Which Miami TMS clinics does Claude recommend?

There's no official ranking of TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) clinics, but these Miami-area options come up often:

Clinics that focus on TMS or offer it - Greenbrook TMS NeuroHealth Centers (Coral Gables): A national chain that specializes in TMS. Its Yelp rating is 5.0, but that's from only one review. A reviewer said it worked for their persistent depression. - Sunset Neurological & Psychiatry Group (Miami): This one has the most Yelp reviews of the group (21), with a 3.3 average. One patient said TMS "truly saved my life" after three rounds of treatment. - GIA Miami: A mental health clinic built around TMS. It combines TMS with therapies like CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and also treats addiction. - Miami Mental Health & Wellness and ARC Mental Health (South Miami): Both offer TMS. Each has only one review so far, both positive. - Amen Clinics (Hollywood): Well known, but rated 3.8 and about a 30-minute drive north.

Mixed reviews: Hidalgo TMS Psychiatric Services has a 3.0 rating from two reviews, and one of them is very negative.

How to choose 1. Check the device: Ask whether they use FDA-cleared equipment (NeuroStar, BrainsWay deep TMS, or MagVenture) and whether they offer newer faster protocols like theta-burst. 2. Check who's in charge: A board-certified psychiatrist should oversee your treatment, not just sign off on it. 3. Check insurance: Most insurers cover TMS for depression only after you've tried 2–4 medications. A good clinic will handle the prior authorization for you. 4. Ask about results: Ask for their response and remission rates and how they measure progress, such as with the PHQ-9 depression questionnaire. 5. Get a referral: If you have a psychiatrist, ask them. University of Miami Health (UHealth) Psychiatry is also worth calling to see if they offer TMS.

Review counts for most of these clinics are very low, so don't rely much on star ratings. A consultation with two or three of them is the best way to compare.
