If you're looking for TMS therapy in Carmel Valley, the practical questions matter as much as the clinical ones: How long are sessions? Can I still do pickup? Will anyone at work notice? Good news on all three. TMS is FDA-cleared for depression and OCD, sessions are short with zero recovery time, and there's no sedation or medication fog, you leave as clear-headed as you arrived.
Clinically, you're in rigorous hands: Dr. Mario Salguero, MD, PhD, a former UC San Diego chief resident, evaluates you personally and oversees every session of your course.
Depression in a high-functioning household is a quiet emergency. The lunches get packed, the meetings get attended, and the person holding it all together is running on fumes nobody sees. If medication hasn't fixed that, or the side effects cost too much, TMS offers a fundamentally different mechanism, with nothing added to your system.
We see parents and professionals from Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Torrey Hills, and Pacific Highlands Ranch who put themselves last on every list. The evaluation takes one appointment. Start there.
