Nathan has been an Emergency Room Physician for 22 years, and spent the first 20 years of his practice in the high stress environment of Emergency Rooms and various trauma centers.  In 2023 he experienced the benefits of ketamine treatment as a patient himself, and it changed the entire course of his career. He is now a full time ketamine provider and brings his years of experience working with ketamine to Koru, overseeing the medical side of our ketamine program. He is passionate about the science and data supporting ketamine for mental health, and is finding joy again in watching his patients heal in their mental health journey.
