Newport Beach residents searching for ketamine therapy now have a local option that doesn’t require a drive to Los Angeles or San Diego. Seaside Ketamine — one of Southern California’s most established and clinically rigorous ketamine practices — has opened a location in Newport Beach, bringing the same physician-led care and comprehensive treatment philosophy that has defined our Cardiff practice to Orange County.
Orange County has one of the highest concentrations of high-achieving, health-conscious adults in California — and one of the most underserved ketamine therapy markets relative to demand. We’ve seen patients from Newport Beach, Irvine, Laguna Beach, Corona del Mar, and the broader OC driving to our San Diego clinic because they couldn’t find a practice here that met the clinical standard they were looking for.
That changes now.
At Seaside Ketamine Newport Beach, we evaluate and treat the full spectrum of conditions for which ketamine therapy has evidence:
Treatment-Resistant Depression Major depressive disorder that has not responded adequately to antidepressant medications is the most common reason patients seek ketamine therapy. If you’ve tried two or more antidepressants at adequate doses without achieving remission, you meet the clinical definition of treatment-resistant depression — and ketamine has some of the strongest evidence available for this population.
Anxiety Disorders Generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder that have not responded to medication and therapy can be meaningfully addressed through ketamine’s glutamate-mediated mechanism. Newport Beach’s high-performance professional culture produces a particular pattern of high-functioning anxiety — outwardly managed but internally relentless — that ketamine can address at the neurological level.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder PTSD from any source — combat exposure, occupational trauma, relational trauma, medical trauma, or adverse childhood experiences — is within our scope of practice. For Orange County’s significant veteran and first responder community, ketamine therapy offers a path forward when standard treatments have fallen short.
Chronic Pain and Migraines Fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), neuropathic pain, and refractory migraines all have a central sensitization component that ketamine’s NMDA receptor mechanism directly addresses.
OCD, Burnout, and Alcohol Use Disorder We offer evidence-based ketamine treatment for treatment-resistant OCD, profound occupational burnout, and — as part of a comprehensive program — alcohol use disorder.
Every patient at our Newport Beach location is managed by Dr. Scott Gillin, a board-certified physician with IFM functional medicine training and deep clinical experience across ketamine therapy, metabolic psychiatry, and integrative medicine. This is not a franchise model — the same clinical standards, the same comprehensive intake process, the same neuromodulation-enhanced protocol, and the same integration framework that defines our Cardiff practice are present in Newport Beach.
We offer IV ketamine infusions, IM ketamine, Spravato (esketamine) for eligible patients, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for appropriate presentations.
The first step is always a free 15-minute consultation — available by phone or video, no drive required. If it seems like a fit, we’ll schedule your full intake evaluation at our Newport Beach location and build your personalized treatment plan from there.
Newport Beach deserves the same level of ketamine care that San Diego has had. We’re here to provide it.
Seaside Ketamine Newport Beach | Serving Newport Beach, Corona del Mar, Irvine, Laguna Beach, and greater Orange County
Yes. Seaside Ketamine Newport Beach is a second location of the same physician-led practice, operating under the same clinical standards, protocols, and direct oversight of Dr. Scott Gillin. It is not a franchise or affiliated clinic — it is the same practice, extended to Orange County. Patients who have previously been treated at our Cardiff location and are now in the Newport Beach area can continue their care seamlessly.
Our Newport Beach location offers the full range of Seaside Ketamine’s treatment options: IV ketamine infusions, IM (intramuscular) ketamine, Spravato (esketamine) for eligible patients with treatment-resistant depression, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for appropriate presentations. The intake process, protocol design, and integration support are identical to our Cardiff practice.
The best way to determine candidacy is a free 15-minute consultation, which can be done by phone or video before you ever visit the clinic in person. Generally, ketamine therapy is most appropriate for patients who have tried standard treatments — antidepressants, therapy, pain medications — without achieving adequate relief. Dr. Gillin will assess your complete history and give you an honest, direct evaluation of whether ketamine is the right fit and what realistic outcomes might look like for your specific situation.
