If you live with major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or anxious depression, you may be eligible for NeuroStar TMS therapy. It is one of the top treatments of its kind and the number one-recommended TMS treatment by physicians?
What makes NeuroStar different, and what makes it stand out from other TMS treatments? We cover why NeuroStar TMS is different and what makes it one of the most highly sought-after TMS treatments for our qualifying adult and adolescent patients with depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Discover why NeuroStar TMS is different from other treatments with a consultation with Dr. Deirmenjian at Premier TMS Centers of Los Angeles.
Our medical director, Dr. Deirmenjian, has over 14 years of experience treating patients with TMS therapy. He was an early adopter of TMS therapy for treatment-resistant depression. Like many other doctors, he recommends NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy when other therapies are ineffective.
NeuroStar is a nonsurgical and noninvasive treatment option that is free of the systemic side effects that often come with medication. It is a gentler treatment alternative to medication and invasive surgical options. NeuroStar’s nonsurgical nature means patients do not have to worry about sedation, anesthesia, residual scarring, or bruising. It is also very low risk.
Unlike more invasive treatments such as Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), NeuroStar does not cause memory loss or any other neurological side effects. What makes NeuroStar TMS different from medication is that it comes with no systemic side effects. Medications often come with unwanted side effects such as suicidal ideation, sexual dysfunction, and GI issues. As a non-medication treatment, NeuroStar can be a good alternative for patients who struggle with medication adherence, find themselves switching between medications, or achieve no relief from medication.
NeuroStar is also very easy to incorporate into your schedule. With a treatment course spanning just six weeks of short daily sessions and no downtime, our patients can easily find time for their NeuroStar treatments.
For most patients, six weeks is all it takes. Most patients will experience positive results following their treatment period. The treatment period can be extended or customized to suit your needs if needed. Some patients do benefit from additional maintenance treatments on a semi-annual or annual basis.

For many patients, NeuroStar can be very affordable. Major insurers cover NeuroStar. Over 300 million Americans are eligible for insurance coverage for NeuroStar TMS therapy. NeuroStar also offers financial assistance to patients through NeuroStar’s Reimbursement Support Program. This financial aid can supplement insurance coverage where necessary. Our team can help patients navigate their options for financial assistance and insurance coverage.
NeuroStar offers a variety of benefits to our patients that treatments like medication, surgery, and psychotherapy do not. NeuroStar is one of the top treatments for qualifying patients in terms of convenience, safety, treatment delivery method, and insurance coverage.
