She has a smile on her face everyday and promptly handles all your questions professionally. She does a great job of working with your schedule and is a pleasure to see daily.Selma dul2023-08-23I’d recommend everyone to try TMS at Palmier if given the opportunity. It was truly a life changing treatment with the best group of people. They were always super flexible with timely responses and the treatments were as enjoyable as can be and quick. Thank you Stacy, Missy, and Jason for all you do!Greg Thompson2023-06-18After much research we found TMS therapy is one of the safest & most effective options for depression. Palmier TMS has been extremely responsive, providing information for us about TMS therapy. They explained insurance coverage and what private pay would look like. 5 stars for Palmier TMS therapy clinic.Lisa Conway2023-06-06I have really benefited from TMS therapy and would like to thank the staff, especially Stacy, for making my visits so pleasant and for helping me, in providing me with these treatments that are really life changing in a great way! Thank you so much Palmier TMS and to Stacy for always providing me with exceptional care.James Milliner2023-05-30Everyone was nice treated me like family and did a good job at helping me thew the programTrinity Flaton2023-05-25After finishing my TMS treatments in mid April, I can say for sure that it has changed my life for the better. Even at the beginning of the year, it was difficult for me to get out of bed every day to do simple tasks. However, since completing treatment, it has been a second nature. I have WANTED to go out and do things, which was rarely a desire before. I do something new about every day. Besides finding myself more happy overall, I have also found it easier to control my emotions and stay cool headed. Now I feel about as carefree and happy as I did as a kid. TMS also provided a nice and safe environment, which I was very appreciative of. I was always offered water and snacks every time I came in for treatment. The staff was very friendly as well; I almost miss going in every day and just chatting with them! Overall, treatment at TMS was definitely worth it. If you feel like you have exhausted your options with therapy and medication, this may be exactly what you need.Ashley Cullen2023-05-09As someone who has dealt with depression and being on and off anti depressants since the age of 14 I was skeptical. Worried this wouldn't work. I wasn't entirely sure I wanted to even try, until I spoke to Jason about it. After our conversation I thought what do I really have to lose? Halfway through the treatment I couldn't believe how much in general my outlook on things changed. Now that I've completed the treatment entirely I feel I have hope. Hope that I no longer have to rely on medication any more. Even if I start to fall back, they offer maintenance which is great! I'm so happy with the decision I made to do this. For anyone on the fence to try this, or isn't sure... it's worth it.ryan shelby2023-03-27I tried this after years of unsuccessful treatments and to my surprise, it worked wonderfully! I got immediate relief and was able to get back to living a happier more social life. The staff is great! They are extremely flexible and the conversations help pass the time. Would highly recommend!Han Zhao2023-01-11TMS is life-changing for me! I’ve suffered from severe depression for over a decade. The last 15 months was a constant struggle. I came in with a 19 PHQ9 score and left with a 0-2. I’m adamant with my self growth, self care efforts. However, without the proper chemicals in my brain, those efforts are often moo point. I don’t remember the last time I felt the way I’ve been feeling the last couple of weeks. Stacy and all the staff are also a joy to work with! Hope TMS can help many others the way it’s helped me. 6 months post-treatment review: The TMS treatment I received at Palmier continues to have a positive effect on me. I come in once a month for maintenance treatment after the 36-session treatment. I have been feeling like my normal-self ever since the treatment. I’m able to weather through tough days and distinguish between clinical depression vs. life. Being in remission has been the best thing!Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 28 reviews
