Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
TMS is a non-invasive FDA approved medical procedure used to help treat depression.
We use a small device placed over the scalp that delivers brief magnetic fields with the same type and strength as those used in MRI machines, so that we can stimulate the brain.
The TMS pulses stimulate the brain without surgery, anesthesia or sedation. Patients remain awake and alert and may return to work or daily routines following each treatment.

Schedule Appointments
Your final step is to schedule your appointments. Every session after the initial mapping session could last between 15 to 30 minutes max. Depending on your treatment plan frequency, is how often you should schedule.
