OUR PHYSICIAN
Dr. Scott Gillin is a board-certified anesthesiologist with more than 25 years of experience in anesthesia and the medical use of ketamine. He completed his anesthesiology residency at UC San Diego, where he served as Chief Resident, followed by fellowship training in pediatric anesthesiology at Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego.
Dr. Gillin later served as Chief of Anesthesia at Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego, bringing decades of experience in patient safety, medication management, and the precise administration of ketamine and other anesthetic medications to his work at Seaside Ketamine.
