My experience with Shasta Meadows Wellness Center has been excellent! Far exceeding my expectations! Dr. Taggart has created a very professional environment while at the same time making every encounter very personal, casual, and comfortable. Everyone at Shasta Meadows Wellness Center was so friendly, compassionate, respectful, and knowledgeable. Dr. Taggart took time to understand my history, my experiences, and the reason(s) I was there. In my experience, that is just so rare anymore. Now, regarding the reason I came to Shasta Meadows Wellness Center. I have been diagnosed, at 27 years old, with Bipolar disorder with the primary symptom being depression with almost constant suicidal thoughts. Over the past 3 decades I have tried countless medications and therapies to reduce the depression. This included 2 rounds of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Though some of the medications provided some relief, they all came with many awful/intolerable side effects. I had gotten to the point that I could not find much reason to continue and the suicidal thoughts were becoming plans of action (PHQ of 27). I was in a very desperate place. When I decided to try Ketamine Infusions at Shasta Meadows Wellness Center, I had little hope that it would work. Just one more medication/therapy in a very long list. So now the results of my Ketamine infusions. After 4-5 Ketamine infusions the depression began to diminish, in a way that was different than the most successful medication/therapy I had tried, and without side effects. I was able to complete tasks that had been overwhelming prior to the Ketamine infusions. The suicidal ideation was almost none existent. My outlook was becoming positive. I was able to participate in life and not just live in isolation. I was motivated and had focus. I have completed 6 Ketamine infusions and 1 "booster" at this point. A little over 3 months since my 1st Ketamine infusion, I am not feeling depressed (PHQ of 6)! I'm living my life again! I'm reconnecting to family and friends! I'm productive! And, I'm enjoying it all!! Thank you Dr. Taggart and everyone at Shasta Meadows Wellness Clinic! I am so glad that I found you!!

Dr. Taggart and team does a wonderful job with laser hair removal. They have the latest technology and knowledgeable staff. Shasta Meadows performs a variety of cosmetic procedures. I'm going back for more treatments.

Dr. Taggart at Shasta Meadows Wellness has changed our lives! My husband suffered a TBI in 2020 and started experiencing major depression, anxiety and not being able to focus on daily task. Every doctor we saw would tell us the same thing… it’s going to take time…. Or this is the new normal. We refuse to accept that and we were so excited when we met Dr. Taggart and he did not except that either. Dr. Taggart went above and beyond to find better ways to treat my husband’s symptoms . He has since got him on hormone therapy and brain supplements. For the first time since the accident we have hope! These past few months have been absolutely incredible and we have dr. Taggart to thank for it!

If you suffer chronic severe treatment resistant depression like I do or any of the several conditions known to be improved using Ketamine treatments I would HIGHLY recommend Shasta Meadows. The Drs and staff there make you feel like you are more than just a patient . They care about how you feel and how the treatments work for you. It’s not just about costs and that is hard to find in todays medical world. I am half way through my treatment course and to simply say I feel better than I have EVER felt since my teen years is a complete understatement. If you suffer PLEASE at least call them. It might literally change your life!!!
