Dr. Sara Herman, Founder and Medical Director of Soft Reboot Wellness (Ketamine Therapy Clinic in Bay Area), was invited to join the conversation by Dr. Zeest Khan, a cardiothoracic anesthesiologist who personally experienced a SGB procedure under Dr. Herman&#8217;s care and sought a deeper clinical exchange about the treatment and its potential applications.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The podcast, published on the Long Covid MD Substack, also featured Dr. Anna Maria Bombardieri, clinical associate professor of anesthesiology at Stanford and a lead research scientist in the NIH RECOVER-TLC trial.
