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.
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.
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.
The TMS Center of Colorado staff were always very helpful and supportive, and the results received from the TMS were life changing.
Greatly appreciated personable and professional TMS staff. Very helpful calming my first-treatment nerves, and dealt efficaciously with insurance – and mine was a bear! Thank you so much! Thrilled with my experience at TMS Center of Colorado.
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.”
The TMS Center team is extraordinarily kind and supportive. They made my accelerated course of treatment fly by. Highly recommend.
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 has greatly improved my quality of life. I cannot believe the change it has had and I feel relief that I didn’t think was possible. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a different way to ease their OCD.
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!!
TMS has provided some much needed relief from pervasive symptoms of depression no other treatment has been able to achieve. Highly recommend!
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 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.
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 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 really very much appreciate the techs and Dr. Barucha! Dr. Barucha was very encouraging and kind and I really enjoyed working with her. She truly cared how I was doing and made sure to include me in the decision making when it came to my treatments. I am very grateful to have gotten to work with her.
TMS Center of Colorado is an exceptional place. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Dr. Menninger is also a wonderful doctor. I highly recommend this place!
All the staff were very kind and accommodating – especially Dr. Menninger, Kate, Cameron, Misty and Beatrice. I appreciate that they took the time to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. Thank you to all of the staff! I appreciated the care provided by all 6 of the staff that provided my treatment. All the staff were so kind and checked to make sure I was comfortable during each treatment session. The accelerated treatment is such a gift – especially if you have a career/job that makes it hard to get away daily or have to travel to have access to TMS. I highly recommend TMS Center of Colorado!
Greatly enjoyed my experience and would recommend others to give it a shot.
I had been opposed to TMS initially due to an irrational fear of it impacting my cognitive capacity, but I had become so hopeless from my depression that I needed to try everything available, notwithstanding my fears. I am so grateful that I did! TMS has helped my brain and my depression. What is most noticeable is that my brain has stopped its endless soundtracks of negative, self-defeating thoughts. Thank you for giving me more peace. It was a joy working with everyone at the center, and I will miss it.”
