute and chronic psychoses fueled my conviction to explore its therapeutic potential further.
My commitment to evidence-based medicine, drawing from references and literature of both the American Board of Anesthesiology and the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, underscores my dedication to delivering high-quality care. In expanding my practice, I now integrate outpatient ketamine therapy, leveraging my expertise to assess patient suitability and ensuring their safety.
Collaborating closely with referring clinicians, my role involves not only the administration of this potent medication but also comprehensive education and training for all staff involved in ketamine therapy to manage potential adverse effects. I am enthusiastic about the evolving landscape of ketamine's applications in mental health and pain disorders. Embracing both self-administered intranasal use and continuous infusion, our clinic aims to provide personalized and holistic care. By sharing patient success stories, staying informed on the latest research, and actively engaging in community outreach, I aim to destigmatize ketamine therapy while contributing to the growing knowledge base.
Looking forward, my interest lies in integrating ketamine therapy with emerging modalities and technologies, ensuring our approach remains at the forefront of innovation for enhanced patient outcomes. Through ongoing collaboration, education, and research, I aspire to be a driving force in advancing the field of ketamine therapy, addressing not only the immediate needs of patients but also contributing to the broader medical community's understanding and acceptance of this transformative treatment.
