If you’re considering TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) therapy for depression or OCD in the Denver, Lakewood or Cherry Creek 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.
You have a choice when it comes to where to have your TMS therapy. Here’s why to consider choosing us:
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 our Denver, Lakewood and Cherry Creek, 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.
Great team! Dr. Menninger was very attentive and makes sure that you feel supported throughout treatment. All of the techs – Ameryst, Lindsey, and others were very professional and compassionate as well. TMS definitely helped significantly reduce my symptoms and they’re very accommodating with scheduling as well. Don’t hesitate to seek treatment through TMS Center of Colorado.
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.”
This is the best experience with TMS that I have had. I’ve had it three times before in my life. This office is very precise, and always attentive.
I’ve had a great experience at TMS Center of Colorado. The technicians are very skilled at what they do and also sensitive and kind. They were willing to respond to my concerns and offer reassurance and encouragement. They always tried to make me physically comfortable. Dr. Wirecki checked in with me often, stayed for part of my sessions, and offered several private conversations.”
All of the technicians and also Dr. Wirecki have all been very professional, concerned, and you can tell they all care. My experience was overall positive and I would recommend this center to anyone as an alternative option choice for [major depressive disorder] treatment.”
The TMS Center of Colorado has an amazing staff and is a super comfortable environment! I have been through years of depression treatment as well as many medications, but nothing worked. I turned to TMS as a last hope and it had a huge payout. Part way through my treatment I walked outside and was able to just soak in the moment of feeling the joy of the sun on my face, I hadn’t felt that joy for years. I have much more hope that with some therapy to help adjust to such a large drop in depression, that I will be able to move on and live again as myself for the first time in a long time. Could not recommend this particular center more if I tried.
The staff at TMS Center of Colorado is awesome! They went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and accommodate my scheduling needs.
TMS might not be a treatment that you have heard of, especially with the most popular treatment of depression, antidepressant medications, being in the common parlance, but if you or a loved one is struggling with depression, you owe it to yourselves to investigate TMS as a first step of treatment. That it is non-invasive and covered by some insurances is a wonder for treating depression: it is exactly the shift in weather that clears the black clouds of depression in one’s mind.
This treatment changed my life. My marriage and energy have improved. I have never known what it was to NOT be depressed. Now I know!
Seven months ago I was so depressed I wasn’t able to function. After the six weeks of TMS Therapy I was back to work; I was feeling great; I was enjoying my kids again and I had my life back.”
TMS works. It has alleviated my clinical depression. I am grateful I found TMS.
After years of trial and error with various medications and therapies, I knew it was time to step out and try something new. Although skeptical at first, due to continuous failure with other treatments, I could not be more grateful now for the improvements TMS has made in my life. I struggled with an unbearable amount of anxiety, depression, and mood swings for most of my adult life, but TMS has gradually alleviated all of these. With just a few months of treatment, I have begun to find my happiness and health again. Thank you so much for that.”
I have not felt this good since I was in high school. I can find joy in the simple things in life and am no longer afraid to get out of bed in the morning. I am hopeful about my future.”
This treatment took me from a very bad state of depression and helped me to come out of it and have more joy in my everyday life.
I was skeptical at first. I gradually got back to feeling human. At Christmas, my family commented it was the best in 20 years. At 7 treatments left, my mother died. I handled it real good and finished my treatment after 3 weeks off. I would recommend TMS for depression to get better.”
Dr. Richardson was very thorough in her initial assessment and every weekly meeting during my treatment. She was very nice and answered any questions I had about my treatment. The technicians were all very nice as well and made me feel comfortable during my treatment. I enjoyed being able to listen to music during my treatments and overall had a very positive experience with all of the staff here.
TMS is an incredible tool in the toolbox of mental wellness. Though at times it may seem daunting, the progress I was able to make was incredible and I am so incredibly grateful to have TMS Center of Colorado available.
I noticed a huge improvement in my quality of sleep after the first week of treatment. I have nothing but good things to say about TMS. I wish I would have known about it sooner.
TMS therapy has been life changing for me. My depression and anxiety are much better and I feel calm. The staff are great. They care about your comfort and are attentive!!
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.
