TMS evaluations with board-certified neurologist Laura Desadier, DO.
Understanding TMS
Magnetic stimulation.
Individual consideration.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, is a noninvasive procedure that uses a coil placed near the scalp to deliver magnetic pulses to targeted areas of the brain.
Peaceful Promise uses a Brain Ultimate TMS system. Dr. Desadier is board certified in neurology by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and completed fellowship training in TMS at Duke.
A consultation is the first step. The clinician reviews your history and explains the proposed treatment, potential benefits, risks and alternatives. Clinical suitability and payment or coverage arrangements are separate decisions.
