Many people try TMS when other treatment methods do not work. It can be a life-changing experience, with two-thirds of people achieving complete remission after treatment. But it is important to note that the TMS experience does not work for everyone.

Our psychiatrists play a leading role in our admissions procedure, providing an in-depth assessment of each client's condition. They work with psychologists and other professionals to design an individualized treatment plan that matches the client's unique needs. They are also responsible for medication management throughout the treatment experience.
Most insurance plans will also cover TMS under certain conditions, especially as a treatment for depression. GIA Miami can work with insurance companies to determine the level of coverage and handle any necessary paperwork.
Part of our admissions process involves a psychiatric evaluation, where a licensed psychiatrist offers a diagnosis of mental health concerns. During a psychiatric evaluation, we perform a non-invasive neurological examination and ask about any medication taken and any history of substance abuse. The process should take just under an hour.
At GIA Miami, we understand that some people need urgent care. We make sure our admissions process is as smooth and easy as possible so that you can see the medical experts you need without having to wait for a prolonged period.
As a method of treating depression symptoms, TMS is cost-effective for those with health insurance. Most people with medical insurance coverage will be able to get the majority of the cost covered, which decreases the overall price.
Depending on an individual's income, some people will be able to afford TMS therapy without insurance coverage.
Every client is different. Some clients may notice small changes in a standard course of TMS after one to two weeks (5 - 10 sessions), while others start to see improvements in the fourth or fifth week (20 - 25 sessions). It's recommended that clients complete an entire course of treatment regardless of when they first see improvements.
