Alive Med Spa & Ketamine Clinic — Ketamine Clinic in Kirkwood, MO

I visited Alive Health and Wellness for laser hair removal, Botox, and lip filler. I was nervous and didn’t know exactly what I wanted. Dr. Novof explained all of my options and what to expect. He was gentle during the procedures and was very reassuring. I couldn’t be happier with my results! All of the staff was kind and welcoming. The clinic is clean and beautiful. Highly recommend!

I’m a nurse and former social worker. I’m also someone who suffered from treatment resistant depression and anxiety for over 30 years. I’ve tried every medication known to human kind. I’ve done therapy and tried so many other forms of treatment with no success. Then I decided to try ketamine at the suggestion of my psychiatrist. I have been going to Alive Ames Spa and ketamine clinic since I was referred to them fall of last year. I can honestly say they have saved my life. I used to wish every single day that I wasn’t living this life. I found no joy or happiness in anything. I felt life was a punishment for something I had done at sometime in the past and I was completely miserable. I ruminated over every word I said and had a constant running dialogue in my brain about what a horrible person I was and no matter what I did I would never be be good enough. There were many times I wanted to unalive myself until I found Alive. Within the first few sessions I knew I had found something completely different. My negative thoughts started to quiet and over a pretty fast amount of time I healed. Ketamine and the staff at Alive literally saved my life. It’s been less than a year and I have never felt inner peace, joy, confidence, and contentment with my life (without all the awful side effects of antidepressants and anti anxiety meds) as I do now that I have received this amazing therapy. Anyone who is even just starting to think about it I promise you, try it. This will give you a life you never knew you could have. If anyone has any questions and would like to speak with someone who has gone through it you may ask the clinic to give you my contact information and I’m happy to talk to you more in depth. THANK YOU ALIVE FOR SAVING MY LIFE.

Alive is the very best clinic in St. Louis! Dr. Novof is very thoughtful and provides such a wonderful experience for Ketamine treatments. Highly recommend!!

A beautiful office and the best place for any treatment. Dr. Novof is highly knowledgeable and very intentional in everything he does, while clearly explaining what he is doing. The clinic is not close to me, but it's worth the drive every time. I always know I will leave happy.

I had a rave-worthy experience at Alive. I opted for the unlimited area laser hair removal package, which is a STEAL and shouldn't be the best kept secret! Ash was professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and thoughtful. Don't sleep on this offer! Alive was conveniently located, clean and serenely decorated. The staff were all friendly and helpful. I didn't leave without booking my next laser appointment and added a facial, too!

The space is calming and nice. Dr. Novof and Ash did a great job with the services I received. They made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedures. They are knowledgeable and provided advice on what would help improve my appearance while still looking natural. Make sure to ask about any specials so you can take advantage of them.

they will bring you back to life with the IV bags! Thank you!

One word - WOW. I was so nervous to do my first ketamine treatment but everyone here is so amazing and so understanding. Shoutout to Dr. Novof who was kind enough to sit with me and talk with me while I was doing treatment. 10/10

This unethical practice scammed my son, who has severe depression. The psychiatrist recommended he try ketamine nasal dose, which was uninsured. Alive offered the nasal spray only after I canceled my appointment, and the doctor called me.The unprofessional young women that work there pressured my son to do the intravenous because the nasal spray doesn't work. My son was desperate and insisted on the best results, so I doubled my out-of-pocket payment to $500. Despite assurances of great veins and minimal pain, it took three sticks to administer the ketamine. The open door allowed him to hear office procedures and chatter, making it uncomfortable. The doctor was never on the premises.The lack of professionalism and the unethical behavior of the staff are concerning. I strongly advise against this place. I am briefly editing to add that I was contacted by Alive now that I made this review online. There were no responses to my previous calls and emails after my son had his experience, but now that it’s a public record…..
