Confirm appointments directly rather than treating this page as evidence of a clinic in town.

Many typical treatment courses involve weekday sessions over several weeks. Ask for the actual proposed schedule before adjusting shifts, arranging childcare, or asking family members for help. Individualized protocols may follow a different pattern. It is useful to know whether the initial evaluation and setup take longer than later visits, and how scheduling interruptions are handled.

Bring the whole treatment picture

When depression has not improved with medication, therapy, or other care, a consultation can help you explore whether TMS is a reasonable next option. TMS uses magnetic pulses and is noninvasive; treatment is typically given while you are awake. A clinician determines suitability after reviewing your history and current condition.

Prepare a short record of previous treatments, benefits, side effects, and ongoing medications. Ask how the TMS team would coordinate with your existing mental health clinician and how improvement—or a lack of improvement—would be assessed during the course. Do not change medications on your own to prepare for treatment.

Clarify the next steps

Safety questions should include how the office screens for seizures, implanted devices, and metal in or near the head. Ask what side effects may occur, what hearing protection is used, and how to report concerns between appointments.

On insurance, find out whether authorization must be completed before treatment starts, who submits the documentation, and whether your prior treatment records are sufficient. Verify network participation for the actual treatment location and ask for an explanation of any patient responsibility before reorganizing your work and family schedule.
