Contact our New Patient Coordinator for More Information about MeRT
We’re Here to Help – No Pressure, Just Support
Our dedicated New Patient Coordinator is available Monday through Friday to answer any questions you may have—no pressure, no obligation. Whether you’re curious about how MeRT works, want details on the treatment process, or have questions about pricing or insurance, she’s here to provide clear, compassionate guidance.
If you decide you’d like to explore MeRT further, she can assist in scheduling your next steps. This includes a non-invasive brain scan (qEEG) followed by a consultation a few days later.
After your qEEG is completed, Dr. Spencer O. Miller will thoroughly review your results alongside your symptoms to gain a detailed understanding of your brain activity. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through the findings and explain what they may mean for your neurological health.
Hope Begins with Information
We encourage you to reach out and learn more. Gathering information is the first step toward making an informed decision about whether MeRT may be a helpful option for you or your loved one. With a strong track record of success in treating a range of brain-based conditions, we’ve seen many lives change for the better.
At this stage, we’ll help determine whether MeRT is a good fit—and from there, the decision to proceed is entirely yours.
