“I’m two or three months past my last treatment, and I can honestly say my brain is in a better place than it was before. The emotional highs and lows I was living with have been stabilized. My cognition took off during that period and it hasn’t slowed down since.”
– Nick Hardwick (Retired NFL Center, Chargers)
We use a non-invasive, no-radiation scan called a qEEG (quantitative EEG or brain scan) which uses delicate sensors to detect your brain wave patterns. With this, we can identify exactly which areas of your brain are inhibited or under-active. Then we treat those exact areas with custom-generated magnetic waves that provide the stimulation your brain needs. We call this Magentic E-Resonance Therapy or MeRT. It’s similar to TMS but much more customized to your exact situation. We have seen improvements in a wide range of neurological and psychological conditions such as Depression, PTSD, Autism, Traumatic Brain Injuries, and many others.
We’re proud to support the Autism Society of Southern Arizona, Operation Resource Arizona, the National Alliance on Mental Illness or NAMI, and Paths for Heroes.

In the third week, something happened. The family was driving around sight-seeing when they realized that they were getting lost in the California desert. Mary and Frank began to argue, and right in the midst of it, the moment they had waited six years for finally came. “I remember he said a seven-word sentence basically to the effect of ‘I want you two to stop fighting.’ And it shocked me so much that I almost stopped breathing,” Frank recounts. “I looked at my wife and said ‘Do you realize what just happened? He just said a seven-word sentence.’ I had tears in my eyes, and I was happy at the same time. He was so upset that it pushed these words through.
From there, Frankie’s progress snowballed. They returned home after only a month, but the difference between the child who arrived in California and the one who left was striking. They had taken a video of Frankie on the plane when they started the journey, “and he’s just making baby babble,” Frank says. “We have another video of him on the plane coming back. And he looks out the window and says, ‘Goodbye California, see you soon.’ This was a nonverbal kid, 30 days later. And his feet are flat on the ground.”
Doctors said Frankie would continue to improve even without regular MeRT albeit a bit slower. Today, he is 11 years old, verbal, and attends a public school. He tells Frank stories about times when he wanted to speak but couldn’t. “He goes ‘You know, I’m so glad we went to the brain treatment because now I can talk,’” says Frank.
You may still have a lot of questions about whether MeRT is the right treatment for you. And our New Patient Coordinator is here to help you! She’ll take the time to listen, answer questions, explain costs, and put your mind at ease. She can also assist you in getting scheduled should you decide to move forward with treatment.
Think of it this way: Making one free call can be the first step in freeing yourself from the symptoms of your condition.
