Dr. Xinwei Liu, MD

Medical Director | Texas Ketamine & Wellness Center

Dr. Xinwei Liu is a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician and active member of the American Society of Ketamine Physicians (ASKP), with more than eight years of experience caring for critically ill patients in some of the busiest emergency departments across the country. He completed his residency training in Emergency Medicine at Kaiser Permanente in San Diego, where he developed not only advanced clinical skills but also a deep appreciation for the human side of medicine—helping patients through their most vulnerable and frightening moments.

Over the course of his career, Dr. Liu has worked in emergency rooms in California, Indiana, South Carolina, Arizona, and Texas, treating thousands of patients with life-threatening conditions. In the ER, he frequently encountered individuals in the midst of psychiatric crises—patients battling depression, anxiety, PTSD, or suicidal thoughts. Despite receiving traditional medications, many of these patients continued to suffer without meaningful relief. He has also encountered numerous patients with intractable pain conditions, including advanced stage cancer patients, sickle cell pain disese and fibromyalgia. Witnessing these struggles left a lasting impression and motivated Dr. Liu to search for better solutions.

It was through this work that he recognized the transformative potential of ketamine. As an emergency medicine physician, he has used ketamine daily in a variety of critical situations and is deeply familiar with its safety profile, reliability, and effectiveness. What began as a tool for procedural sedation and acute pain management in the ER has become, in Dr. Liu’s hands, a powerful treatment option to restore hope for patients facing conditions that have not responded to conventional therapies.

At Texas Ketamine & Wellness Center, Dr. Liu brings the same calm, steady presence that has reassured patients in emergency rooms for nearly a decade. He believes every patient deserves to feel safe, supported, and understood, and he takes time to explain treatment options and answer questions with empathy and clarity. His goal is to provide a medical environment where healing feels possible again—where patients are not defined by their diagnoses, but empowered by their progress.

Whether in the clinic or through concierge mobile services, Dr. Liu and his team are dedicated to making advanced ketamine therapy accessible, compassionate, and safe. His message to patients is simple: you are not alone, and with the right care, healing is within reach.
