New treatments: Spravato® | Ketamine IV
- We at SOMA see ketamine IV therapy as an adjunct to other therapies for mental health conditions. We will work closely with your therapist and/or psychiatrist to optimize your mental well-being. Our approach uses a low dose of ketamine through a series of intravenous (IV) infusions, resulting in treatment backed by research and consensus guidelines.
- Learn more about our ketamine IV treatments on our page
- South Omaha Medical offers SPRAVATO®. An effective method in treating adults with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). It is an intranasal prescription medicine, used along with an antidepressant taken by mouth, for Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD) in adults. Treatment resistant depression is defined as the failure of two or more oral antidepressants of adequate dose and duration.
- If you, are someone you know is, struggling with depression that has tried two or more antidepressants with out adequate relief, it may be time to talk to your current doctor or schedule an evaluation to see if Spravato® is right for you.
- Each treatment session lasts roughly two hours during which patients are monitored in a comfortable setting in our clinics.

TESTIMONIALS
I've been a patient at SOMA for a few years now and am happy to share my positive feedback about the clinic! The office staff are always friendly and helpful, and I never leave unsatisfied with the care and treatment I receive. I would recommended them to anyone!
I have been a long time patient of South Omaha Medical and feel that I have developed a strong bond with my doctor. She always listens and explains exactly what is wrong with me and what treatments are available. I sometimes have to wait a bit but I know it is because she is trying to deliver that same quality treatment to everyone else. Well worth the wait- I love Dr. Correa!
