Testimony

Our patients have shared their positive experiences with us. For instance, Chris rated us 5/5 and mentioned, "Have been seeing one of the doctors here for 5 years now for therapy services, psych and medication support and, recently the TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) therapy. My doctor is responsive with messaging on the patient portal and the TMS Technician who supported my treatment, Katie, was amazing, personable and very knowledgeable on the process!"

Malarie also rated us 5/5, saying, "Absolutely amazing. Wonderful staff. Very professional. Dr Heather Martin has been wonderful as well! I can not recommend them enough!"

Alana shared her experience with TMS therapy, saying, "I am on a maintenance schedule to 'top up' my anti-depression tanks. This second experience is as good as the first! The actual treatment is relaxing and not at in the least uncomfortable. After each session, I always feel a little perked up. Over the long term, my mood has significantly improved. I don't feel like a zombie any more."
