You are seated in a comfortable chair throughout the approximately 20-minute session, and you can return to your normal routine immediately after.

While a referral from your primary care physician or psychiatrist can be helpful, it is not required to schedule a consultation at our Tampa office. You can contact us directly at (813) 662-5919 to speak with our team and book an appointment with Dr. Melissa Fickey to see if TMS is right for you.
3. Is TMS therapy covered by insurance at your clinic?
