NOW OFFERING NeuroStar® Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy
Depression is a debilitating illness that affects over 14 million Americans.
While antidepressant medication can be helpful in managing the symptoms of depression, clinical studies suggest that an estimated 4 million patients do not satisfactorily respond to antidepressant medications.
NeuroStar® TMS Therapy is a non-invasive, non-drug, safe, and effective treatment for patients with depression who are unsatisfied with the results of antidepressant medication.
It uses a precise magnetic pulse to stimulate the left prefrontal cortex of the brain, an area thought to be associated with mood.
NeuroStar® TMS Therapy has been FDA-approved since 2008 and is backed with the most clinical research in TMS for depression.
Proven Efficacy
- Consistent response and remission rates across multiple studies
- 1 in 2 patients respond

Established Safety
- During studies, less than 5% of participants discontinued treatment due to adverse events
- TMS Therapy avoids the systemic side effects typically associated with oral medications
- No reported adverse effects on cognition or sleep

This first session lasts approximately 1 hour as I will map out the brain to target the correct treatment location and stimulation strength to achieve maximum results.
