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 about TMS Therapy. We will also be happy to schedule a psychiatric consultation with Dr. Bouras to see if you are a candidate for TMS Therapy. During your formal psychiatric consultation (which is usually covered by health insurance plans) Dr. Bouras will screen you for any contraindications to TMS therapy as well as review your medical and psychiatric history and medications and discuss how TMS Therapy can help you with your recovery from depression.  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
