When we first speak with you, we will need to gather information about your psychiatric history including diagnoses, medications tried, psychotherapy/counseling history, health care professionals you have seen. We will need to secure HIPAA-compliant releases of information to other doctors and health care professionals for your records. We will also gather demographic and insurance information.
Upon coming to our offices to sign releases we will furnish more information packets to you and if available you may meet with our coordinator or one of our other technicians and see the MagVenture system (unless it is in use which it typically is). After gathering information which generally takes 1-2 weeks, we will decide whether to go forward with the next step.
The cutting-edge MagVenture TMS system used at TMS of Knoxville is licensed only to psychiatrists with appropriate clinical training. The MagVenture, which is the newest generation of TMS technology (and FDA-cleared for treating major depression), is bringing hope to people across the world whose doctors have struggled to effectively bring them back to wellness.
TMS of Knoxville was the first to bring TMS to Knoxville in 2013 and the first MagVenture TMS device made in Denmark to the eastern half of the U.S.

At TMS of Knoxville, we have successfully treated many patients with treatment resistant depression
