At Zephyr Medical in Brooklyn Heights, we believe wellness is best achieved through an integrative approach. Our infusion therapies are not just about symptom relief—they are about restoring balance, reducing reliance on harmful medications, and improving quality of life. Whether you are seeking relief from chronic pain, battling mood disorders, or simply looking to rejuvenate your body, our unique blend of services—ranging from IV hydration therapy to joint or spinal injections, and IV ketamine therapy—work together to support holistic health.
The Leadership of Dr. Benjamin Portal
Zephyr Medical is led by Dr. Benjamin Portal, a highly skilled and compassionate physician dedicated to evidence-based, patient-centered care. With extensive training in psychiatry, addiction, and integrative medicine, Dr. Portal ensures each treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs. Under his guidance, our infusion therapies are carefully designed to help patients regain health, resilience, and hope—even in cases where traditional treatments have failed.
Why a Blended Approach Matters
Each patient’s health journey is unique. Some may struggle with dehydration or nutrient deficiencies that worsen fatigue and brain fog. Others may face debilitating joint pain or back pain that limits mobility. Still others may be living with treatment-resistant depression or anxiety, where traditional options have fallen short.
By offering multiple advanced therapies under one roof, Zephyr Medical provides flexible, tailored solutions that can be combined or sequenced based on your individual needs. For example:
- IV Hydration Therapy replenishes electrolytes, vitamins, and fluids to restore energy and resilience.
- Joint and Spinal Injections target inflammation and pain directly, often reducing the need for long-term oral pain medications.
- IV Ketamine Therapy offers rapid relief for mood disorders and chronic pain conditions, especially when other treatments have failed.
This integrated care model allows our patients to not just manage conditions, but to truly thrive.
The Power of Ketamine—And What Lies Beyond
Ketamine, a groundbreaking therapy in mental health and chronic pain, works by targeting NMDA receptors in the brain to reset dysfunctional neural pathways. Many patients experience fast relief from conditions like depression, PTSD, neuropathic pain, arthritis, and sciatica.
However, ketamine is just one piece of the puzzle. At Zephyr Medical, we help patients maximize results by complementing ketamine infusions with other treatments—such as hydration therapy to strengthen recovery, or targeted injections to ease structural pain. This whole-person approach addresses both the root causes and the secondary effects of health challenges.
Q&A: Infusion Therapies at Zephyr Medical
Q: How does IV ketamine differ from oral medications for depression or pain?
A: Oral medications often take weeks to months to show results, and they may not work for everyone. IV ketamine delivers rapid results—sometimes within hours to days—by directly acting on the brain’s glutamate system, which plays a key role in mood regulation and pain signaling.
Q: Can infusion therapies be combined?
A: Yes. Many patients find that combining hydration therapy with ketamine or receiving joint injections alongside mood-focused treatments creates a stronger and longer-lasting benefit. Our physicians, including Dr. Benjamin Portal, will design a personalized treatment plan for you.
Q: Are these therapies safe?
A: All treatments at Zephyr Medical are performed in a safe, monitored environment by experienced medical professionals. We use evidence-based protocols to ensure optimal outcomes and minimize risk.
Q: Who is a good candidate for infusion therapies?
A: Candidates include individuals with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain (such as arthritis or back pain), frequent dehydration, migraines, or nutrient deficiencies. A thorough consultation helps determine the best fit.
Q: What makes Zephyr Medical unique in Brooklyn?
A: Beyond our cutting-edge therapies, Zephyr Medical—led by Dr. Benjamin Portal—is known for its “white-glove” patient experience. Our infusion suite is designed for comfort and calm, and our team works closely with patients to ensure every session feels safe, supportive, and personalized.
