Meet Dr. Bal Nandra, Medical Director
Dr. Bal Nandra has over seven years of experience leading IV Solution & Ketamine Centers of Chicago. Trained as an anesthesiologist at the prestigious University of Chicago Hospitals Department of Anesthesia and Critical Care, he has nearly 25 years of clinical experience and serves as IV Solution's Medical Director and Founder. With his oversight and leadership, IV Solution has performed over 15,000 ketamine infusions since 2017, which represents far more experience than any ketamine clinic in Chicagoland and the Midwest. His clinic's outcomes for depression, anxiety, PTSD and other mental illnesses are industry leading.
Nandra was awarded the 2022 National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Chicago “Light The Darkness Award” for innovation and mental health wellness. He also received the 2024 Ellis Island Medal of Honor for his mental health innovation and philanthropic efforts, an award recognized by Congress and considered to be the nation's most prestigious.
Dr. Nandra has also co-authored multiple published clinical studies both from his clinic and in collaboration with the Baylor College of Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry to evaluate the impact of ketamine infusions in the community and real world. Dr Nandra also works closely with Dr. Eugene Lipov to provide comprehensive care for those suffering from PTSD by utilizing the Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) for his patients.
In 2018, Dr Nandra and his wife, Jill, founded a nonprofit called the Serenity Foundation, to provide financial assistance for those with economic hardship and would benefit from ketamine.
