When you need the best personalized precision treatments available for your mental health and well being... Give our precision neuromedicine clinics a call. We specialize in rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) and approved psychedelic treatments with a holistic approach to preventative mental health care. We offer effective treatments for major depressive disorder, PTSD, OCD, anxiety disorders, ADHD, autistic spectrum disorder, pain disorders, brain injury and long-haul COVID. We offer accelerated rTMS including accelerated theta-burst protocols for rapid and complete resolution of symptoms of depression and PTSD in as little as one to two weeks. We now offer magnetic peripheral nerve stimulation (mPNS) treatments for chronic pain. We have a special interest and considerable experience in the treatment of veterans, military and first responders.

rTMS for Treatment-Resistant Depression is Publically-Funded by Alberta Health
The recent pandemic and health care crisis across Canada especially in mental health care has made it critical that patients can access necessary treatments like rTMS. At Precision NeuroClinics, we are firm believers in a public funded system and maintain the policy that rTMS treatments for treatment-resistant depression are delivered free of charge under direct supervision of a psychiatrist.

About Us
We are an interventional psychiatry sub-specialty clinic in College Plaza in Edmonton, AB. We began in order to fill a gap in mental health services. Our focus on patient-centered care and improved outcomes has allowed us to develop care pathways that incorporate the best technologies for effective treatment delivery. We are a multidisciplinary team that includes therapists, physicians and experts in functional neuroimaging. Our Medical Director is Dr. Kevin Morin, a psychiatrist and pioneer of clinical rTMS and outpatient psychedelic treatments in the Edmonton Zone. He is Associate Clinical Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Alberta and has published numerous scientific articles and patents in metabolic and functional imaging and in the Precision Clinical Medicine arena. He has extensive clinical experience and has lectured and taught medical students and residents for more than two decades at the University of Alberta and at Alberta Hospital Edmonton. Our Director of Clinical Services and Research is Dr. Param Bhardwaj. We are experts in the use of neuroimaging technologies to improve the accuracy of delivery, safety and effectiveness of clinical rTMS and approved psychedelic treatments. Our clinical expertise and strategies for minimizing benzodiazepines and Z-drug (Zopiclone and Zolpidem) use during rTMS and optimization of psychedelic treatments has led to improved outcomes.
Neuronavigated rTMS
It is clear from published studies that when rTMS is delivered with image-guided technology (neuronavigation) then better outcomes are observed. It is known that small deviations in targeting the stimulation site in the brain can lead to treatment failure. Neuronavigated rTMS is a more personalized treatment approach. Clinically meaningful response to treatment occurs in the majority (greater than 60%) but not everyone and so there are no guarantees that rTMS treatment will be effective for everyone but we try and optimize all variables that may contribute to a good outcome. For example, we will work with you and your healthcare providers to minimize benzodiazepine and Z-drug use which is known to contribute to poor outcomes with rTMS treatment. Ideally, we attempt to minimize benzodiazepine use before rTMS treatment is initiated. Although many patients may have MRI or CT scans of their brain when they come to PNC, this is not absolutely required as we can use a standard template for accurate neuronavigation that is warped depending on the size and shape of the head. rTMS treatments usually require 20 to 30 sessions over 4 to 6 weeks.
Approved Psychedelic Treatments
Psychedelic treatment has emerged as revolutionary new safe and effective treatment option and has received approval from Health Canada for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder. We are authorized to prescribe oral formulations and intranasal spray formulations of psychedelic medication for treatment-resistant depression with profound effects that can be extremely rapid. We are experienced and authorized to provide approved psychedelic treatment in a safe and comfortable environment and these treatments have demonstrated rapid and significant antidepressant effects. We have provided hundreds of successful psychedelic treatments. An initial course of treatment with an approved oral or intranasal psychedelic for major depressive disorder involves eight initial treatments (2 treatments per week over 4 weeks) then treatments that are less frequent and tailored to individual response to treatment.
Evidence-based precision treatments and measures. Measuring up the options
At PNC, we specialize in evidence-based precision medicine by specializing in measurement. All of our neuronavigation equipment and software, MRI and CT-image data processing and display software, clinical measuring devices and TMS devices are CE-compliant and approved for clinical use by Health Canada and FDA in the USA. We measure outcomes diligently and offer the best value for your investment in your mental health and well being.
