KETAMINE INFUSION THERAPY
We are all about helping you heal in a safe, comfortable space. Our approach blends psychedelic medication with psychotherapy to create personalized treatment plans tailored to your journey.
Let’s face it—traditional medications for mental health often come with a long list of side effects and don’t always work. And with limited options for chronic pain, we’re now facing the ongoing opioid crisis. That’s where we come in! We offer a non-opioid, non-habit-forming alternative that could be just what you need. Chat with our doctors to explore how we can support you.
Our team at Med Lounge is led by board-certified physicians who specialize in ketamine infusion therapy. We craft treatment plans that fit your unique needs and help you get into the right mindset for the best possible outcome. With our spa-like, tranquil clinics, you’ll feel relaxed and cared for as we address both mental health and chronic pain issues.
We believe that preparation is key! That’s why every plan includes both pre-treatment prep and post-infusion integration with a licensed psychotherapist who’s experienced in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. We’re with you every step of the way.
What is ketamine and how is it used for therapy?
Ketamine, FDA-approved in 1970 as an anesthetic, was widely used during the Vietnam War for its safety and minimal side effects. Today, it’s gaining recognition for treating conditions like depression, PTSD, anxiety, addiction, and chronic pain, with numerous studies backing its effectiveness.
Unlike traditional psychiatric meds that target a single receptor (like serotonin), Ketamine works on multiple receptors, making it highly effective. By acting on the glutamate system, it helps repair brain connections damaged by conditions such as depression and PTSD. This process, called synaptic plasticity, promotes the growth of new neural connections, allowing the brain to heal.
What makes Ketamine unique is its potential to reverse the damage caused by mental health conditions, rather than just managing symptoms. It can also enhance the brain’s receptiveness to psychotherapy, helping patients respond differently to stressors and achieve lasting recovery.

Meet The Doctors
Dr. Tanya Dall
Hello, my name is Dr. Tanya Dall. I am a Board Certified Emergency Medicine Physician. I was raised in a military, and completely non-medical, family. My interest in medicine was piqued in the 5th grade, while watching the hit TV show “TLC-Trauma; Life in the ER.” I was instantly fascinated by how the human body, specifically the brain, functioned. This interest has continued, as I have now shifted to focus on how psychedelic treatments can heal the mind.
I studied Human Physiology at the University of Arizona. I went on to obtain my Medical Degree at Georgetown University. I was blessed with the opportunity to return home to the West Coast to train at UC Irvine for my Emergency Medicine residency training.
I now work on staff in the Emergency Department at the Level 2 Trauma center Providence Mission Hospital, in Mission Viejo, CA. I also travel occasionally to rural Bisbee and Douglas, AZ to offer care to these underserved communities. I specialize in the safe and effective use of Ketamine in my daily practice.
After many years of practicing Medicine, I realize the failures of Traditional Medicine to treat mental health and chronic pain. After much research, I believe psychedelic medicine is the future of treating such conditions.
Welcome, and I cannot wait to meet you and share more about how we can help!
Dr. Justin Yanuck
Hi, my name Is Dr. Justin Yanuck and I am board certified in both Emergency Medicine (University of California, Irvine) and Pain Medicine (Harvard Massachusetts General Hospital). My background is a bit atypical for most Emergency Medicine doctors, but throughout my residency I felt for many chronic pain patients that we would see in the emergency room, I didn’t quite know how to best help them. I decided to start doing research in the world of chronic pain, and this led me to pursuing a fellowship where I devoted an entire year to learning about pain management. I practiced in a private pain medicine clinic after this training, and throughout that time I came across a subset of patients that no matter what intervention you would do for them, or medication I would start, they wouldn’t get any robust relief.
While working in the emergency department, which I continue to do to this day, I have had extensive experience working with Ketamine for multiple reasons: procedural sedation, reduction in acute pain, and for calming hyperactive patients. Over the years, I started to become interested in the possibility that Ketamine could be used not just for these reasons but possibly other diseases as well. I’ve since dived into the existing literature on Ketamine as well as other emerging therapeutics including Psilocybin, LSD, MDMA and I am convinced that these medications can really help people who are suffering. For now, Ketamine is the only legal medication to be utilized and is thus where my primary focus has been, and having heard from my own patients as well as reviewing the literature, I am convinced that Ketamine assisted therapy, for the right patient, can be a transformational treatment option.
