What is TMS?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation uses strong, magnetic pulses distributed through a coil to regulate the neural activity of brain structures associated with depression.

No Systemic Side Effects

While you may feel slight pressure on top of your head, most patients adapt to the sensation after a couple of sessions.

21 Day Difference

An analysis of 1,753 patients showed that the average patient achieved a sustained response after just 16 treatments.

Highly Effective

About 82% of patients who complete a full course of TMS show a clinically meaningful response and about 65% experience a full remission, meaning their symptoms go away completely.

Fits in Your Schedule

Sessions are about 20 minutes and you can drive to and from your appointments. The full course covered by insurance usually takes about 6-8 weeks to complete.

Covered by Insurance

All major payers cover TMS treatment for Depression. If you've tried multiple antidepressants and therapy, there's a good chance your insurance covers it.

What others are saying

Great Experiences

I have had all great experiences here.

While I’m certainly not happy to need treatment for depression, this is certainly helping to make the best of the situation. I also feel validated and genuinely cared for by everyone who works there

Dr. Stoddard was Reassuring

I went through 6 Psychiatrists before Dr. Stoddard. One of them fired me for being too bad of a case and another told me I was never going to get better. Dr. Stoddard reassured me he was going to get me better and he would not quit on me....He saved my life!!!

- Dave

Very Active Involvement

My daughter is yet to enter this practice and involvement with it has been by me as her authorized parent. I have received exceptional response from staff to date even not formally registered as active patient.
