Every Question Answered


Visit the Learning Center for clear and transparent explanations about our processes, treatment protocols, TMS vs Spravato comparisons, and the conditions we treat.

  • Can everyone undergo TMS?

    Although it is a safe method, TMS is contraindicated in patients with a history of seizures and with implanted metallic devices or non-removable metallic objects in or around the head (except for standard amalgam dental fillings). Is TMS right for me? →

  • How is Spravato administered?

    Spravato is self-administered as a nasal spray under the supervision of a healthcare provider at a certified treatment center. Spravato (Esketamine) →

  • Does TMS Have Side Effects?

    Generally, TMS is well-tolerated. Some patients have reported slight headaches, toothaches, or some discomfort at the treatment site, though they subside at the end of each treatment session. TMS benefits & side effects →

  • How quickly does Spravato take effect?

    Some patients notice improvement in symptoms within hours or days, while others may require several weeks of treatment to experience significant benefits. Spravato vs TMS therapy →

  • Does Insurance cover TMS?

    TMS costs are more affordable than you may have heard. Most insurances including Medicare provide coverage for TMS as it is becoming more sought after by patients.

Our Treatment Process

It looks like a cross with a blurred background.

You will be seated in a private room, where you are able to watch TV, read, or use your phone during treatment. A TMS device will be positioned on your head and you will feel a tapping sensation every few seconds throughout the 20-minute session. A TMS technician will remain in the room to ensure your comfort and care. After the session, you will be able to resume daily activities without limitations.

Consultation

You will meet with Dr. Blair to confirm your candidacy for TMS. Dr. Blair will provide a detailed overview of TMS and answer any questions. 

Prior Authorization

We handle all the paperwork. The speed of an authorization depends on the insurance company. Typically, 1 day to 2 weeks is a normal speed. 

Initial Treatment

Once authorization is obtained, we will contact you to schedule your first appointment. Typically, we can begin TMS within 1 week.

Daily Treatment

Treatments are 5x a week, M-F. You will receive 36 total treatments. Treatments take about 20 minutes. Hours of operation are 7 am - 6 pm

Meet with Dr. Blair

On your last treatment day, you will meet with Dr. Blair to discuss outcomes and next steps.

Five blue stars are lined up in a row on a white background.

"There are very few places I look forward to going outside of my home. This place is one of the top places. I’ll call them a team instead of employees because that is how they function. They are all exceptionally knowledgeable, proactively helpful, approachable, and somehow they are all “off the pages of a magazine” beautiful.  Like every one of them. Dr. Blair leads them and is an absolutely wonderful human being (even he’s hot people) who is also of course a big deal Columbus psychiatrist, respected well beyond the walls of optimumTMS. I have received both treatments they offer over a number of years and both have been no less than life changing."

"These people are phenomenal! From the doctor to all of the staff. They are there because they want to be, not to just earn a buck. They truly care about you as a person and are there to help you. I can’t tell you how many time when I went in there for treatments and just needed to vent about something. They listen, no judgement.  I am happy my treatments are over but I miss the staff. I used to look forward to going to the office because of the staff. I can’t thank you enough. Dr. Blair, Hayley, Jordan, Davis, Adam, Kaylee, and muscle man (sorry can’t remember his name because that is what I called him). I apologize if I miss anyone. I would highly recommend this practice. They are awesome!!!"

"I just finished a full course of TMS at Optimum and had a fantastic overall experience! The treatment itself worked even better than I expected- which was shocking for me, given that I have struggled with treatment resistant depression for most of my life and was in the worst depressive episode I’d had in years when I started TMS. My symptoms decreased enough to make a HUGE difference in my day to day life, and it gave me the energy and motivation to keep investing in my mental health post-TMS. The entire staff is thoughtful, funny, and super friendly, and they were always very quick to help me accommodate my changing schedule and work with my insurance..."
