About Us

TMS of Knoxville is the first clinic to bring

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to Knoxville

TMS is the breakthrough technology for non-drug treatment of depression and promises to be the future of psychiatric treatment—providing hope for patients for whom medication treatment and psychotherapy have failed to achieve satisfactory results. At TMS of Knoxville, we’ve treated over 300 patients for over 10 years for treatment-resistant depression with a 55% remission rate.

The cutting-edge MagVenture TMS system used at TMS of Knoxville is licensed only to psychiatrists with appropriate clinical training. This new technology, which was cleared by the FDA initially for treating major depression in 2008, has been 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 offer the MagVita®system in the eastern half of the U.S. The Danish company MagVenture later changed the name to the MagVenture system. It was the first water-cooled coil system, our second TMS device purchased.
