Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is TMS therapy and how is it performed at your South Tampa location?
TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. At our clinic at 3333 W Kennedy Blvd #106, you will sit comfortably in a chair while a magnetic coil is gently placed against your scalp. The treatment is administered in our office under the supervision of our trained clinical team, with each session lasting approximately 20-30 minutes.
2. Who is a good candidate for TMS therapy at your Tampa practice?
Ideal candidates are adults who have been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and have not experienced satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication. Dr. Melissa Fickey conducts a thorough evaluation at our Tampa office to determine if TMS is an appropriate and potentially beneficial treatment option for each individual.
3. How long does a typical TMS treatment course last at your Kennedy Blvd clinic?
A typical treatment course involves sessions five days a week for an average of six weeks, all conducted on-site at our South Tampa location. The total number of treatments can vary based on individual response and is carefully monitored by Dr. Fickey throughout the process to ensure optimal outcomes.
