Physician-Led Treatment vs Health Coaching Model

The most significant difference between Discreet Ketamine and Nue Life is who manages your care. Discreet Ketamine is physician-led: Dr. Ben Soffer, DO, a board-certified physician, personally evaluates, prescribes, and manages your treatment from start to finish. Nue Life has historically used a model that emphasizes health coaching alongside medical prescribing, where ongoing support may come primarily from coaches rather than physicians.

• Discreet Ketamine: direct, ongoing care from a board-certified physician who knows your case
• Nue Life: health coaching model with medical prescribing, where day-to-day support may come from non-physician coaches
• Physician-led care allows for more nuanced clinical decisions about dosing and medication interactions
• A single physician relationship provides continuity that coaching rotations may not
• Board-certified physicians are trained to identify and manage medical complications if they arise

AI-Guided Sessions vs Standard At-Home Protocols

How you are supported during your actual ketamine sessions is another key differentiator. Discreet Ketamine provides KetAI, a proprietary AI session companion that monitors safety, guides breathing, and supports integration in real time. Nue Life offers its own session framework, but the level of real-time AI-driven guidance during sessions may differ.

• KetAI provides real-time safety monitoring and guided breathing during every session
• Post-session integration tools and journaling prompts help maximize therapeutic benefit
• One-tap "I Need Help" emergency contact feature during sessions
• Session data automatically shared with your physician for treatment optimization
• AI-driven insights help identify patterns in your treatment response over time

Cost and Accessibility

Cost is a meaningful consideration for patients choosing an at-home ketamine provider. Nue Life programs have typically been priced at a premium, particularly when including their full program packages with coaching and group experiences. Discreet Ketamine aims to provide high-quality physician-led care at a more accessible price point.

• Discreet Ketamine typically offers more affordable pricing while maintaining board-certified physician oversight
• No hidden costs for follow-up visits or medication adjustments
• Transparent pricing with medication and consultations included
• Nue Life programs may include additional coaching and group experiences that affect total cost
• Compare total treatment costs, not just per-session pricing, when evaluating providers

Local Medical Expertise in Florida and New Jersey

Discreet Ketamine is built around the local medical expertise of Dr. Ben Soffer, DO, who is licensed and practices in both Florida and New Jersey. This local focus means patients receive care from a physician with deep knowledge of state regulations, local healthcare resources, and the specific needs of patients in these communities.

• Licensed and practicing in both Florida and New Jersey
• Familiarity with local healthcare systems and referral networks for comprehensive care
• Understanding of state-specific regulations around ketamine prescribing and telehealth
• Ability to coordinate with your existing local healthcare providers
• Smaller patient panel allows for more attentive, responsive care
