My experience with Vancouver Ketamine began before I ever walked through their doors. When I first called to schedule a consultation, Amber answered the phone after hours. She was helping run the clinic while the Hares were out of the country, and instead of simply scheduling an appointment, she spent nearly an hour talking with me, listening to my history, answering my questions, and going far beyond what I ever would have expected from that first phone call. Amber, a nurse anesthetist and the owner’s sister-in-law, gave me my first glimpse of the extraordinary kindness and personal attention I would later experience as a patient there. By the time we hung up, I already had a sense that I had found someplace different.

If you live in Portland, Vancouver, or the surrounding metro area and are searching for a ketamine clinic, you can stop here—you’ve found it. Vancouver Ketamine, led by Karl Hare, ANP, CRNA, and his son Conner Hare, BSN, RN, changed the trajectory of my life in the best possible way. From the very beginning, it was clear I was being treated as a person—not a number, not a paycheck, but someone whose wellbeing truly mattered.

Their infusions have helped relieve my neuropathic pain, symptoms of post-traumatic stress related to medical trauma, and stubborn post-acute withdrawal symptoms (PAWS) from prescription medication—symptoms that had persisted despite everything I had done to try to find relief. The difference these treatments have made in my quality of life has been profound.

As many ketamine patients know, symptoms can begin to return over time, and booster infusions may become part of treatment. When that happened for me, I never questioned whether I was in the right hands. Karl and Conner are careful, precise, and deeply attentive in adjusting my treatments, always balancing symptom relief with safety. Their clinical expertise is matched by how much they genuinely care about the people they treat.

Karl and Conner treat me like family. They listen, they care, and I have always felt that they are making decisions based on what is best for me—not what is best for their bottom line. I go out of my way and pay extra to receive my care there, and it is absolutely worth it.

If you live in Portland, don’t overthink it—this is the clinic.

Staff are super professional and friendly. After a previous bad experience trying to establish care at a different clinic. I was very hesitant but after discussing with the doctor I was immediately put at ease. He is highly knowledgeable and well versed in the research and other homeopathic medicines to help support treatment which I greatly appreciate. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking this for of treatment

I am 39 and have been attempting to find relief for my mental health concerns from the age of 6. It’s been a long road of trying a multitude of psych meds that ultimately caused far more harm than good coupled with facing extreme stigma regarding my condition from the very people that are tasked to treat it professionally. I’ve been misdiagnosed, dismissed, and made to feel worse in our traditional mental health “care” system more times than I can count. Then I found ketamine at a point that I felt I was very close to succumbing to my illness. The stress my brain put on my body was overwhelming and I was breaking down mentally, emotionally, and physically. Ketamine legitimately saved my life. It took continued work and several months of sessions, but I can now wake up and just live. It is quite remarkable. Beyond remarkable. The staff, Karl specifically, have created a space where I did not even once feel judged even on my worst day. This place has truly changed my life and I feel that I can finally live with hope for the future. I can’t remember ever truly having that feeling in my life before now. It’s like entering a new world. I world that I saw other people enjoying but was out of reach for me until now.

I have chronic nerve pain in my left foot due to a couple of back surgeries.

Carl has been amazing answering all of my questions. Probably at least a couple of hours. Phone calls in the past few weeks about what the session would and also he goes above and beyond for just recommendations for me and genuinely cares for me and wants me to get better
Due to a couple of reasons. I haven’t yet done the infusion so I can’t comment on that but if/when I do, I am definitely going to Carl as he seems the best.

The intake process with Karl is wonderful.  He's a very knowledgeable professional who really cares and knows his stuff.  He goes out of his way to make things easy for the patients I refer to the clinic.  Paperwork, explanation of process, procedures, medical education, patient safety, comfort, are just top notch.  I can't recommend this clinic more.

My daughter has been receiving infusions at the Vancouver Ketamine Clinic and I am very impressed with the level of compassion and knowledge Karl and his team has. When we moved here I was worried we would not find a place where she would feel comfortable to go to every month. Well she has. My daughter has a port and following sterile protocol is way more important with a port than it is placing an IV. They follow complete sterile protocol and it makes me feel very safe knowing that.
Thank you Karl for taking such good care of my daughter,
Liz

Where do I even start!? Karl and his team are remarkable and a blessing to our community. I have PTSD, I'm on the autism spectrum and have ADHD and experience anxiety from a situational issue right now. I was severe fight, flight, freeze and fawn. I can't imagine how I would have coped through this experience without ketamine infusion therapy. From the very first consult and speaking with Karl he shared so much insight and how he thought this could really help. The very first infusion was life changing and helped tremendously. I felt so connected and grounded after just my first infusion.

The infusions themselves have been somewhat difficult...I joke with Karl that I want the floaty rainbows and unicorns experience! My infusions are pretty "dark" and can be quite uncomfortable because I am working through years of PTSD and survival mode and he explained to me this is not uncommon. That brought me some relief and helped with my mindset before each infusion. The experience after the infusions is where the real magic is happening and I'm so thankful, grateful and feeling much better.

You are in the best hands with this team of truly caring people and Karl is a wealth of knowledge about Ketamine therapy. I feel so safe when I'm in their space. Don't hesitate to start this therapy, it's life changing!
