Dr. Boris Heifets is a board-certified anesthesiologist at Stanford Medical School who specializes in providing anesthesia for neurological surgery.
In addition to treating patients, Dr. Heifets’ research group studies how new rapid-acting psychiatric therapies like ketamine, MDMA and psilocybin produce lasting changes in nervous system function, behavior and therapeutic outcomes.
He is also featured in a recent article in Scientific American magazine in which he explores the question "Is a Drug Even Needed to Induce a Psychedelic Experience?"
