Hi Jack.. the best way to communicate with Dr. Hutto is by FAX: 678-209-5300. He has always answered promptly by return FAX, and will, I would think, give any information he has about TMS in Los Angeles. I originally called Emory University to ask about joining a TMS study. At that time (last fall), they weren't accepting any new patients, but they recommended Dr. Hutto and one other doctor just outside of Chicago. Dr. Hutto has years of experience with ECT, and several with TMS- he knows just how to give it, and is very careful with placements and intensities- you do want someone who has this knowledge, as the TMS does not spread through the brain the way ECT does. So, in order to get the maximal chance of it helping, not just any doctor will do when it comes to TMS! Once it is FDA-approved and more doctors are well-trained in it, this won't be such a big consideration.
