How Soon Can I Be Seen?

A phone consultation can typically be scheduled within a few days of your first contact. The full timeline from consultation to first treatment session depends on insurance verification, prior authorization, and — for SAINT — scheduling an fMRI scan.

• Step 1: Phone consultation — typically within a few days of calling
• Step 2: Insurance verification — usually 3–10 business days, depending on your plan
• Step 3: Prior authorization (if required) — a few days to two weeks
• Step 4: Scheduling — once authorization is confirmed, we schedule your first session
• For SAINT: an fMRI scan is needed before treatment, adding a few days

For standard TMS, treatment can often begin within 1–3 weeks of your first call, depending on insurance turnaround. For SAINT, the timeline is similar but includes the fMRI step.

• Have your insurance card ready when you call
• Prepare a list of antidepressants you've tried, with approximate dates
• Gather records from your current prescriber if available
• Complete the insurance verification form before your consultation
