Testing for genetic interactions to medications on the market.
At Duluth TMS, we offer a warm atmosphere for people looking to better their life. Whether it’s with TMS, Spravato (esketamine) treatments, or psychiatry, we want all patients to know that this is a safe, welcoming space. Come as you are, and we’ll grow together.
Our clinic offers telehealth psychiatry with our partnered providers, as well as in-office treatments. Have you been struggling and haven’t found a solution? Have you heard of the brands below? WE HAVE. It’s insanity to try the same thing over and over, expecting different results. It’s time to try something new.
Duluth TMS treats patients with either a Brainsway system, or a MagStim system. Both offer Theta Burst Stimulation (TBS) through repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). It’s a safe, effective way to treat depression under a shorter timeline. The Brainsway system offers deep TMS, which targets deeper brain structures than the traditional 8-coil system, which we use with MagStim. Both are great holistic treatments that require no downtime, and little to no side effects.
TMS results at our Duluth location are outstanding. 80% or more of our patients say that this treatment worked better than any medication they ever tried to alleviate their depression. Many say that it also helped with their anxiety, cravings, sleep, and memory. There are different protocols, but most insurances will cover TMS for depression with a prior authorization. We do the hard part, so you can finally find relief!
Medication isn’t a bad thing – in fact, it works better in conjunction with our holistic alternatives. Duluth is offering telehealth appointments for psychiatry, including medication management, genetic testing for medication absorption, and referring to Spravato, sleep studies, TMS, in house Alpha Stim purchases and trials, and eventually IV Ketamine. Maybe you’re looking for a second opinion from an expert. We choose to live rurally, but that doesn’t mean you are stuck seeing someone who doesn’t have the expertise to navigate you through a new treatment modality.
Our providers are also constantly researching new ways to treat patients! If you aren’t satisfied or feel like your side hasn’t been heard, we want to help you. Give Duluth TMS a shot.
Testing for genetic interactions to medications on the market.
Holistic options proven effective to help patients with anxiety and depression.

Refer to sleep studies and interpret results.
Dr. Johnson is a VNS certified provider, which is an implant that is done under general anesthetic during an outpatient visit at a surgery center. This is for stubborn depression that hasn’t changed with TMS, medication, and sometimes ECT (though ECT is not necessary). The surgery is considered safe, but the implant does need to be monitored.
VNS (Vagus Nerve Stimulator) is a battery-powered implant that generates electrical pulses under the skin and chest to wires wrapped around the left vagus nerve. Dr. Johnson refers to surgery, completes all necessary paperwork, and monitors the device through outpatient services. This must be done in person, as the device is checked with a wand.
Some medication might not work because genetically, you cannot process the drug. That’s where Genesight comes to play. The doctor orders your test and samples can be taken at your home or by stopping by the clinic for a quick swab. Genesight bills your insurance for the test, and they work out all the necessary steps to make sure patients pay very little of the actual cost. Over 95% of patients pay $330 or less for their test (most pay nothing).
Test results can be a complete shock. It’s validating as an individual who has advocated for their health and has look of “you must be making this up” by countless providers.

Spravato (Esketamine) is an FDA, insurance covered treatment offered at Duluth TMS when other treatments aren’t doing the trick. This is prescribed to severely depressed patients who have been suicidal, who are suffering from PTSD, and TMS wasn’t the fix-all option for you. It also works wonders right after you’ve had TMS, because the synapses in your cerebral cortex are firing at a higher rate than typical. Spravato latches onto those new gateways and pumps positive emotions back into your brain.
If you’re interested in this, one of our providers can do a quick assessment to verify that you meet all necessary criteria and can discuss the commitment. These appointments are about 2-hours, twice a week, and you cannot drive home after they are finished.
