Our History Is Personal

Salience TMS Founder Tim Kriske was approached in 2011 by leaders in the TMS community to help them grow TMS treatment across the U.S. Their explanation of neuroplasticity reminded him of his brother who was a US Marine and suffered a traumatic brain injury. After many doctors couldn’t assist him, one neurologist took a chance and helped him regain mobility and speech. The theory was that his brain rerouted his neurocircuitry, enabling him to recover through the science of neuroplasticity. Inspired by the neurologist who took a chance with his brother, Tim decided that every person deserves an opportunity to work with the most clinically current doctors and to understand all of their available treatment options.

We began our TMS clinic with one doctor and one employee in 2011. Since then, we’ve rapidly grown, utilizing the research and insights from treatments to continually refine and enhance our protocols to improve our patient outcomes. Our focus is on connecting patients to a better healthcare experience. With our team today and partnerships with the leading TMS research providers around the globe, we continue to refine our work with a patient inspired approach, developing enhanced treatment protocols and delivering superior results.

"After a lifelong battle with depression and several medications that only half-way helped, I had very little hope left in finding a successful treatment of any kind. But after some hesitation, I finally decided to commit to TMS treatment."
