As of 7 years ago, The Anderson Clinic became the first psychiatrist-run IV ketamine clinic in the state of Ohio. Five years ago, they became 1 of 8 clinics in the nation providing EEG-guided personalized TMS treatment, or PrTMS. Standard TMS treatment only works as well as medications, about 30% of the time. Using an EEG to pinpoint lower-functioning areas of the brain, we can double to triple the efficacy in some cases. Because the treatment is so specialized to the individual, it is safer to use on a wider variety of conditions. In addition to mood disorders, they have improved the outcome for post-stroke victims, ADHD, concussions, post-COVID, and perimenopausal brain fog and is safe to use in people who suffer with epilepsy or who may be pregnant.

“Betsy” Holly Newkirk: I am a nurse practitioner (NP) specializing in cardiology. I care for patients in the Cardiac Catheterization lab at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. I became interested in a nursing career after hearing patient care stories that my aunt, a nurse educator, shared with me. Becoming a cardiac cath nurse practitioner was a great fit as I have always had compassion for children living with congenital challenges. My care philosophy is family-centered, incorporating compassionate care strategies into family dynamics. I encourage families to share information and ask questions that help us care for their children in the best way possible. When I'm not working, I love to run, cook and spend time with my family.
