Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is one of the best treatments for Treatment Resistant Depression or TRD. Considering how safe and tolerable TMS is compared to other options, TMS is arguably the best treatment for Treatment Resistant Depression. If you live in the Tampa Bay area you might wonder which clinic is the best for you. We made a list of the top 10 reason why we think we provide the best TMS in Tampa.

1. The Most Advanced TMS Technology in 2020

Florida TMS Clinic uses the latest 3D navigation TMS system approved by the FDA in May of 2019. Navigated TMS tracks the coil position in relation to the patient’s head assuring the best accuracy in treatment location. Other TMS clinics use outdated TMS systems made in 2008. Florida TMS Clinic is 12 years ahead in the medical technology we use.

2. Theta Burst Stimulation

In addition to the conventional Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation widely known to require 19 minutes per session, Florida TMS Clinic also uses intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation. This TMS technology allows for better time efficient delivery of the treatment in as short as 3 minutes per session. 

3. Accelerated TMS

With accelerated TMS protocol, patients can have multiple sessions a day (up to 10 sessions) shortening the duration of the treatment to 5 days only. This novel treatment protocol comes from Stanford University. It requires the above technology of Theta Burst Stimulation. Florida TMS Clinic is the only TMS clinic to offer Accelerated TMS in Florida !

4. Double Board-Certified Psychiatrist

At Florida TMS Clinic, you will be seen by Dr. Bowarshi is an M.D. who has extensive training and board certifications in Medicine and Psychiatry and received his TMS training at Duke. Many psychiatric clinics in Tampa Bay area are staffed by “mid-level clinicians”. This means ARNP, PA, DNP. These titles stand for nurse practitioner, physicians assistants! We offer the highest level of care to our patients. No “midlevel” care is accepted at Florida TMS Clinic. 

5. Supportive Professional Staff

Florida TMS Clinic is very proud of the compassionate care provided by the staff members. From the moment you call to the last day of your TMS therapy. You become a member of our family for life. All our staff members are invested in the well-being of every single patient we treat.

7. Affordable Private Pay Fee Schedule

TMS is a covered benefit by most major insurance plans. Florida TMS Clinic accepts all major commercial insurances. This includes United, Blue, Aetna, Cigna, Humana and Medicare. More importantly, we provide an aggressively discounted fee schedule for private pay patients. From day one, our vision was to make TMS practical and affordable. Unlike most other clinics in the united states we have a transparent fee schedule.

8. No Hidden Fee

When we say free consultation, we mean a free consultation! This is a full evaluation by a psychiatrist completely free of charge. We DON’T charge for add-ons. Sometimes we add TMS treatment to the right side to help with anxiety. We don’t charge extra for that. Other clinics charge $200-$300 extra per session for anxiety treatment even when insurance is covering the cost of the depression treatment . 

9. Flexible Scheduling

We work with our patients to accommodate their work and personal life schedule. I a matter of fact, we are receiving our second TMS chair in March of 2020 to give the maximum flexibility to our patients. We call our waiting room a lobby as our goal for no one to wait. 

10. Easy Access to I-75

We chose our location wisely. We are at the heart of the fastest growing neighborhood in Tampa Bay, Wesley Chapel. We are 2 minutes away from SR-56 and I-75. This puts us in a 35-minute driving radius from almost everywhere in Tampa.
