Road distance and route from OpenStreetMap routing, without traffic. Health figures are CDC PLACES model-based, age-adjusted estimates for adults (2023 survey data, 2025 release). They describe the community, not our patients.
Route and tolls from FishHawk
Heading out of FishHawk, the measured route runs about six miles up Lithia Pinecrest Road, then west on Lumsden Road to the Selmon Expressway. From there it crosses to I-275 on the I-4/Selmon Expressway Connector and exits at Fletcher Avenue, about 31 miles in all.
Both the Selmon Expressway and the connector charge tolls. Toll-free routes through Brandon and central Tampa are possible, though they generally take longer and involve more stop-and-go traffic.
What CDC estimates show for FishHawk
CDC PLACES estimates that 17.8 in every 100 adults in the FishHawk area have been told they have a depressive disorder, above the Hillsborough County estimate of 16.7. About 15.9 in every 100 adults are estimated to experience frequent mental distress.
Like all PLACES figures, these are modeled from a national survey and describe the community as a whole. Depression is common in growing suburbs as much as anywhere, and it often goes unspoken among busy working parents.
Scheduling around school and work
The clinic is open on weekdays, from 9am to 5pm. With the drive and roughly 90 minutes to two hours on site, a session from FishHawk takes a good part of the day, and you will need someone else to drive you home.
Families often find it easiest to choose a regular weekday and time for the course, arrange school pickups for those days in advance, and keep the evening after each session free of commitments. A predictable routine also makes it easier to notice, and tell us, how you are feeling from one session to the next. You should not drive again until the next day.
Starting the conversation from home
You can request a consultation and have it by telehealth from FishHawk, as long as you are physically in Florida. It covers your history, what you have tried, the medications you take, and whether ketamine therapy is worth considering at all.
If a course is recommended, you get the plan and its full cost in writing first, with no obligation. If it is not the right step, we will say so, and suggest discussing other options with your own clinicians.
Help that does not wait for clinic hours
Treatment sessions happen on weekdays, but hard moments do not keep a schedule. Anywhere in Hillsborough County, including Lithia, dialing 211 connects you with the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay, which the county lists as open around the clock. The 988 Lifeline answers calls and texts too.
If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.
Request a consultation
A conversation, not a commitment. Please don't include medical records, diagnosis details, or anything urgent — this form is not monitored for emergencies.
In person or by telehealth
You can be seen both ways. Consultations, planning conversations, and follow-up visits happen in person at our Tampa clinic or by telehealth — whichever works better for you.
Ketamine itself is always administered in person, at the clinic, with a clinician monitoring you throughout. We do not prescribe ketamine for use at home.
Telehealth visits require you to be physically located in Florida at the time of the visit.
How telehealth works here
- Telehealth is available to patients who are physically located in Florida, and the clinicians providing that care hold active Florida licenses.
- Your location is confirmed at the start of every telehealth visit. If you are not in Florida, the visit does not go ahead.
- Ketamine is never prescribed for you to take at home. It is administered only at our clinic, in person, with a clinician monitoring you throughout — a telehealth visit does not change that.
- You are seen in person before any treatment session, because every session happens at the clinic.
- A telehealth visit never guarantees that treatment will be offered, any more than an in-person evaluation does.
- Telehealth is not for emergencies. If you are in crisis or having thoughts of self-harm, call or text 988, or call 911.
Common questions
About 23 miles in a straight line and roughly 31 by road. The fastest route we measured uses Lithia Pinecrest Road, Lumsden Road, the Selmon Expressway, and I-275, with tolls on the expressway and connector. The clinic is at 3971 Moran Rd Ste 101-2, Tampa, FL 33618.
The clinic is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, so treatment sessions are scheduled on weekdays. Telehealth consultations and check-ins also take place during those hours, while you are physically located in Florida.
No. Every patient follows the same process: an evaluation, a written plan and cost if treatment is recommended, monitored sessions at the Tampa clinic, and a driver home each time. Distance only changes how much of the day each visit takes.
