Practice Name: Genesis TMS & Wellness
Location: Fairfax, Virginia
Expansion: Alexandria, VA
Genesis TMS & Wellness, a leading psychiatric practice in Fairfax, Virginia, has successfully expanded its services by incorporating Neurostar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy. This case study highlights the journey of their TMS clinic launch, their expansion to two new locations, and the impact of their digital marketing strategies.
Background
Genesis TMS & Wellness began as a psychiatric practice focused on providing comprehensive mental health services. Recognizing the growing need for alternative treatments for depression and other psychiatric conditions, the practice decided to introduce Neurostar TMS therapy, a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment for depression that had shown promising results.
Here’s Where M.Ad Came In
M.Ad completed a gorgous new website design for Genesis TMS & Wellness to promote the TMS part of their practice. The site is HIPAA compliant and meets Neurostars requirements to be eligible for full ad-spend reimbursement through their co-op program. This involved direct communication with Neurostar’s marketing team to make sure the site was approved so that all ad spend could be reimbursed to the client through Neurostar TMS’s Free Co-Op program.Â
