I am so grateful to and for this place... Dr Sikowitz is a wonderful person, he truly cares, and so does every member of his staff. They are all very empathetic, and they try very hard to make patients feel comfortable. I came to this place in absolute desperation, after 30+ solid years of continuous psychiatric (medication) treatment and various types of talk therapy, some of which helped temporarily but not long-term, and 2022 ended up being the worst year of my life. The TMS Center of NJ helped me to turn this all around, and lift me from a depression so deep... I am just so grateful. I truly feel they helped to save my life. I urge everyone suffering mentally and emotionally to try this, especially if you've tried meds and/or other forms of mental health treatment and they have not worked for you. The TMS treatments initially feel strange, slightly uncomfortable, but they become more and more comfortable as you go along, and for me, after a couple of weeks, it became so soothing I actually fell asleep during some of my sessions. At first it doesn't seem like this would or could happen, but it definitely does. It is nothing like ECT (electroconvulsive therapy), it's completely different, and does not involve shocking. More like a gentle tapping, but it's right onto your head so it's a little uncomfortable at first, but you get used to it, so much so that it becomes really soothing. Best of all, it's very safe, it won't make you sick (as meds did for me), and you'll be surrounded by people who care deeply for their patients. Also, in my opinion, the music they play in the office is AWESOME 🎶

Dr. Sikowitz and his staff are truly amazing! I believe they saved me from myself. The care I received from them is something I never received from any staff before. They actually care about everyone of their patients. TMS is an exceptional treatment that I recommend for everyone. If it can help me it could help anyone!
TMS treatment has been a revelation after suffering with depression for so long. My medication journey has been difficult, but TMS treatment not only has relieved my depression symptoms but lets me know that there is a treatment available when medication has just not been enough. Forever grateful for the care, expertise and compassion served by Dr. S and the entire staff. The doctor truly understands depression and cares for your treatment path. The staff is friendly and warm. Truly a wonderful experience being treated here.
To say that Dr. Sikowitz and the TMS Center saved my life would be an understatement. I suffered with depression for over 35 years and have never felt better in my life! Sure it was daunting at first to make a huge commitment by coming every weekday for weeks but after the first session, I looked forward to coming back each day. The staff that work there are the most attentive, caring, and definitely awesome people you could wish for in a Doctor’s office. Each time you stepped through the door, it was like you were their only patient.
Never did I think I’d ever feel this great. It’s like the black cloud has lifted and there’s a whole new world out there to explore. I almost forgot was it was like to not be depressed. It was beginning to limit my life and my daily activities.
Don’t hesitate if you are considering the TMS Center. Mental health is still so taboo and rarely does anytime talk about TMS. I can assure you, you won’t be disappointed by the care you receive here.

I wanted to wait a few months before writing this review for the Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy I received, as I didn't want to focus solely on the initial experience or the EXCELLENT “bedside manner” of the staff because that goes without saying. Dr. Sikowitz and his team are TOP NOTCH! Instead, I wanted to truly understand and talk about how the effects of TMS continue to benefit me months after my sessions have concluded.
As someone who has been dealing with combat PTSD and severe depression, life was a constant battle. Medication and traditional therapy helped but seemed to plateau after a point. Finding TMS was a turning point. Today, I can genuinely say that this treatment has been life-changing. It provided me with a sense of relief and clarity I hadn't felt in years.
The improvements were gradual, but by the end of the treatment cycle, I noticed significant changes in my mood, concentration, and overall outlook on life. Months later, the positive effects persist, providing me with the ability to cope better and enjoy aspects of life that previously seemed out of reach.
If you're considering TMS, I would highly recommend giving it a chance. It has been a transformative experience for me, and I couldn’t be more thankful for the opportunity to reclaim aspects of my life affected by PTSD and depression."
