The first step in determining if you are a candidate for TMS therapy is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Buongiorno. The Initial Consultation is a face to face consultation where all of your previous psychiatric history and medical history will be discussed and evaluated. If you would like, you may view an informative Neurostar TMS video here on the Neurostar® TMS Therapy system.

Please contact Sheila Mulford, TMS Coordinator, at (910)762-8400 to discuss scheduling. Prior to a consultation, we will refer you back to our website and instruct you to download the TMS New Patient forms that we require. In preparation for consultation, we will require all of your past psychiatric records from your treating physician(s). You can find the TMS New Patient forms here.

Please note, the purpose of completing our new patient forms is for our administrative intake process only and by doing so, you are not considered to be under our care until you are seen in consultation. If you, for any reason, are not seen in consultation, your private information will be destroyed immediately.

Scheduling TMS therapy:

If you are an appropriate candidate for TMS, we will schedule a block of 20 treatment sessions initially. Treatment will be provided daily (M-F) for a 4 week period. Payment is due in full in order to schedule your 20 sessions/4 week treatment block.
