If you have tried it all and are still looking for relief, Dr. Best, a Psychiatrist & Neuropsychiatrist, is a nationally recognized mental health expert who is here to help with appointments available this week. As an advanced brain stimulation clinic, we specialize in advanced, evidence-based treatments for people who have not found relief with traditional approaches. We offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive treatment, and pioneered the TMS/ketamine treatment. Individualized treatment plans include support for anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, ADHD, and more.
Have you tried a number of treatments and they haven't really worked? There could be underlying medical conditions that are contributing to your mental suffering. After thorough testing, we will offer treatments that are tailored to you, with the intent that you will experience relief from your suffering and return to everyday life and your community.
Our clinic, conveniently in Deerfield, IL, provides a welcoming and supportive environment for all patients. Have questions? Give us a call. We're happy to answer your questions, explain our approach, and help you decide whether The Neuroscience Center is the right fit for you.
