Kalamazoo TMS & Behavioral Health provides physician-led TMS therapy near Texas Township, MI, at our Lovers Lane clinic in Portage. Most Texas Township patients are 10 to 20 minutes away. We evaluate adults whose depression has not improved enough with medication and help them understand treatment eligibility, appointment schedules and insurance requirements.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-cleared, noninvasive treatment for major depressive disorder. A magnetic coil delivers targeted pulses to brain regions involved in mood regulation.
TMS does not require anesthesia or sedation. Most appointments take 20 to 40 minutes, and patients can drive themselves and return to daily activities afterward.
Our clinic uses the NeuroStar® Advanced TMS system. A psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Tareen is completed before treatment to review diagnosis, prior treatment, safety and insurance criteria.
“I work full time. I scheduled sessions before work and went straight to the office afterward. No side effects, no downtime. Dr. Shama made sure that TMS worked when nothing else had.”
