Amy GutierrezAugust 18, 2026Bethesda

I have had the pleasure of going to 3 locations- Bethesda, Tyson, and DC. Every experience has been phenomenal and the staff makes sure you are heard and happy. Both before the infusion and afterwards. They are all amazing and have the best bedside manners!

Wendy LaffermanSeptember 25, 2026Columbia

This was my first visit to Avesta for a Ketamine infusion for chronic migraine pain comorbid with mental health diagnosis.

Coming in with a lot of anxiety due to past experiences, I was greeted by Nyla who was kind, patient, and empathetic throughout my entire visit. She was there to answer any questions I had. The environment was quiet and peaceful; with a sign as a reminder.

My practitioner, Nate, was amazing. He was caring and intentional. Communicated every step of the process and eased all my fears; specifically getting the IV on the first stick!! Both checked in on me often throughout the infusion to ensure I was having the best possible experience.

I’m incredibly grateful that I found this place and am looking forward to my next visit!

As always the experience was top notch. Nate and Gillian saw to it that my needs were met and questions answered. I always feel like I’m in the best hands when I’m there. These treatments are life savers for me.

Elsa AlaswadJuly 18, 2026Washington DC

This place is a haven for me. What makes it the most special are the people who work here, especially Abigail and Arielle. They make the whole experience feel safe and comfortable. Abigail is a wonderful and caring future physician who makes you feel right at home. She’s a joy to have around. Arielle is an expert at IV placement in addition to being an amazing healthcare provider with impeccable bedside manner. I love to see she’s the NP on because I know I’m gonna be in extremely capable hands. Avesta is my happy place. Thank you for making my life better.
