Why Choose TMS Institute of Arizona
TMS Institute of Arizona is physician-led, not investor-owned. Dr. Ruchir P. Patel, M.D., FACP, founded the practice and oversees each patient’s care. He is triple board-certified in internal medicine, sleep medicine, and obesity medicine and completed his TMS Fellowship at Duke University.
Many new TMS clinics in Phoenix are owned by business groups, not physicians. In a physician-led clinic, treatment decisions are made by a medical doctor with extensive clinical training in TMS, not a business owner. This difference affects your treatment plan and ensures clear accountability for your outcomes.

Neuromodulation Therapies
Neuromodulation uses magnetic or electrical stimulation to treat neurological and psychiatric disorders by adjusting brain activity to relieve symptoms. At TMS Institute of Arizona, we offer a variety of non-invasive neuromodulation treatments.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment for depression and other mood disorders, available at our Scottsdale office. Using magnetic pulses to stimulate targeted brain areas, TMS helps improve symptoms in patients who have not responded to traditional treatments. Our expert team provides a comfortable, personalized experience to support your mental health journey.
Express TMS offers shorter, high-frequency sessions, standard TMS follows traditional treatment protocols, and Accelerated TMS condenses multiple sessions into a shorter timeframe for faster results.
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) or transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) uses a low-intensity electric current to stimulate brain activity. It is safe, easy to use, and has minimal side effects.
Research suggests tDCS can be an effective alternative to medication, especially for those ineligible for TMS therapy or facing cost barriers. While not as strong as TMS, tDCS is portable, allowing for at-home maintenance after TMS or as a primary treatment for mild depression, ADHD, and cognitive issues.
It may also benefit individuals with Bipolar Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder.
