One of my great joys as a psychiatrist is the ability to collaborate with excellent colleagues. Irfan Handoo, M.D., of Kansas City Psychiatric Partners, is one such human.
In this interview, we learn about how Dr. Handoo went from psychopharmacologist to interventional psychiatrist, why Kansas City is the best city in the world, and why being South Asian is the ultimate hack to get your patients the best care. It's really easy to think of doctors being completely burned out, and not caring about their patients. Being a physician is a tremendously challenging thing to do with one’s time, and many doctors have their compassion wear thin. This interview with Dr Handoo reminded me how much some of us care, all day, every day. He's an inspiration to me, and I hope, to my listeners also.
I am delighted to bring you this interview!

The Curious Case of Ketamine: Is Less Often More Effective?
Dr. Irfan Handoo is a brilliant physician who lives in Kansas City. He works very hard. He's dedicated to his patients' well-being to a degree might boggle the imagination of most. I've been pleased to know Irfan for several years, and we've worked together on at six publications already. I wasn't ready for my colleague upending my understanding of how IV Ketamine should be delivered.
Thanks for reading and listening!
