No referral necessary. You can call us directly at 617.916.5069 and we will be able to schedule a free TMS Evaluation, help answer questions about the treatment, and determine which location is most convenient for you.

There are no lasting side effects associated with TMS. During the first week or two of treatment, some patients report mild scalp discomfort or a mild headache. These symptoms normally subside after the first couple treatment sessions and patients are allowed to take common headache medication (NSAIDS) to aleiviate any headache pain. There is a less than 1% risk of seizure.

TMS is not like ECT. ECT requires sedation, induces a seizure and is often associated with side effects such as memory loss. TMS, however, is non-invasive and uses MRI-like magnetic pulses to facilitate neuronal activity. Unlike ECT, TMS patients are awake during treatment and can drive themself home or to work after their session.

Of course! For patients that do not have reliable transportation, we offer complementary rides to and from your sessions through Uber Health, a nonemergency medical transportation platform where the rider calls you when they’re ready to pick you up.
