Our Founders experienced
NeuroStar's Impact Firsthand !
Meet our founders Alexis & Monica Schloeter.
The founders of MediSun, Monica and Alexis, discovered NeuroStar technology during a deeply personal journey. Their beloved mother, who had been struggling with Alzheimer's and was unable to function independently, became their inspiration. After just a few treatments with NeuroStar, the transformation was undeniable—her progress gave them hope and a renewed sense of possibility.
Moved by this life-changing experience, Monica and Alexis made it their mission to bring this groundbreaking technology to their clinics. They are committed to offering their patients the same opportunity to experience the remarkable results they witnessed firsthand, empowering others to reclaim their lives and thrive.

What is NeuroStar advanced Therapy (TMS) ?
NeuroStar uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to target key areas of the brain that are underactive in people with depression. It is not ECT (electroconvulsive therapy).
While the exact cause of depression is not known, the leading scientific theory is that it is caused by an imbalance of the brain’s neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that send signals between brain cells.
During a NeuroStar treatment session, a magnet similar in strength to that used in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine is used to stimulate nerve cells in the area of the brain thought to control mood. These magnetic pulses may have a positive effect on the brain’s neurotransmitter levels, making long-term remission possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Transcranial magnetic stimulation ?
Transcranial magnetic stimulation, often referred to as TMS is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. TMS is typically used when antidepressant medications haven’t been effective, have ceased working, or as an alternative to medication.
2. How does TMS work ?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) delivers magnetic pulses to targeted areas of the brain to help improve mood and mental health.
3. How long is TMS treatment ?
A typical initial course of treatment is about 19-37 minutes daily over 4-6 weeks, depending on the individual's needs and treatment plan.
4. Is TMS Therapy covered by my insurance ?
A vast majority of commercial and Medicare plans have recognized the effectiveness of treating depressions with TMS Therapy and now cover TMS as part of their plans.
5. Is TMS Therapy a good alternative for patients who cannot tolerate the side effects of antidepressant medications ?
TMS does not circulate in the blood throughout the body, so it does not have side effects like weight gain, sexual dysfunction, nasuea, dry mouth, sedation, etc. The most common side effects reported during clinical trials were headache and scalp discomfort--generally mild to moderate--occurring less frequently after the first week of treatment.
6. Is TMS Therapy like other alternative therapies that use magnets to treat illnesses ?
No. TMS Therapy involves a unique method of using pulsed magnetic fields for a therapeutic benefit. The intensity of the magnetic field is similar to that of an MRI. These techniques differ radically from the popular use of low intensity, static magnetic fields. Those products deliver weak and undirected static fields that are not capable of activating brain cells. The activation and stimulation of brain cells is a key part of why TMS is so effective.
Indications & Important Safety Information
Adult Indications for Use
The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is indicated for the treatment of depressive episodes and for decreasing anxiety symptoms in adult patients suffering from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from previous antidepressant medication treatment.
It is also intended as an adjunct treatment for adult patients suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Adolescent Indications for Use
NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is indicated as an adjunct for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in adolescent patients (15–21).
Important Safety Information
NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is available by prescription only. A doctor can determine if it is right for you. Results may vary.
The most common side effect is mild pain or discomfort at the treatment site, usually resolving after the first week.
There is a rare risk of seizure associated with TMS therapy (<0.1% per patient).
It should not be used in patients with non-removable conductive metal in or near the head and has not been studied in patients without prior antidepressant treatment.
