I was really skeptical about TMS when I first started it. But now that I’ve been doing it for over a month, I’m feeling such a relief from my depression and anxiety. I tried all the meds and they either didn’t work or I’d have to keep going up on my doses. I was ready to try something new so I decided to try the TMS and I can’t believe what a difference it’s made. My anxiety is almost non existent and my depression is barely there. I feel so much lighter and happier and excited about what life has to offer me. I’m looking forward to my future and seeing where my journey takes me from her with this new outlook on life. If you suffer from treatment resistant depression like I did, definitely look into TMS. Also the doctor and the staff are amazing and I’m so thankful for them.

I would highly recommend Dr. G. , she is very passionate about what she does with TMS. She’s very understanding & explains everything to you in great detail. TMS has helped me , I feel more energized to do things I haven’t for awhile. A big shout out to Maddie she has made every morning a positive experience. 😊

Wish I could give Dr. G 10 stars! She is truly there for her patients. My first visit with her was so much easier than I expected. She was so kind, the best listener and genuinely wanted to hear your personal story and help. I had researched TMS and after trying many antidepressants, I was praying I would be a candidate for the TMS treatment. I’m a little over halfway through my treatment and I already feel so much better.. I know this doctor will do her best to keep me moving forward . She’s a gem and a gift!

TMS treatment has really given me hope for the first time in a long time. Dr. Gonzalez really took the time to get to understand and compassionately dissect my unique situation to form the best treatment plan for me. The staff here really help to make each session special with their kind words and genuine empathy. This experience has been life changing and I would really like to thank all the staff involved for making this a great experience where I feel heard and cared about. After a few session I am beginning to notice some small changes in myself for the better and am very optimistic.

TMS therapy involves the use of very short pulses of magnetic energy to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. ... The short pulses of magnetic energy produced by TMS therapy system are aimed by the treating clinician at the structures in the brain thought to control mood.
In many cases a 4-6 week treatment regimen will provide remission that lasts for about six months or longer. Occasional TMS maintenance sessions are sometimes needed to prolong remission. Some patients may be placed on a post-TMS schedule of one session per month for a specified period of time.
Most TMS providers find that TMS has a success rate at between 70% or 80%, meaning that the vast majority of individuals find significant relief after treatment. About 50% of people experience complete remission, meaning that the symptoms of depression are feeling better.

In fact, the more resistant the patient is to medication, the more significant the effects of TMS treatment. “…the effects appear durable” up to 16 weeks. While 16 weeks is a significant stretch of time, TMS has been proven effective for up to a year.
TMS does not lead to memory difficulties or other impairments in thinking. It does not change a person's personality, though when patients experience relief from symptoms of the depression, their ability to think and function typically improves.
Some studies have shown that when used for depression, TMS causes increased anxiety. ... However, there is not evidence that TMS makes anxiety worse for most patients. In our experience of treating hundreds of patients at Mid City TMS, only a very small percentage of patients have reported worsened anxiety.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression.
Patients with Health Insurance If a patient has tried at least four different antidepressant medications in the past, and does not also have a diagnosis of bipolar disorder or psychosis, then they will usually be considered eligible to have their TMS therapy fully covered by their insurance company.
Historically, TMS was initially so expensive for a number of reasons. First, the cost of the machine was so exorbitant that most doctors could not afford to treat people for cheaper. Secondly, the first devices available to the public would charge the doctors
