Finding SAINT® TMS Treatment on the East Coast
SAINT® (Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy) is an FDA-cleared, fMRI-guided accelerated TMS protocol available at a limited number of Verified SAINT® Providers. On the East Coast, Neuro Wellness TMS Centers of America in Coral Springs, Florida offers SAINT® on the Magnus Neuromodulation System. Because SAINT® is completed in five consecutive days rather than six to nine weeks, patients from throughout the East Coast find it practical to travel to Florida for the treatment week. This page explains how to identify a verified provider, why availability remains limited, and what to compare between treatment centers.
Key takeaways
- SAINT® availability on the East Coast is limited because it requires the Magnus system, fMRI targeting, and specialized staff.
- Only Verified SAINT® Providers use the FDA-cleared Magnus Neuromodulation System with fMRI-guided targeting.
- The five-day schedule makes traveling for treatment practical for many East Coast patients.
- Always verify a provider uses the Magnus system and fMRI targeting before committing.
- Neuro Wellness in Coral Springs, Florida serves patients from across the East Coast.
How to Identify SAINT® Providers
SAINT® is not the same as generic 'accelerated TMS.' Only providers using the Magnus Neuromodulation System with SAINT Technology and fMRI-guided targeting offer the actual SAINT® protocol. A clinic offering accelerated TMS on a different device — even if the schedule is similar — is not offering SAINT®.
To identify a legitimate SAINT® provider, ask directly whether they use the Magnus Neuromodulation System, whether targeting is based on a functional MRI, and whether they are listed as a Verified SAINT® Provider. These are the defining features of the FDA-cleared SAINT® protocol.

Why Availability Remains More Limited Than Traditional TMS
Traditional TMS devices like NeuroStar and BrainsWay are installed in thousands of clinics nationwide. SAINT® requires the Magnus Neuromodulation System, access to functional MRI scanning, proprietary software that computes an individualized stimulation target from brain connectivity data, and clinical staff trained on the accelerated ten-sessions-per-day schedule.
These requirements mean that only a limited number of clinics are Verified SAINT® Providers. As a result, patients searching for SAINT® on the East Coast may find that the nearest verified provider is not in their city, and expanding the search radius — or traveling — may be necessary.
Why Patients Sometimes Travel for SAINT®
The five-day SAINT® schedule changes the calculus on travel. Instead of commuting to a clinic 36 times over six to nine weeks for traditional TMS, a patient travels once, stays locally for one week, and completes the entire SAINT® course. For many patients, this is more manageable than a long daily commute — especially those whose work or family commitments make a six-week schedule difficult.
Patients from throughout the East Coast — including New York, New Jersey, the Carolinas, Georgia, and other states — travel to Coral Springs, Florida for SAINT®. The care team can help coordinate the consultation, imaging, and treatment week, and provide recommendations for nearby lodging.

How to Compare SAINT® Treatment Centers
Whether you are comparing providers in Florida or elsewhere on the East Coast, the same evaluation steps apply:
- Confirm they use the Magnus Neuromodulation System with SAINT Technology.
- Verify that targeting is based on a functional MRI, not scalp measurements alone.
- Ask how many SAINT® patients they have treated and who supervises the medical care.
- Request a clear explanation of total cost and insurance verification.
- Ask about the follow-up plan if symptoms return after treatment.

Understanding SAINT® TMS: How It Works & What to Expect
SAINT® is an FDA-cleared treatment for adults with major depressive disorder who have not improved on antidepressants in the current episode. These videos explain how it works and how it differs from conventional TMS.
SAINT® is an FDA-cleared, fMRI-guided form of TMS developed at Stanford. Most patients complete treatment in one week — not the six weeks standard TMS requires.

Is SAINT® TMS Right for You?
Tried antidepressants without enough relief? SAINT® TMS is an FDA-cleared, fMRI-guided treatment for adults with major depressive disorder who have not improved enough with antidepressant medication.
SAINT® uses a personalized brain target and delivers treatment over five consecutive days. It differs from standard TMS in its targeting approach, treatment schedule, and research background. In a small randomized trial, 11 of 14 people receiving active treatment reached remission at the four-week assessment, compared with 2 of 15 receiving sham treatment. Results vary, and a five-day treatment course does not guarantee remission in five days.
How SAINT® Works and How It Differs From Conventional TMS
SAINT® is an FDA-cleared treatment for adults with major depressive disorder who have not improved on antidepressants in the current episode. This video explains how it works, and how it differs from conventional TMS.
Conventional TMS usually means about 30 visits over 6 to 9 weeks. SAINT is five visits over five days.
What makes it different: SAINT is the only FDA-cleared depression treatment that uses an fMRI scan to personalize the stimulation target to your individual brain. A 45-minute scan maps your brain and identifies the specific circuit linked to depression. Treatment is then delivered as ten 10-minute sessions per day, with 50-minute breaks between them, across five consecutive days.
In clinical trials, 79% of participants reached remission, with an average of 2.6 days to remission. SAINT is generally well tolerated; the most common side effects reported were mild headache and temporary scalp discomfort at the treatment site.

How do I find a SAINT® provider on the East Coast?

You can verify a provider's status by asking whether they use the Magnus system and perform fMRI-based targeting. Neuro Wellness TMS Centers of America in Coral Springs, Florida is a verified provider serving East Coast patients.
Why is SAINT® harder to find than traditional TMS?
SAINT® requires the Magnus Neuromodulation System, fMRI scanning capability, proprietary targeting software, and staff trained on the accelerated five-day protocol. Traditional TMS devices are installed in thousands of clinics, but the Magnus system is available at far fewer sites. This is why many patients expand their search beyond their local area.
Can I travel from out of state for SAINT® in Florida?
Yes. Patients from other East Coast states and beyond travel to Coral Springs for SAINT®. The five-day schedule means you travel once and stay locally for one week, rather than commuting to a clinic 36 times over six weeks.

What should I compare between SAINT® treatment centers?
Confirm the provider uses the Magnus Neuromodulation System with fMRI-guided targeting, ask how many SAINT® patients they have treated, who supervises medical care, what the total cost is, whether they verify insurance, and what the follow-up plan is. A provider that cannot confirm these details may not offer the actual SAINT® protocol.
