  I love Katie’s Way Plus! It worked well for me - even with a TBI. The folks there are professional and personable at the same time. I’m a bit “much” for some people, but they take it all in stride and adjust as necessary to make me feel like a valuable person with legit needs and personality. They have no problem providing the proper paperwork to satisfy VA travel pay requirements (and creating the forms, if necessary). The medical part: The actual TMS treatment: you will be wearing a “swim cap”-type thing, topped with a “football helmet”-feeling thing (I never really looked at the things), so if you have tactile sensitivities, be sure to tell them right off. They will work with you on the fitting. I get a bit claustrophobic (PTSD), as well as the tactile issues, and it did give me a bit of trouble once or twice, but they will let you adjust the “swim cap” and strap tightness to your satisfaction before they have to check/arrange it to specs – at which point they will make sure the helmet feels comfortable to you. Not a problem. There will be tapping on your skull that might, possibly, maybe cause a bit of involuntary movements for a second or two, but if that happens KNOW it will go away as soon as they immediately adjust the settings. I looked up the expectations beforehand, so knew that might be an issue, and didn’t freak out – for more than a second or two. Lol. Again, it’s worth the slight adjustment time to get to the good stuff. You can do it. Funny thing is I didn’t even hear the background tick-tick-tick until I’d been through months of treatments. But watching my favorite tv show distracted me altogether. (They can play the tv or not, as you wish.) The results: PTSD/anxiety has been greatly relieved. After most of my VA-authorized sessions, my ability to deal with stress has been enhanced, to the point I don’t go off on “stupid people” nearly as much, nor ruminate over distressing situations for days and weeks. Last Thanksgiving a situation arose that was very annoying, and it took me 2.5 hours on the phone with unhelpful people before I blew up. Then, come to find out if those unhelpful people would have simply said “that’s the wrong password” the call could have been 10 minutes long. Lol. I simply gave them the correct info and went on with my life, no ruminating for days and days over it. That’s a HUGE improvement! PTSD triggers have lessened considerably, also, to the point where I can think before reacting much better than previous to the TMS treatments at Katie’s Way Plus. That definitely makes life better! If you have the opportunity and the need for some (non-chemical) help in the areas they deal with, give them a chance....Read More Read Less

  Woke DEI LOSERS still using 3 genders on their in-take forms. Went in for my first appointment and asked them about this DIRECTLY and the lead "doctor" couldn't answer why, said he didn't care, and gave me a number to corporate offices. You can't be pro-military family and also believe in 3 genders. You should all be ashamed of yourselves....Read More Read Less
