Do I need a Referral?
It is always a good idea to discuss with your doctor about TMS as a treatment option for your treatment-resistant depression.
Self-Referral
You can “self-refer” if you feel that you might be a candidate for TMS therapy.
Please, call us at (361) 582-5678 and we will be happy to answer any questions that you might have and schedule a FREE pre-treatment TMS consultation. During that consultation, we can show you around the TMS suite and answer any questions that you might have about TMS therapy, what to expect, office and financial policies, as well as insurance coverage and financing.
Once you decide to proceed with TMS therapy, a formal psychiatric consultation will be scheduled with Dr. Bouras who will screen for contraindications to TMS therapy as well as discuss your medical and psychiatric history and medications. This psychiatric consultation acts to ensure that you are a suitable candidate for TMS therapy. Any of your remaining questions or concerns can be raised at this time.
Provider Referral
Any physician, psychiatrist or any other health care provider or therapist can refer you for a TMS evaluation and treatment. You might want to download the following forms and take them to your provider who is thinking to refer you for TMS Therapy
