Beyond Medication

Standard protocols shouldn't be the standard. When medication fails to deliver results, precision technology steps in. We treat the depression that stays behind.

  • TMS is non-systemic. There is no sedation, no anesthesia and no recovery period. You can drive yourself to and from every appointment and return immediately to your daily responsibilities, your family or your duty requirements.

  • TMS is FDA-cleared for Major Depressive Disorder. For patients whose depression is complicated by trauma or the lasting effects of combat stress, TMS may offer meaningful relief by addressing the underlying mood dysregulation that trauma leaves behind. Treatment plans are designed individually by Dr. Fernandez based on each patient's full clinical picture.

  • TMS uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain without surgery, needles or systemic medication. Nothing enters your body. Nothing affects other organs. It is precision treatment, targeted exactly where it is needed.

  • Alamo Heights NeuroWellness is a private clinic in a discreet Alamo Heights location. We work directly with TRICARE and other insurance providers to ensure your treatment is handled with the utmost discretion. Your privacy is not an afterthought here. It is a core part of how we operate.

  • TMS works as a standalone treatment for depression and as an adjunct to medication. For patients who want to reduce or eliminate antidepressants, TMS offers a clinically validated path. For patients who want to enhance the effect of their current medication, TMS works alongside it. The decision is always yours, made in collaboration with your treating physician.

Precision Neuromodulation

TMS — Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation — uses targeted magnetic pulses to activate underactive neural pathways associated with mood regulation. It is not chemistry. It is physics.

Using the MagStim system, treatments deliver precisely calibrated magnetic fields to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the region of the brain most closely associated with depression.

Standard sessions run 19 minutes. Our accelerated iTBS protocol completes in just 3 minutes — the same clinical outcome, built for schedules that cannot afford an hour a day.

The Alamo Heights Standard

Built on more than 30 years of clinical leadership in San Antonio, Alamo Heights NeuroWellness was designed around the needs of patients who expect more — more privacy, more access, more care.

We understand the unique pressures of active duty life, the complexity of veteran transitions and the courage it takes to ask for help. Our environment is quiet, secure and professional. This is a place where you can focus entirely on your recovery.

Privacy: A discreet, private clinic in the heart of Alamo Heights. Not a hospital system. Not a chain. A practice where your privacy is treated with the same seriousness as your care.

Efficiency: Sessions as short as 3 minutes with our iTBS protocol — because getting better should not require you to put your life on hold.

Supervision: Every treatment plan is personally designed and overseen by Dr. Benny Fernandez, MD. His involvement does not end at the evaluation.
