STEP INTO THE LIGHT AND OUT OF YOUR VORTEX

Vortex Psychiatry is a forward-thinking specialty clinic that uses Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to provide effective, non-pharmaceutical treatment for mental health conditions. TMS is leading the field in treating patients who have depression and other mental health problems, as well as conditions affecting the nervous system.

Medical Director Said A. Ibrahimi, M.D., leads a team passionate about helping patients who are experiencing some of the most debilitating mood disorders using innovative approaches with proven benefits.

Mental health and neuropathic conditions can be challenging to treat, as patient responses to treatments can vary so dramatically. Many patients find little or no relief even after trying multiple forms of medication, but TMS gets to the root of the problem by focusing on the areas of the brain from which these conditions arise. Using state-of-the-art technology to administer painless and safe therapies. The team at Vortex Psychiatry, can precisely stimulate the right parts of the brain to restore function, improve blood flow, and reduce symptoms. You will meet highly qualified staff that excels at their roles and has a sincere desire to improve the lives of their many grateful patients. We will do everything possible to ensure your privacy, comfort, and most importantly, your safety and wellness.

TREATMENT COURSE

The FDA recommended treatment for depression is 20-36 sessions usually performed 5 days a week. It is a noninvasive outpatient procedure, usually 20-35 minutes in length, that is pre-scheduled with no restriction on activities including driving before and after the treatment. The first session, known as the Motor threshold (MT), lasts approximately 1 hour. Please expect daily appointment last at least 30-45 minutes. This includes check in and out of appointment.
