How to find the best TMS therapy clinic near you?


We will discuss the main factors that make a TMS clinic good quality. Then, we will discuss finding and locating TMS clinics near you in Tampa, Florida. Lastly, I will list all TMS clinics and rank them to compare to each other.


The Five Pillars For The Ultimate TMS Center Of Excellence:



#1 TMS Doctor

We always advise our patients to know who their TMS doctor is. You should also know how involved the TMS doctor will be in providing your TMS therapy. In other words, you need a TMS doctor who is hands-on in managing, supervising, and adjusting your particular TMS treatment protocol.



#2 TMS Technology

Well, that's a self-explanatory one. Because a TMS machine delivers TMS treatment, you want to ensure that your treatment is delivered via a high-quality FDA-approved TMS device. Not all TMS devices are created equal. For example, Florida TMS Clinic uses one of the most advanced 3D Navigated TMS technology which helps us make sure that every single pulse is delivered precisely where it was planned. This Navigation TMS technology is not available anywhere else in the Tampa Bay area. That doesn't mean that other TMS machines are not effective. They are also effective; otherwise, they would not be cleared by the FDA. It just means that there is always a good option and a better option. Why would you settle for anything less than the best if you had the choice?



#3 TMS Staff

This is a big one. Your TMS treatment sessions are going to be delivered by your TMS therapist. You're going to see this person daily for six weeks. You want to make sure that you're comfortable and happy with this person. You also want to ensure that the TMS psychiatrist will train this TMS therapist to use that particular TMS device. Let me give you another example of what Florida TMS Clinic does. All of our TMS therapists are certified by the TMS device manufacturer. All of our TMS therapists are BLS certified. And despite their excellent experience in delivering TMS therapy, they are still always supervised by the physician who supervises their performance via the navigation system and video cameras. All staff undergoes a quarterly evaluation to demonstrate their knowledge of TMS therapy’s most up-to-date knowledge and advances.



#4 TMS Insurance Specialist

The TMS insurance specialist is the person who presents your case to your health insurance to get your TMS therapy prior-authorized or pre-approved. The TMS insurance specialist needs to be very knowledgeable and detail-oriented; otherwise, your insurance may deny your TMS prior-authorization. This could mean a significant delay in your TMS therapy. Florida TMS Clinic has a meager rate of denials from insurance. When insurance denies a TMS case, it's almost always for an illegitimate reason as we only request prior-authorization for fully qualifying patients. Our doctor always takes the case peer-to-peer. If a peer-to-peer review doesn't turn around the denial, the doctor will take it to the appeal level. The only time we will stop is when the patient does not want us to proceed further. Otherwise, we always fight for the patient to get their TMS approved.



#5 TMS Cost

The good news is that almost all insurances cover TMS therapy costs. But not everybody has insurance. We still have patients who pay out-of-pocket for their TMS treatment. The cost of TMS therapy could be prohibitive for some. For this reason, Florida TMS Clinic offers a reasonable rate to uninsured patients. Speaking of cost, you need to know about the cost of TMS “add-on” treatments. You see, the FDA-approved protocol targets the left side of the brain, which is used for depression. Often, patients will have depression and anxiety at the same time. These patients with co-occurring anxiety might need an “add-on” treatment protocol targeting the right brain. This means using an extra treatment session every day. Most TMS clinics charge extra for this extra time on the chair. Florida TMS Clinic doesn’t charge additional fees for “add-on” treatments. It is complimentary.


Now that you know how to evaluate TMS clinics in your area let’s list all the TMS clinics providing TMS Therapy in the Tampa Bay area.

How Long Does TMS Last? | Does Maintenance TMS Help?
By Khaled Bowarshi 04 Feb, 2024
Maintenance TMS: How Long Does TMS Last? | Does Maintenance TMS Help? | Depression Relapse After TMS Therapy. What To Do Next? The benefits of TMS therapy can last for a long time. Durability is the terminology we use for how long a certain treatment effect lasts. A couple of durability papers showed that two-thirds of patients kept the effect of TMS therapy for 6-12 months after the treatment. We don’t have good published data on the long-term durability of TMS beyond 12 months. But from anecdotal observation of our patients, those who make it beyond a year without recurrence of depression symptoms remain well for years and may never need TMS retreatment. Those who relapse early may need retreatment and a plan of maintenance and prevention of relapse. Please note that each case is unique, and our general answers might not apply to you and your specific circumstance. With that disclosure being said, let's be specific with the answer now.

SAINT Depression Treatment
By Khaled Bowarshi 01 Mar, 2023
[2023 update] SAINT/SNT is the biggest breakthrough in neuromodulation to date. That being said, The 90% success rate thrown around in the media is too good to be true. A better report should be ~70% response rate and ~50% remission rate after a month. We are not yet sure we need individualized neuroimaging to get the efficacy of aiTBS. We are not very confident about the long-term durability of SAINT, especially for those with previous failed TMS. And lastly, we can’t really give a blanket statement that SAINT is superior to conventional rTMS, but for sure, we can recognize that SAINT is a significantly more practical solution for many.
TMS Therapy For Insomnia & Sleep Disorders
By Khaled Bowarshi 17 Jul, 2021
~ 5 MIN READ This article will discuss the use of TMS therapy or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in treating insomnia and other sleep disorder. The neuromodulatory technique rTMS is a treatment method approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for patients with major depressive disorder that has not responded to antidepressant medication. The device utilizes magnetic fields to generate localized electrical currents in neurons just a few centimeters below the scalp, creating depolarizing and normalizing effects. Localized brain stimulation impacts neural plasticity, activates compensatory processes, and influences cortical excitability. Additionally, rTMS has been used in various clinical trials to study and treat neurological and psychiatric disorders such as anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), epilepsy. Several studies have found that Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) can benefit inefficiency and sleep quality.
