START YOUR EVALUATION NOW
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-cleared, safe, non-invasive procedure used to help treat major depressive disorder in patients who have not received symptom relief from medication. It is also FDA-cleared as an adjunctive treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It is non-pharmacological and has no systemic side effects. There is no downtime with TMS; patients can drive themselves to their appointment and drive home immediately after. It works by safely affecting the brain's electrical signals, which is associated with long-term improvement.

Why TMS Therapy?
Medications do not work for everyone, and some people cannot tolerate their side effects. After a patient has had three failed antidepressant trials, the likelihood of achieving remission with additional medication trials is unfortunately only 10%. Luckily, TMS therapy is now available for treatment-resistant depression. TMS has also been shown to significantly improve Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder that has not adequately responded to medication or cognitive behavioral therapy.
