What is TMS
Targeted brain stimulation, without the pills.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) uses focused magnetic pulses to gently activate the areas of the brain that regulate mood. These circuits are often underactive in depression. You stay awake and comfortable, then get on with your day.
Every protocol at Goldstone is designed and adjusted by your physician, and delivered with CloudTMS technology.
- No medication
- No anesthesia
- No IV
- No downtime
A typical TMS course
5 days a week, about 6 weeks
Awake, comfortable, drive yourself home

Why Goldstone
The physician-led difference. Not a TMS mill.
Many TMS centers run on volume. Goldstone is built around time, precision, and a psychiatrist who knows your history.
- 01
Physician-led, never a mill
Your plan is designed and overseen by a psychiatrist, not handed off to a high-volume assembly line.
- 02
Baylor-trained expertise
Founded by Dr. Gibson Anugwom, an interventional psychiatrist trained at Baylor College of Medicine.
- 03
Personalized protocols
Treatment targeting and session plans are tailored to your history, symptoms, and goals.
- 04
Time that feels unhurried
A full 60-minute first evaluation and 20 to 30 minute follow-ups, in a small-practice setting.
- 05
Insurance handled for you
We verify benefits before your first visit and manage prior authorization from start to finish.
- 06
Options beyond TMS
