"TMS Life has given me hope. With three decades of depression under my belt and countless anti-depressants, I now feel like I have a pep in my step I've not had for years. The entire team at TMS Life ensures you are welcome from initial phone calls and throughout the entire course of treatment. I was reassured knowing my treatment protocol was evidence-based, safe and conducted by experienced and trained professionals. Each visit to the clinic offered me a sense of community that is often absent in those struggling with their mental health."

"After years of treatments for my PTSD, being referred to the TMS clinic by my doctor is like a breath of fresh air in my life. I am a veteran and suffer from PTSD since years and I was in deep depression since about 2. I did psychotherapy group treatments and use medications, but at one point, you become tired of telling your story and feel like nothing new will come out of it. One day, my doctor told me about this clinic. Until the day Dr Taplin called me, I wasn't too sure about it. The thing I loved about our first phone call was that no promise where made, only basic facts and clear explanations. I was very nervous about the first appointment and asked if I could bring my retired service dog. Well, they are very open to well behave dogs, service dogs or not. When you get in that clinic, you feel like you get in a big warm blanket. They are all so welcoming and respectful. From the young lady at the front desk to the nurse and everybody working there, they are knowledgeable, warm and don't treat you like a sick person. The treatments went and are still going well for me (I am in the maintenance phase). I heard that others respond differently, but they ask you before each treatments how you feel, how went the last one, if you feel comfortable repeating the last level you had... The machine looks impressive, but, trust me, after the adjustments at the beginning and the few first treatments, you get use to it and feel it less and less. I personally am able to converse with them during the treatment and forget that I am receiving it. Like I told them often, the staff there is half the treatment. You share what you want and you learn about them as much as they learn about you.

The result for me is impressive. I had that "hamster" in my head each night keeping me awake and waking me up every few hours with all the worries of the day. Well, it is gone! I didn't sleep that good since years. My reaction to the daily challenges is back to a normal level and even better than before my trauma. I feel free to live my life without the weight of the world on my shoulders. I have no memory loss like some other treatments can bring.

One suggestion, don't read too much before you talk to the doctor. I didn't and it scared me because I found some information that didn't even belong to that kind of treatments and it scared me for nothing. If you need real answers, you will find it with them.

If you are a veteran with PTSD, VAC will pay for it and trust me, it will be worth the time you invest in it. "

"One of my military veteran patients received TMS with Dr Taplin and his team and I didn’t expect the results that I saw. We’d been working on improving his depression and ptsd for the past few years, but nothing has worked for him like TMS. On our visit after his last treatment he came into my office smiling, more relaxed, with increased animation and facial expression. It’s so warming to see him feeling better! I’ll be sending more of my patients for TMS treatment."

"Very professional and helpful! The treatments have really helped me to reduce my symptoms and regain some control of my life. Highly recommend TMS Life"

"I recently underwent transcranial neuromodulation treatment, a significant milestone in my journey as a disabled veteran with 37 years of service across various aspects of the CAF. Throughout my retirement, I've grappled with PTSD, anxiety disorder, and chronic pain. Countless treatments and medications were tried, yet the haunting grip of anxiety persisted, making sleep an elusive sanctuary filled with the relentless replay of past experiences.

Enter transcranial neuromodulation. This treatment has been a transformative force in my life, altering the way I respond to past anxieties. It has effectively stripped away the physical sensations that used to accompany these memories, granting me the freedom to acknowledge and disregard them, finally paving the way for peaceful sleep.

I cannot overstate the efficacy of this treatment for individuals facing similar challenges. My recommendation knows no bounds; transcranial neuromodulation has proven to be a game-changer. Dr. Tappin and his team demonstrated unparalleled professionalism throughout the procedure and in monitoring my progress. Their expertise was instrumental in guiding me toward these remarkable improvements.

For anyone battling the haunting echoes of trauma, I wholeheartedly endorse this treatment as a beacon of hope and transformation."
