Dr. Self has well over ten years of experience working in the Volusia County area as a ICU and Advanced Practice nurse. Dr. Self is a lifelong Volusia County resident and United States Army veteran. He graduated from Daytona Beach Community College with both AA and nursing degrees before heading to the University of Central Florida to obtain his Bachelors of Science in Nursing. After spending several years in the Trauma/Surgical ICU, Dr. Self returned to school at the University of North Florida where he obtained both a Masters of Science in Nursing-Nurse Anesthetist Program and Doctorate of Nursing Practice.

Because of Dr. Self’s strong ties to his hometown, offering treatment for depression and pain for Central Florida residents is one of his most important professional priorities. Dr. Self has said “depression can interfere with normal family dynamics, so providing ketamine treatment is crucial to return families back to a sense of normalcy and happiness”.
