NeuroStar TMS stands for “Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation”. TMS is a medical procedure that works by delivering highly focused MRI-strength magnetic pulses to noninvasively (without surgery) stimulate the brain and treat major depression. This magnetic field stimulate the neurons and show depression symptom relief. Patients being treated with TMS do not require anesthesia or sedation.
We are excited to be able to offer this treatment and participate in most insurance plans to reduce costs for our patients. Most patients will pay less for their care than the cost of psychiatric medications.
