The Original Brain Treatment Center

Welcome to the Brain Treatment Center Newport Beach

We are proud to be the flagship center for personalized rTMS therapy, having pioneered the use of MeRT®  (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy) here in Newport Beach.

Our clinic was the first in the world to utilize this advanced, EEG-guided form of rTMS, and our team has since become recognized leaders in individualized neuromodulation. 

With over 6,000 patients treated, more than 130,000 treatments delivered, and 20,000+ EEGs reviewed, Brain Treatment Center Newport Beach brings unmatched experience to every treatment plan.

What Makes MeRT So Unique

While MeRT uses the same rTMS technology found in traditional TMS therapy, the difference lies in how precisely it’s tailored.

Instead of applying a single, fixed stimulation pattern, MeRT uses qEEG and EKG data to map each person’s brain activity and identify the exact areas where communication is disrupted.

This allows us to create a fully individualized stimulation protocol—one that reflects your unique brainwave patterns and targets the areas that need support most.
