H. Samuel Ko, MD, MBA, FACEP, FAAEM
I'm Sam Ko, an emergency physician. My “why” is to be a transformational healer, for my patients, for the doctors I teach, and for medicine itself.
I have practiced emergency medicine for about 20 years. In 2017 I founded Reset Ketamine, the first ketamine infusion clinic in Palm Springs. We treat people with depression, PTSD, anxiety, OCD, and chronic pain.
I also co-founded Ketamine StartUp, an online course that helps physicians open their own ketamine clinics, and I teach the stellate ganglion block (SGB) procedure to doctors at LearnSGB.
I host it with my wife, Kim Ko, MD. We talk with clinicians about building and running ketamine practices. Listen on Apple Podcasts.

First entries coming soon.
Being present. Thinking and writing. Solving problems, learning, and growing.
I am a husband and a father, and I keep looking for wisdom and truth. Stoic philosophy and consciousness studies are part of that search.
In medicine I'm drawn to the cutting edge: psychedelic therapy, integrative pain care, and what new technology can do for doctors. Outside of it I like playing with my daughter, adventures, good stories, good podcasts, and getting stronger.
