Our New Patient Coordinator is here to help. It is understandable for patients and their families who have been affected by neurological conditions to feel frustrated and uncertain about what to do. Some have even lost hope that treatment can improve the condition.

MeRT is a completely non-invasive, painless and safe treatment protocol that has helped many patients improve their quality of life and, in some cases, fully restore brain function. We have some understanding of what you may be going through.  We want to help by providing information and support so you can make informed decisions about whether or not MeRT is the right treatment for your child.

It doesn’t cost anything to contact us and talk about what is happening. Our New Patient Coordinator is here to help you in any way she can. She will listen and understand. She is able to explain the process and protocols, costs, possible insurance benefits, and any other details you want to know. She can answer your questions. There are no obligations and she will take the time you need to know whether or not you should take the next steps.

How to determine…

Is MeRT the Right Treatment for a Traumatic Brain Injury?

If you’ve heard about MeRT or maybe read some of this website, you may be interested but uncertain if MeRT is the right treatment for you or your child. However, this is not something you need to decide on right away as there are many steps before making a much more informed decision.

The very first thing you can do is a simple phone consultation with our New Patient Coordinator. In this call, you can ask all the questions you want and discuss your symptoms and history. She can explain the protocols, fees, and details of treatment.

The next step is also very simple. We can set up two appointments. The first appointment would simply involve an EEG, which is a completely painless and non-invasive brain scan. This takes about 45 minutes. The second appointment, several days later, once we have the results of the EEG and these have been analyzed, would be a consultation with the doctor.

At this one-on-one consultation, the doctor will discuss the results of the imaging and diagnostics and what may or may not be treatable with MeRT. He will answer any additional questions that you may have, and together you can determine if MeRT would be a beneficial treatment and what that treatment would entail.

If you and the doctor then decide to move forward with MeRT, the first thing that is done is what we call the Assessment Period, where we will perform a short period of treatment, followed by a new EEG to see if you or your child are responding well to the treatment. This determination is assessed, based on the new EEG results, as compared to the initial testing done at the start of treatment, as well as any symptom improvements.

If there is a positive response to treatment during the assessment period, you will have most likely seen symptom improvements starting to take place, and we can then schedule for the additional treatment duration.
