Conditions we treat at our Grand Rapids-area location

Every patient starts with a map of their own brain

Standard TMS uses a fixed protocol for every patient. MeRT begins with a quantitative EEG that records your brainwave patterns, then Dr. Wallace designs a protocol specific to what your EEG actually shows — repeating the EEG at weeks two, four, and six so your protocol adjusts as you respond.

qEEG brain mapping

A comfortable, needle-free brain scan that takes about 20 minutes and drives everything that follows.

Physician-designed protocol

Dr. Wallace reviews your EEG personally and builds a protocol around your specific brainwave patterns.

Daily sessions, six weeks

Monday through Friday at our Grand Rapids-area clinic, with EEG re-evaluation at weeks two, four, and six.

Results you can see
