Question 2

What is the referral process?

Accepted Answer

For rTMS eligibility assessment and treatment, family doctors, nurse practitioners, and psychiatrists can fax a letter outlining their patient's current medical history (including past treatment trials), current medications and dosages, and complete past medical history to BrainWave Clinic (fax: 204-417-5266).

For memory consults, medical doctors (specialists or primary care providers), physician or clinical assistants, and nurse practitioners can fax a letter outlining their patient’s relevant medical history and the reason for referral to BrainWave Clinic (fax: 204-417-5266).
