We are now offering rTMS in the Bronx! Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is covered by most of our insurance companies for patients that have depression and have failed to respond to or didn't tolerate antidepressant therapy. We are very excited about being able to offer this cutting edge therapy for depression and anticipate that this will become mainstream therapy for a number of neurological conditions as well!

Starting next week we'll be partnering with Contemporary Care to offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in our office in the Bronx. TMS is an exciting non-medication therapy FDA approved for the treatment of depression. Many insurance plans are covering it for this indication but there is promise for other indications as well. http://www.contemporarycare.net/
