Meet TMS specialists.
Precision medicine for
neural health.
A magnetic coil held against the scalp sends focused pulses into the prefrontal cortex — the region that regulates mood — and gradually reactivates circuits that depression has left underactive.
-
Targeted, not systemic
Unlike medication, TMS acts on specific circuits, so whole-body side effects are rare.
-
No anesthesia, no downtime
You stay awake in a chair and can drive yourself home afterwards.
-
FDA-cleared since 2008
Cleared for major depression, later for OCD (2018) and smoking cessation (2020).
