Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about TMS therapy

Traditional TMS is a non-invasive course of daily sessions, usually over several weeks, using NeuroStar Advanced Therapy. It is covered by major insurance plans and is used to treat major depressive disorder. Dr. Ko walks you through benefits before treatment begins.

NeuroStar Advanced Therapy TMS treatment requires no drugs, needles, surgery, or pain. Unlike antidepressants, which circulate through your bloodstream and can cause side effects throughout your body, NeuroStar Advanced Therapy TMS directly targets your brain. It's a low-risk treatment that only takes a little time out of your day.

Every patient starts with time with Je Ko, MD PhD. He reviews your history, your goals, and your insurance, then recommends traditional TMS, accelerated TMS, or another form of care. We see patients from Beverly Hills, Culver City, Los Angeles, surrounding communities, and out of state.

Accelerated TMS condenses treatment into a shorter schedule for patients who need care on a tighter timeline. Dr. Ko offers it alongside insurance-covered traditional TMS and helps you choose the course that fits your symptoms, your time, and your coverage.
