I was severely depressed over a period of three years. I tried several antidepressants but nothing really seemed to work. I had a severe allergic reaction. My family was very poorly impacted by the whole problem of my depression. By the end of the TSM treatment, things were better than I could have imagined. After that six week, I was so excited that my life was starting to resume. It could actually get better and that I had more to look forward to.

During that time, it was probably the darkest time in my life. I was sad and miserable all the time. Before when I was going through depression, I felt hopeless. Since TMS, my perspective on life has been so positive that I know there is hope.

I have struggled my whole life with anxiety and depression and after trying a multitude of medications and therapy, TMS was my last hope. I am happy to say that I feel better than I ever have in my entire life and am so grateful to the team at Northshore TMS for all their help.

My experience has been amazing. I had reservations. Dr Carlsen and her staff put me at ease. They were so helpful along the way. Dr Carlsen and her staff addressed any concerns or issues that came up right away. Sherri her billing and insurance person addressed  my issues with my insurance without delay.

TMS has changed my life. I am looked at as funny, charming and outgoing.

Those words were never said before.

I highly recommend TMS, Dr Carlsen and her staff.

Thanks for changing my life!

For the first time in 10-years I not only feel the best I have mentally, but successfully tapered off four psychiatric medications. I would highly advise anyone that feels their current treatment is not making them feel the best to definitely give Dr. Carlsen a call.

Everybody here from the technicians to back-of-house has answered all of my questions and needs promptly.

Dr. Carlsen is an amazing person with a wealth of knowledge and without her and her team I don’t believe I would be in this position.

I know Dr. Andrea Carlsen for many years. She’s incredibly smart and knowledgeable. Her holistic approach towards treatment and the professional standards which she holds for herself, places her in a league of her own. Dr Carlsen is incredibly proficient in her knowledge of medication, supplementation, administration of TMS and overall wellness. Her holistic approach toward treatment sets her apart in her ability to treat and care for her patients. I would recommend her highly for all levels of psychiatry, TMS and functional medicine. Andrea is one of the finest, most sensitive, caring people I know. It is a blessing to know her.

I have been going to see Dr Carlsen since I was 12 years old! She has helped me get through the toughest times of my life… When I was 26 I started doing the TMS treatment in her office and noticed a huge difference. I feel way more focused and can think more clearly. I highly recommend Dr Carlsen and her staff to all my friends and family!

Dr. Carlsen and her team are dedicated, experienced and caring individuals. She is thorough and timely during our visits, she keeps to appointment times. The level of caring is something that is so beneficial to the treatment plan. We have used several different physicians, we would never switch again.

Loved having an empathetic, fully understanding girl administer my treatment everyday. Darn…her name is not coming forward in my brain right now. But I didn’t want to skip this opportunity to give my input. Looking back at my experience back in August 2018, I found it difficult having the kids home for Summer. They don’t attend camps, so we didn’t have a routine. For me personally, I think I would’ve had quicker results had I did it in September and knew my kids would be in school and if I needed that rest after the treatment, I could! Again, if I had a girlfriend experiencing anxiety and depression, I’d tell her how I felt with starting treatment in September. I wish someone steered me towards that alternative, if they knew my situation at home. That’s why I give 4 stars. But maybe Dr Carlsen felt it was more important based on my survey, that I should start ASAP. But what’s more important, is that I feel it improved my brain overall. I’m pretty sure I experience SAD with changed of seasons and lack of sunlight during the day! I know for sure, I was much more ‘alive’ this past Summer, enjoying socializing, sunsets, long days. Humans are social beings, I need my people, my tribe. I lack that social interaction in the Winter. Going into this Fall/Winter, I’m not nearly as anxious as I was last year. I sincerely believe the treatment got me to a place that I could start living life again and doing the things I enjoy doing. Instead of getting through the day and counting the hours till I’m done and can go back to bed. That’s not what God intended me to be. That’s it for now. Thanks for sending this survey out and possibly helping others by my own personal experience.

Empathy, compassion, love are the first words that come to mind when I recall my experience with Dr. Carlsen and her staff, Christina and Donielle. I went in on my knees and they helped me up and forward. There is still much healing to be done. They worked together to get me started. I’ll be forever grateful.

Dr. Carlson was attentive, compassionate and very knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to design a treatment protocol that would help with my depression. It’s because of her and her wonderful team that I’ve realized that I can live a full life, without depression hanging over me.
