Ketamine therapy has shown remarkable results for conditions that haven't responded to traditional treatments.
Ridgecrest sits in the northern Mojave adjacent to a major naval weapons station, so much of the population is military, contractor or defense-adjacent. It is geographically isolated, with the nearest metropolitan medical care hours away, and there is a well-documented reluctance in defense communities to seek psychiatric treatment. Dr. Ben Soffer, D.O., licensed in California, treats Ridgecrest residents by secure video with discreet home delivery.
The High Desert, including Victorville, Hesperia, Apple Valley, Adelanto and Barstow, is among the most psychiatrically underserved parts of Southern California. Dr. Ben Soffer, D.O., licensed in California, treats High Desert residents by secure video with medication delivered to the door.
The region combines long commutes down the Cajon Pass toward San Bernardino and Los Angeles with a logistics and transportation economy built on shift work, plus significant distance from any specialty psychiatric care. Sleep disruption from shift work and commuting is a recurring theme in how depression presents here.
Driving down the Cajon Pass repeatedly for infusion appointments, without being able to drive yourself home afterward, is not a realistic treatment plan. Telehealth removes the distance: you meet Dr. Soffer by video and self-administer at home with a sober support person present, under physician oversight.
