Benjamin Illum, MD

Benjamin Illum, MD, is an anesthesiologist and physician serving patients at Dreamscape Ketamine and Wellness, a ketamine clinic located in San Diego, California. 

Dr. Illum has a deep understanding of the pharmacology and administration of ketamine, which he developed over ten years as an anesthesiologist and intensive care physician.
