The First Consultation in Chandler
Before any treatment, you meet with a provider for an evaluation. Expect questions about your mood history, past medications, therapy, sleep, and any metal implants or seizure history. You may complete a brief symptom checklist in the waiting room. If TMS looks like a fit, the team walks you through the plan, the visit count and what your insurer needs before treatment is booked.
How Chandler Clinics Find Your Dose
At the first treatment visit, the provider sets the magnetic coil over the part of the brain that moves your hand. They raise the strength little by little until your thumb twitches slightly. That level, called the motor threshold, sets your dose. Next the coil shifts toward the front of your head, over a region tied to mood. Settings can be fine-tuned along the way.
Working Around Summer Heat and Shifts
Treatment usually means weekday visits, five per week, over roughly six weeks, which adds up to about 36 sessions. Many Chandler residents work shifts at tech and manufacturing campuses along the Price Corridor, so early-morning or late-afternoon slots help. From June through September, booking before midday heat makes the drive and the walk from your car easier. Ask how far ahead to reserve a standing time.

Can I head back to work in Chandler right after a session?
In most cases, yes. TMS needs no anesthesia, and you remain awake throughout, so heading straight to your job is common. A few people notice brief scalp soreness or a dull headache, which tends to ease as the weeks pass.
How long does each Chandler TMS visit take?
A standard session runs 20 to 40 minutes or so. Theta-burst sessions, when a clinic offers them, last only a few minutes of stimulation. Allow extra time for check-in on your first visits while the team confirms coil position and dose.
What if I travel during my six-week course?
Sessions do their job well when kept close together, so try to start when you expect about six weeks in town. If a trip or a shift change comes up, tell the clinic early. Staff can often reschedule or adjust the plan.
