About Us

Innovative Psychedelics (formerly Innovative Ketamine) treats patients with severe depression, pain and mood disorders using IV ketamine. Dr. Rahul Khare, founder and CEO is a board certified emergency physician who spent more than a decade at Northwestern Medicine before opening his own group of medical practices. It was during his time at Northwestern that Khare realized the challenges associated with treating mental illness. He began exploring ketamine as a possible solution and was among the first physicians in Chicago to offer ketamine infusions. Khare opened a dedicated IV ketamine clinic in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood in 2019. A second location will open in Downers Grove in the spring of 2023.
