If you’re considering TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) therapy for depression or OCD in the Denver area, experience matters.
The doctors and staff at TMS Center of Colorado were the first to offer TMS in Colorado. We were the first to offer Brainsway Deep TMS, a more powerful treatment compared with standard TMS that enables that magnetic pulse to reach deeper into the brain. These deeper (limbic) areas of the brain impact mood regulation and motivation, which are commonly negatively affected in patients who are depressed. We were also the first in Colorado to offer the Accelerated TMS Protocol.
TMS treatment is safe, and FDA cleared to treat depression and/or OCD. It is used off-label to treat other disorders, such as general anxiety disorder, migraines and to assist with smoking cessation.
TMS was initially recommended for patients who were resistant to medication. However, it is now also a preferred option for those who do not wish to be on antidepressants and experience their possible side effects such as weight gain, loss of sleep, lessened libido or fogged thinking.
Accelerated TMS is a more intensive form of TMS therapy, characterized by 10 treatments per day over a 5-day period. Compared to standard TMS, Accelerated TMS achieves a higher remission rate (up to 90% versus up to 78%) in a shorter period of time (1-2 weeks versus 6-8 weeks). This treatment is well tolerated by patients and safe. If you have questions about Accelerated TMS, please call us!
Many TMS treatments are covered by insurance and cost about the same. Why not choose the center that offers the greatest amount of experience and a more powerful Deep TMS system? Doing so can improve your overall results and save you time. For your convenience, we offer the same Brainsway Deep TMS at both our Denver and Lakewood, Colorado offices.
We also offer the expertise of 5 compassionate, caring psychiatrists who are highly experienced in evaluating patients for TMS therapy and supervising their treatment. You can learn more about our doctors by clicking here.
I cannot think of much in the way of improving the experience. Found it to be very friendly, personable, and professional. I found everyone here very enjoyable and genuinely interested and concerned in my progress and general well-being. It was a very positive experience and I found the treatment itself to be quite helpful in improving my day to day life.”
I had tried different medication for years before TMS. I still struggled to get out of bed every day. After TMS, I feel like I can take care of myself. I’ve been able to enjoy spending time with the people I love again.
All the staff were extremely kind and helpful and they were willing to go above and beyond to accommodate me. I feel so much more like myself again because of TMS.
TMS works. It has alleviated my clinical depression. I am grateful I found TMS.
Found staff & Dr. Richardson exceptionally professional & empathetic. TMS helped me with my depression and feel now, after treatment, more engaged in the world.
When I first started TMS I was hopeful, but still very skeptical. I’ve struggled with depression for over 20 years and have had some reprieves throughout but have always relied on medication to get me to a baseline where I felt moderately functional. After years of increasing dosage and trying new medications I found myself still falling into deep depressions, I was starting to feel more and more hopeless. I first heard about TMS several years ago and thought there was no way that magnetic stimulation could help where chemicals and years of therapy couldn’t. But as years went by and my depression worsened I began having personal encounters with people who had great success with TMS and finally became open to trying it. I’m so grateful that I ended up at TMS Center of Colorado. At first I was worried because I didn’t notice improvement but a little more than halfway through things started to change. After that point I felt improvements continue as treatment progressed, feelings of hopelessness began to disappear, my energy increased, I became more interested in people and things that I enjoy, my focus improved! I don’t know if the changes are permanent or not, but even if they are relatively short lived it is all worth it to me because I feel better than I ever have.
As I wrote in the thank you cards, I am grateful for TMS. I had always felt that my future would be better but now I know it’s achievable! My head is less clouded with negative, disruptive thoughts–it’s like the headset vacuumed them away. My brain is lighter, life’s challenges are easier and I’m enjoying being with people again. It has been a long time since I’ve felt this free.
I was hopeful but skeptical about this process but the team at TMS Center of Colorado were very helpful in making sure I understood the process and was comfortable. They dealt with my insurance company and really made this an easy process. In the end I am glad I did this because I feel a lot better and more in control of depression.
I embarked on this journey not knowing the outcome with a level of fear and apprehension. I do believe this treatment modality was effective as I feel a great sense of calm, with more focus and interest in engaging life.
I am amazed at how well I feel after my TMS therapy. The staff at TMS Center of Colorado are helpful and knowledgeable, and the environment is very comfortable. I cannot recommend them enough.”
I recommend TMS Center of Colorado for TMS therapy. They provide a comfortable atmosphere with friendly and insightful staff and doctors. The appointment scheduling process was flexible and accommodating, a great help for working with work schedules.
I travelled quite a distance to spend a week at the center. Was pleasantly surprised. Facilities were great, staff outstanding, treatment successful. An excellent investment of time and energy.
I had a very bad experience at another TMS facility. This left me feeling like I had no say in my treatment or comfort. I called the TMS Center of Colorado in Denver soon after my relationship with the other TMS place was terminated. The tech answered and I immediately felt hopeful again. The tech was caring plus listened to me on the phone and went out of their way to give me useful information to help me get started. The staff blew me away. They were polite, professional, and genuinely cared. It was such an improved experience when I was at a very low point. Thank you TMS Center of Colorado!!
I came to TMS Center of Colorado for severe depression. Medications and therapy did not work for me for over five years. I am now, after completing dTMS, in a much better place than where I started. I got significantly better results with dTMS than I ever did with medication.”
I feel supported and cared for here. I have had a great experience and will definitely return should I need any more treatments. I also feel wonderful and I’m looking at life with a much more positive and uplifting attitude. Thanks to the entire team.
I am very pleased and happy with the TMS Center of Colorado. I feel the Center and staff were very professional, caring, and very willing to educate me on the treatments as I continued. When I came to the TMS Center of Colorado, I was so very depressed. I was in a deep dark place, so alone in my feelings and l had fearful feelings. What a success! I feel lifted of the burden. The peace of mind is wonderful. For all the poor people who suffer this awful disease, I hope you have the chance to get TMS treatment. I am very pleased. The staff and Dr. Wirecki are wonderful, professional, and they care about you!”
Ameryst and Lindsey are very kind and competent. Made sure I was safe and comfortable. Plus they are just plain nice.
The staff is there to take care of you. They truly do care about your progress. They check in often to make sure you’re physically, mentally, and emotionally supported.
It is a shame that people suffering with major depressive episodes may not have access to TMS. That’s why I feel so fortunate to have found a provider like the TMS Center of Colorado. From my initial assessment zoom meeting with Dr. Weiner, to the first visit to determine thresholds and be introduced to the center, to the first day of treatment, all the way through to the end of a rather grueling week, I was made to feel comfortable, asked often how I was fairing, and made to feel welcomed into what for most people is a strange and frightening atmosphere. It is impossible to stay afraid after one day. The routine nature of the treatment and the comfort of the staff quickly becomes familiar. And, I feel so much better after just a week of treatments. The week seems daunting at the beginning, ten treatments over ten hours for five days. That would scare anyone! But it is such a calm and peaceful atmosphere that has been created for the patients. I recommend this center for anyone seeking TMS and I would welcome anyone who is hesitant to allow me to share my experience with them.
