TMS (short for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a treatment for moderate to severe major depression that has failed to respond in a satisfactory manner to several rounds of antidepressant medication therapy and psychotherapy. TMS uses high intensity magnetic pulses to stimulate neurons in the "mood circuit" in the left frontal part of the brain.

Dr. McDermott is AMAZING!! BUT his office staff is less than desirable. When my prescription needs to be refilled I cant get the older lady or the young kid to even answer my calls, return my calls or send my prescription info to the doctor to be filled. I really miss Linda. She ALWAYS had my stuff taken care of by the end of the day. She didnt even have to call me back cuz I would get a message from my pharmacy letting me know it was ready. (It was an agreement that her & I had cuz I knew how busy she was.) Not to mention, Linda was ALWAYS sooo polite & understanding. The other 2 weren't. The

Very disappointed. I called before my referral was sent to ask if they were accepting new patients and they said yes. My primary doctor sent referral and they called and left message for me to schedule. I attempted to contact them for 3 weeks and they finally returned my call to say they are no longer accepting new patients. Wow unbelievable and disappointing.

Dr. McDermott is an absolutely wonderful psychiatrist. His diagnosis, treatment, understanding, and support, have gone miles beyond anything I've ever gotten from any other medical professional. Before I met him I used to think I at the mercy of my mental illness and would be stuck in a minimum wage Job because I couldn't handle anything else, but in the years since I've seen McDermott that has flipped, I no longer fear the workplace as something I won't be able to handle, and I've been promoted to manager of my store. If life is rocky and you want a caring, smart, friendly, funny psychiatrist
