I decided to give TMS a try after learning it was much safer than medication. After a few weeks of treatment I started noticing I was significantly calmer and relaxed on my drive home after each session. I find myself working now for longer periods of time without getting overwhelmed by stress as easily as I used to. Machine wasn’t loud, pleasant staff.

TMS has really helped me in recovering from depression and anxiety, I was at the lowest point of my life, I literally wanted to die to escape the pain. I would cry all day and when I tell you I cried ; I cried so hard I couldn’t breathe and this was everyday, all day…..I was even hospitalized at one point… in the psych ward. If you have depression or anxiety or both seek help, listen to the doctors , TMS and other procedures will help along with an anti-depressant , you just have to be patient and find what works for you. I’ve been on all the medications and nothing worked for the longest time so I kept looking and trying different meds. The point is to KEEP GOING ! It gets better I promise!

They are great people, they have they whole package. They offer group therapy, have a nutritionist come to group. They are are great people. My experience was one of great success. Ive even have stepped down on some of my medications for depression and anxiety. I would recommend them to everyone. You wont regret it.

Ive had treatment resistant depression and anxiety disorders since I can remember. I came to TMS Advantage desperate and in the middle of a crisis. Therapy itself was basically painless, but my anxiety was so severe that my first few weeks I could barely sit through my sessions. Karan and Ashley patiently helped me through. As I improved, Ashley was my consistent ray of sunshine and hope and I am forever grateful to her. I completed TMS therapy and my depression is basically gone and I am on the lowest dose of medication for my anxiety disorders. I was a skeptic, but now Im evidence this works. Thank you to Karan, Ashley and the entire supportive team at the Clearwater office.

TMS Advantage has been an enormous help for our 21 year old childs major depressive disorder. Many antidepressant drugs were tried, some with temporary and/or moderate successes, but all failed to relieve depressive symptoms after a few months. After a few weeks of TMS treatment, there were subtle changes, such as a greater sense of humor. After 5 weeks, a desire and motivation to socialize more, to work, and to go to back to school all came back. Six weeks of TMS treatment gave back to our child a sense of motivation, a more positive outlook on life, and greater self-confidence. While it is not a cure for depression, it has helped in countless ways. The staff that delivers the treatment at TMS Advantage are caring and trained and have helped us in dealing with depression with this amazing non-invasive treatment. And it doesnt have the side effects normally associated with antidepressant drugs. I cannot say enough good things about this form of treatment at TMS Advantage. I feel hopeful again for our childs future.

Phenomenal, life-changing experience...TMS significantly reduced my depression and anxiety. I received first-class care from the team at TMS Advantage and recommend them to anyone. Sometimes you do not know how much better you can feel until you experience the difference yourself. I wish I had done this for myself years ago; however, I only recently learned of the option. I am a believer in TMS and the methodology used by this team - it far surpasses the program of another clinic by utilizing a holistic and personalized approach.

TMS Advantage changed my life.I was skeptical of the treatments and almost bailed the initial meeting to check it out. My husband and counselor insisted I give the consult a chance. I am forever grateful for that loving nudge. I was 27 years old and suffered from Depression & anxiety when I started my treatments. Anyone who experiences depression or has witnessed a loved one go through it. Understands the very private plea for help. My circumstances were pretty dire due to PTSD from the military, and past trauma from my childhood. The six week treatments I received, and at Advantage Heath, gave me a fighting chance again in my life. Two weeks into my treatment and I started to FEEL a difference in myself. If you know anything about depression it is that you tend to feel hopeless and numb. I had suffered with depression and anxiety for over a year and it was causing my gut to malfunction. I had seen countless doctors and specialist and It wasnt till I explored all medical options that my GI specialist told me that my gut was fine but that the issue could very well be mental. That I should seek out mental health professionals. My husband immediately started the research for the best therapist and medications. I was NOT WILLING, seeing as I was depressed and wasnt able to care at the time. My husband set up my counseling apt, got me on anti-depressant medications, and got in touch with Advantage health. I received all three during TMS. Due to my severe circumstances. Without TMS, and the incredible staff at Advantage Health Clearwater, Im afraid to think how long my road to recovery would have taken, or if it would have happened at all. If you are going through a similar situation right now, or have a love one who is, this treatment, and this facility is your answer. The staff know what they are doing, and they are incredibly pleasant to be around. Take it from someone who did NOT want to be around anyone! By the end of my six weeks I saw the staff as friends and I looked forward to seeing them every day for my treatments. Im still healing from past trauma but since receiving TMS I am no longer on my anti-depressants, and my mind is finally active again. TMS did not solve all my issues, however, it gave me a fighting chance to resolve them. My mind is more alert than it has been in years and my energy level is healthy! It gave me the ability to deal with past trauma and I am now dealing with suppressed emotions in a healthy manner. I do believe TMS was the secret link that I was missing. My husband and I are excited to see what the future holds for me now that Im becoming myself again!I recommend you give them a call and see if its a good fit for you or your loved one.

Advantage Mental Health was kind enough to extend me an internship during the months of January through April 2019. From day one, I was quite impressed with the level of professionalism from all staff members (Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Therapists, and office administration). Each staff member was immensely accommodating in furthering my education in the psychiatric field. I witnessed firsthand the professionalism they extended to all their patients. I was extremely impressed with the Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) program. I observed numerous success stories from patients who underwent TMS treatment for depression. Not only do they provide outstanding outpatient psychiatric services to the community, but they also nurture education opportunities for future clinicians. Thank you, Advantage Mental Health, for giving me the opportunity to feel valued as a future provider. I highly recommend this facility for psychiatric services. Outstanding experience!

As someone who has suffered from severe anxiety and depression for years, TMS treatment has been life changing for me. I was very skeptical at first but as I went to treatment and followed the advice of the physicians and the staff, I gradually started to notice improvements in my overall well being and mood. I can honestly say that I am not the same depressed and anxiety filled person I was before TMS therapy. For the first time in a long time, I look forward to everyday and what the future holds.In addition, the staff at The TMS Advantage makes you feel like family. Everyone in the office greets you with a hello and a smile from the front desk to the office manager. This place is not your typical doctors office. They are very accommodating when working around business or family commitments. They have lunch time, evening and even Saturday appointments to fit the working persons schedule.If you are thinking about taking the step to a better life, I would highly recommend contacting them immediately. If you have to leave a message dont fret you will be the first person they call back and it possibly could be the first step in changing your life.

I haved suffered with depression throughout most of my adult life. I discovered this new therapy about a year ago and drove to another county to get it. It worked unbelievably. I encourage anyone considering it to not hesitate you can rest assured, although it is not guaranteed to work for everyone it was and is like a dream come true for me. Unfortunately about 3-4 months after completing it the first time I suffered a major physical setback, the big C. This set off another major depressive episode which I could not pull myself out of. I was thrilled to find TMS now available right here in Pinellas County not 10 minutes from my home at TMS Advantage. I found their approach to be a much more comprehensive, thorough and complete one. I cannot say enough good things about every single member of their staff. They are all a very warm and welcoming group who make you feel like part of their family almost immediately. I finished my second round of 36 treatments a week ago. I feel great and miss them all very much. I almost forgot to mention they are extremely accommodating in that they offer evening, lunchtime and even Saturday appointments for those that work a regular 9-5. I couldn’t recommend them more highly than the 5 stars allowed, that being said if I could I’d give you a solid 10! Miss you all!

I am currently utilizing Advantages services. If you have struggled with depression, anxiety, or any related mental health issue; if you have been on medications such as Zoloft, Paroxetine, or any anti-depressant and you just are not getting the desired results then I think you owe it to yourself to check out TMS. There are no side effects that I have experienced and so far this modality is really working for me. There are SO many positives that I can layout for you it is amazing. This technology has been FDA approved and has been in use since 2008. It is not what I expected it to be - when I first heard about it, I felt it might be something in the realm of voo-doo science or a methodology that didnt really work as suggested. You owe it to yourself to be happy and lead a really fulfilling life. TMS is cutting/bleeding edge technology and once I found it, I truly felt like I just found a 25 carat rough diamond amongst a pile of clay laying somewhere in the Desert in Death Valley. It is not voo-doo science nor an unproven, anecdotal pseudo-homeopathic type device that yields only anecdotal results. The results are real and very tangible. When I began this treatment my lifes motto, and my motto going into this treatment was, what the hell, Ive got nothing to lose. However, now I see how I really have everything to gain. My treatment is ongoing so I have not yet reached the final result. I have cut my medications to practically ZERO in the roughly 2 months while having this procedure/process performed on me. I am highly educated, if I may say so, as well as HIGHLY skeptical. I began weaning myself off of meds without the Medical go ahead to begin doing so. This was MY version of a double blind study, but it was my own self study to see if this was truly impactful or just placebo affect. As it turns out, and as I confessed to Karan, I did this without medical advice to do so (PLEASE DONT DO THIS ON YOUR OWN - be completely truthful with them) and I have not needed the massive amounts of medications (with their side effects) to keep my thought patterns positive as I currently have. This is the equivalent, in computer geek terms, of upgrading your BIOS on your CPU at home. I had begun a downward spiral, mentally and emotionally when I was diagnosed with Crohns disease in the prime of my life at age 24. I felt doomed to live what I considered a sub-standard life, based against my expectations. The brain-gut connection is VERY real. I endorse giving this methodology a try, especially if you are at your wits end or are having coping mechanisms triggered that are making you feel depressed and unhappy. Slight depression to major depression, anxiety and all the issues that come with it will really be helped by this treatment. I took a more skeptical eye to this methodology than anything in my life. I have subscriptions to all major medical journals online and in print since my Crohns diagnosis in 1987. My father was a Physician for 40+ years in the Tampa Bay area. If double blind studies did not prove out an evidence based medical theory and strongly support that the treatment is a true evidence based medical procedure/process, then my father dismissed it as anecdotal. I believe that is when I become a true 100% skeptic. Prove it to me beyond doubt, then I will believe it. Give me results of double blind placebo controlled medical trials, unbiased, with both the good, bad, indifferent and leave nothing out. Then I will entertain trying the treatment, still with a skeptics eye as all humans have different genome makeups and different outcomes. Unfortunately, I now must cut this short for a treatment. Try it, see it, be as skeptical as you can. (youll never exceed my initial skepticism) Give yourself a chance to feel GREAT! YOU deserve it! This works! I wish I had found out about this mental health diamond in the barren desert earlier but I have found it now and that is what matters. Try this and you will be a TMS evangelist like me. All the best wishes. Make your dreams!

TMS is truly an effective treatment for those living with depression. And TMS Advantage is an office you can trust with your care. All of the staff are knowledgable and caring in a way that makes you feel optimistic and encouraged. I had tried many therapies and medications in my life long battle with depression; TMS worked with no side effects. At Advantage they encourage you to be involved in your treatment by offering weekly therapy, nutritional advice, exercise and sleep tracking. Because getting better often means some lifestyle changes. Those changes seem daunting when youre living with depression, but TMS Advantage makes it feel possible.

Having finished my treatment here at TMS, I can confidently say that it has made a huge impact on my life. I came into the office after coming home from college, severely depressed and had already tried multiple medications. My mother was the one who researched and convinced me to try the treatment, and I was ready to try anything at that point. Paired with therapy weekly, my treatments quickly showed their effects around halfway through. My friends and family could see a difference in my mood and I was overall just so much happier, less sensitive to things, and motivated to get up and be the person who this treatment has allowed me to be. On top of that, working with Dr. Karan and the rest of the team at the Clearwater location helped me immensely. Dr. Karan became someone I trusted and who I could talk to; he didnt feel like my doctor, he felt like my friend. Having that support and knowing that each time I walked into that office I would be greeted and honestly have a great time every time I went in for treatment. As a 20 year old, this treatment has saved my life and allowed me to come back to my normal self again. I would highly recommend this to anyone who suffers from depression or anxiety, it is absolutely worth it.

This therapy has truly changed my life for the better. My wife, my family, my friends all can see the change in me as well. It is night and day the person I am now that I am no longer living with depression. I thank God for this therapy. Couldnt recommend it enough people, you dont need to suffer.

I am halfway through a series of TMS treatments and they are definitely helping. I suffer several disorders including PTSD and major depression...I noticed much less anxiety by treatment number 3. Now I am able to stay focused and have more drive and interest in doing things, like finish my schooling. These treatments have definitely been a game-changer for me. Ive lost 6 pounds over the past 3 weeks. The treatment takes about 30 minutes, the office is super friendly, runs on schedule, and they always have coffee and snacks available. Im so glad I did this.

This place saved my daughters (17) life - no exaggeration. My daughter had been fighting depression for years and after 7 therapists and 11 drugs, nothing worked. THIS DID! You may be thinking it is the procedure, not the facility, that healed her but that would be naive. Treating depression requires psychological, physiological and physical healing. The facility spent a lot of time evaluating her blood records to assess what vitamins she needed, monitoring her physical activity and sleep patterns via a facility-provided smart watch, working with her Psychiatrist to regulate medications, and giving her verbal encouragement to stick with it. Karan made a connection with my daughter which was crucial to her recovery and I will be eternally grateful to him.

After many years of different medications and therapies, I found out about TMS.I made a consult appointment at TMS Advantage, which started my healing journey.Karan Narwal was with me every step of the way. He thoroughly explained how TMS works and made sure I was comfortable and understood the process. Karan is very empathetic and genuinely cares about his patients’ well being.The TMS procedure itself was painless for me. There was significant improvement with my depression and I continue to get better.Dr. Obregon and the office staff at TMS Advantage were also fantastic. I wasn’t aware the office is family owned until several weeks into therapy, but when I found out- it absolutely made sense. Not once did I feel like a ‘number’.Thank you to everyone at TMS Advantage. Thank you to NeuroStar.

After suffering from depression and severe anxiety for several years I was losing hope of having the life I had always wanted, the life I deserved, I was losing hope of even having a life. I met with Karan Narwal for my consultation to learn more about what TMS could do for me. Karan was very understanding of my emotional state, answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable to take a leap of faith. Throughout my treatment, Karan was always checking on my diet, my sleep, my activity and most importantly ME. I never knew the world looked so good! Prior to TMS, I didnt see the colors of the world, the beauty of the day to day. I feel as if I have put on glasses and for the first time I can see the world and my life through new eyes; things became so clear. It is so amazing and so moving as I look back at that desperate girl, so sad and in extreme pain from my severe anxiety and depression....that girl is gone. Today I am happy and healthy and in remission from my depression and anxiety. Is my anxiety 100% gone? No but guess what....it is 95% gone. I owe my new self and my beautiful life ahead to Karan and the TMS Advantage staff for all of the care, concern, education and support throughout my treatment. My purpose and mission now is to be a voice, to be there for others who struggle and to let everyone know my story.

The TMS Advantage is amazing. I had gone through a TMS treatment before but they dont even come close to how well this program is managed. The first phone call I received I felt immediately relieved. When I went in for my consult I was even more comforted by the entire feel of the office. It is a very calming environment, everyone is incredibly nice and they are genuinely concerned for your well being. Karan Narwal, who is with you through the entire process, is a very important part of my overall success. The program is very comprehensive because they dont just track your mental state - they also look at your sleep, exercise and nutrition. I felt like a friend when I was there, not a number. They check in with you every day, you get to meet with the psychiatrist (Dr. Obregon - who is awesome) often and there is a weekly group you can attend. They track your progress every step of the way and show you the results which really helps you see how far you have come. They were willing to work with me on everything. I absolutely recommend The TMS Advantage to anyone who is looking into or is ready for the TMS treatment. Thank you to everyone for helping me get my life back on track!

TMS changed my life. It takes time, and it definitely took a lot of commitment, but these guys are good people and the program they have is much more than just TMS. Helping me with my life at home and at work is just a part of what they do, god bless!

When I first started I didnt know how this would work, but I was hopeful. It had to be better than how I was feeling! After the first few treatments I could tell the brain fog was lifting. I struggled a bit as my home life was not the best! By the end if my treatment I was amazed at how happy I felt! Karan, Dr Obergon and Danielle were so awesome to work with. They understand Mental Health issues and how it effects the brain. They describe how TMS works to open up Neuro pathways our brain shuts down due to depression. They prescibed certain supplements that helped work with the neuro plasticity that was happening in my brain. I have learned to eat better, exercise, and continue to become better at all aspects of my life! This treatment saved my life! Had it not been for The TMS I would have continued to get worse, believe me I was very depressed! The Professionalism that all staff shows for each person who walks through their dooru is exceptional!! I will continue to connect with them and will refer anyone I know with Mental Health issues to them!! Thank you all for coming into my life!! Most of all thank you for saving me from my darkness of depression!! Life is so good and continues to get better!! Overwhelmingly Happy!Cheryl Kinney

Where do I start? This clinic is the absolute best. I did my research and discovered that this facilty has the best outcomes. I know why too.1) These people care. From the front desk to the one that performs the procedures. They work WITH your schedule and finances. Unheard of in 2019. From the minute you enter you feel cared about and welcome. Such a pleasant atmosphere! Go Nikki!2) There is more than JUST the TMS going on here. There is Dr Obregon the psychiatrist who is great. He has explained things to me like no one ever has. Lab work was done that has diagnosed vitamin deficiencies we never knew of. There is a PROGRAM that includes support groups, nutrition, step and sleep tracker devices, etc. It is not just a magnetic device placed and leave. There is teaching going on.3) Most importantly there is Karan. He is the face of TMS there. He is the one who places the device, calms your fears and encourages you when you feel discouraged. I cannot say enough about him. I want to adopt him into my family.If you are looking for a TMS program come HERE! As a nurse with a background in behavioral medicine and case management I am PICKY!Tracy K Woolrich, RN ACM

Review №28

The change in my 20 year old daughter is astounding after TMS treatments here. The doctors and office staff couldnt be more professional, yet caring and supportive, but that is just a bonus. My daughter G is slowly but surely turning into the person she was meant to be because of TMS. She has been plagued with severe social anxiety, leading to debilitating depression, since she was 10 years old. She was a recluse and barely functioning when my skeptical husband stumbled upon TMS treatment information online. It sounded a bit hokey but he was very impressed with Dr Obregon (the lead doctor) and his experience, research and brilliance.G was not in school or working, hiding in her room all day, and we were about to have her tested for autism. She has been on MANY different medications from antpsychotics to SSRIs. All had intolerable side effects (mostly heavy sedation).The treatment seemed a tad scary at first but I soon learned it would stimulate a part of her brain, in a noninvasive manner, that had underactive functioning. My daughter took to it surprisingly well very quickly. The office, staff and doctors made us feel very comfortable and we trusted them completely. Dr. Narwall, the primary TMS technician, is a gem and genuinely cares about his patients.My daughter completed the treatments a month ago and seemed a bit better. What has been astonishing is that she seems to be getting better and better as more time goes by. She is socializing, back in school to get a nursing degree and taking care of herself and caring about her life again.I highly reccomend this treatment, and TMS Advantage in particular. We have had many experiences with mental health facilities and doctors and I can honestly say that this is one of the best. They are passionate and excited about helping you and your family and you can feel it the moment you walk in the door.I am adding to my review. It has been many months since my daughter had TMS. The changes have been slow and subtle but she has slowly taken herself off all medications for depression and anxiety and feels good. She feels like her brain is finally working properly for the first time in years. I highly recommend this therapy.

Ive been researching TMS for awhile and finally decided to seek treatment. This place is exceeding my expectations. Dr. Obregon is great and their coordinator is really helpful. Im half way through treatment but have already seen an improvement. I like the holistic approach they take (I dont like to take medication, so this is important for me). They checked my vitamin levels, gave me a FitBit so I could monitor my physical activity, and they have weekly group therapy (Danielle is awesome) where Im learning to change some negative thoughts and habits Ive fallen into. Im really optimistic about TMS and their program is helping me feel like myself again. I actually like coming here -- its a nice office, they have snacks and coffee. I feel comfortable which is also important after all the other (not so nice) doctors offices Ive been too. Their coordinator (Karan) works with me every day and his knowledge and positive attitude are a big part of my wanting to continue in treatment. He explains everything and worked with my insurance to get my coverage. I highly recommend them!

Had an hour-and-a-half consultation only to find out they dont take my insurance although they didnt tell me that.I was given the runaround for 2 weeks saying they were putting it through to my insurance which they never did submit. I have Florida blue and I guess most places dont take that insurance
