Medication Management - I can help you find medications that work, monitor progress and side effects .
Genesight Testing - Genesight Testing GeneSight is a pharmacogenomic test that analyzes clinically important genetic variations that may affect your response to medications. The results of the test can provide your doctor with information about which medications may be more likely to work.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) - Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy is an advanced therapy which uses a targeted, pulsed magnetic field, similar to what is used in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine. The pulses, produced through a FDA approved device, are delivered directly to the specific area of the brain involved in depression.
