Frequently Asked Questions

Are you accepting new patients?

what age range do you treat?

I treat adults ranging from age 18-65. Special accommodations may be possible for the child/adolescent and geriatric population.

can i pay with insurance?

In order to deliver high quality personalized care, Paradigm Psychiatry must remain free of bureaucratic restrictions currently congesting the healthcare system.

However, if you have non-Medicare/Medicaid coverage, you may be eligible for reimbursement with “Out-of-Network” benefits.

which conditions can be treated with TMS?

TMS was initially approved for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder; therefore the most robust evidence and widespread Insurance coverage exists for this condition.

Recently, it has also received approval for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Smoking Cessation.

Compelling evidence is mounting for:

  • ADHD

  • Chronic Pain

  • Dementia

  • Parkinson’s Disease

  • Anxiety

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder

  • PTSD

  • Insomnia

Off-label treatment protocols can be customized to suit your needs, but please note this is not covered by insurance.

is tms like shock therapy/electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)?

No. ECT is an intensive procedure that requires anesthesia. A seizure is deliberately induced to “shock” the brain.

On the other hand, TMS is a form of Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS). It does not require anesthesia, IV, or anything invasive at all.

You will remain awake and alert throughout the procedure.

what are your hours of operation?

Monday-Friday: 10:00 AM - Noon; 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM (Before/After-hours accommodations possible)*

Saturday: Closed (Accommodations Possible)*

Sunday: Closed
