Advanced Wellness and Pain — Scottsdale’s Premier Ketamine & Peptide Therapy Clinic

Where board-certified anesthesiologists meet cutting-edge longevity medicine — helping Scottsdale’s most discerning patients transform their mental health and physical vitality.

Scottsdale has long been a destination for those who take their health as seriously as their lifestyle. Advanced Wellness and Pain fits that ethos perfectly — a physician-led clinic at 5111 N. Scottsdale Road where three board-certified anesthesiologists have built one of Arizona’s most sophisticated wellness practices from the ground up.

Co-founded in 2020 by Drs. Leathem, Sharma, and Wong — collectively holding over 40 years of clinical experience — the clinic specializes in treatments that are still considered pioneering in much of the country but have become sought-after in Scottsdale’s health-conscious community.

Ketamine Therapy: A New Paradigm in Mental Health

Advanced Wellness and Pain’s ketamine therapy program is among the most clinically rigorous in Arizona. Unlike ketamine clinics staffed by non-specialists, every infusion at Advanced Wellness and Pain is administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist — physicians who have each overseen thousands of anesthetic cases.

For patients struggling with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain, ketamine therapy offers something that conventional treatments often cannot: rapid, measurable relief. Many patients report significant improvements after just a few sessions — a result that traditional antidepressants can take weeks or months to achieve.

Peptide Therapy: The Longevity Frontier

Alongside their mental health offerings, Advanced Wellness and Pain has built a growing peptide therapy practice — tapping into what may be the most exciting frontier in longevity medicine. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that serve as biological messengers, directing the body’s healing, regeneration, and optimization processes.

For the health-optimizing Scottsdale resident, peptide therapy represents the next evolution beyond traditional wellness — targeted, science-driven, and administered under proper physician supervision. The difference between getting peptides from a compounding pharmacy online and receiving them from a clinic like Advanced Wellness and Pain is exactly the difference that matters.

Two Locations, One Standard of Care

Advanced Wellness and Pain operates from two Valley locations — Scottsdale at 5111 N. Scottsdale Road (Suite 105) and Gilbert at 2730 S. Val Vista Drive — serving patients across the metropolitan area.
