Request a TMS AppointmentBoard-Certified Psychiatric Expertise
When you choose Houston West TMS, your care is overseen by Dr. William K. Drell, a board-certified psychiatrist with deep experience in treating depression and other mental health conditions. Dr. Drell focuses specifically on patients who have struggled with treatment-resistant depression, and he brings a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to every case. He meets with patients periodically throughout treatment to answer questions, monitor progress, and coordinate care, ensuring you are never simply handed off to a machine.
Advanced Brainsway Deep TMS Technology
Not all TMS is the same. Houston West TMS uses the Brainsway Deep TMS system, which employs a patented coil that reaches broader and deeper regions of the prefrontal cortex than traditional TMS. This wider electrical field increases the likelihood that the correct brain area is effectively stimulated, which research suggests can lead to higher response and remission rates. With Deep TMS, you benefit from one of the most advanced noninvasive depression treatments available.
A Treatment That Fits Your Life
We understand that life does not stop for treatment. Deep TMS requires no sedation and no recovery time, so you remain fully awake during each session and can drive yourself to and from appointments. After the first calibration visit, daily sessions typically last only 20 to 30 minutes, making it easy to fit treatment around work, family, and other commitments. You can also continue your current medications under the care of your existing psychiatrist, so there is no disruptive washout period.
Personalized, Compassionate Care
At Houston West TMS, you are more than a diagnosis. We take time to understand your history, your goals, and your concerns, and we tailor each treatment plan accordingly. From your first consultation, our team explains every step of the process clearly so you always know what to expect. We treat each patient with the respect and empathy that effective mental health care requires.
Help With Insurance and Affordability
Navigating insurance should never stand between you and effective treatment. Our team verifies your benefits before treatment begins and files your insurance when coverage is approved. For patients whose plans do not cover TMS or who do not have insurance, we offer competitive self-pay rates, and medical financing may be available. We are committed to making advanced care accessible.
