How did you first learn about TMS Therapy? I’d been curious about it but never had the time to explore it until after years in private practice in Washington, D.C., I came to North Carolina. That’s where I first saw TMS Therapy firsthand. Once I completed Intensive training in TMS at the Medical University of South Carolina with Dr. Mark George, an early pioneer of TMS Therapy, I was on fire about TMS because of the great results seen in this course of treatment for patients struggling with medication-resistant depression. S  o when I came back to my work, I went gangbusters on the TMS program at Novant Health, where I sought to strengthen and develop their TMS program and training. Upon leaving my work at Novant, I opened my wellness center and gladly took a position at Greenbrook TMS as their Regional Medical Director in Charlotte in order to do more TMS and let more clinicians know about it and to educate the public about it. After years and years in practice, if you go into medicine for the right reasons, your goal is to get people better consistently . Because there are so many people that don’t respond to antidepressants you want to have a place to go and Greenbrook TMS Therapy affords that.
