What Your Patients Get at UCLA
Comprehensive, physician-led neuromodulation care across the full range of treatments.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Every patient receives an individualized assessment covering our full range of treatments — standard and deep TMS, accelerated TMS protocols, noninvasive pain neuromodulation, and off-label considerations.
Physician-Led Collaborative Care
A board-certified psychiatrist monitors every session and adjusts treatment in real time. Our physicians work as a collaborative team, following all patients across all locations to ensure high-quality care both during each individual session and across the full treatment course.
Evidence-Based Protocols
We constantly update our protocols and utilize research-backed treatments, with many developments being published from our own clinical trials and retrospective analyses of thousands of treatments.
Good Candidates for TMS
TMS may be appropriate for patients with the following presentations.
Depression Not Responding to Medications
Patients who have tried two or more antidepressant medications without adequate relief, or who are intolerant of two or more medications, are candidates for TMS. Refer your patient and we will reach out to schedule a consultation to discuss candidacy. If they have comorbid treatment-resistant OCD, PTSD, chronic pain, tinnitus, or another condition, we can often treat this simultaneously with a pre-authorized TMS course.
Quick Turnaround
Evaluations are typically scheduled within one week of receiving a referral. Treatment begins one to two weeks after the evaluation is completed. Our team handles insurance pre-authorization so your patients can start treatment as quickly as possible.
