A Video About The Book
Dr. Badiola has been following TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) research for quite some time and is now offering this cutting edge treatment for depression to the people of the Lakeland and surrounding areas. TMS uses an MRI strength magnet to stimulate parts of the brain thought to control mood that are known to be underactive in people suffering from depression. The response rates in the latest real-world trials are about 68% and the rate of remission is over 45%.
In addition to TMS, Dr. Badiola is also offering home sleep study to diagnose and treat sleep apnea.Contact us for a consultation.
