What Optimum TMS does

Optimum TMS (legal entity Metro Psychiatry Inc., DBA Optimum Wellness & TMS) is a single-location interventional psychiatry practice in Columbus, Ohio, founded in 2017 by Dr. Mark Blair, an ABPN board-certified psychiatrist and U.S. Air Force veteran with 25+ years of clinical experience. The clinic treats adults and adolescents with depression, OCD, and treatment-resistant mental health conditions that have not responded to standard medication, serving patients primarily through self-referral and provider referral, including a coordinated pathway for veterans via TRICARE East, VA Community Care, and Humana Military.

The practice operates four interventional modalities under one roof: Standard TMS (BrainsWay Deep TMS and NeuroStar systems, 36 sessions over 6-8 weeks for depression and OCD); Accelerated TMS (a compressed 5-day, 50-session self-pay protocol); Spravato (FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression, administered in dedicated private suites); and IV Ketamine infusion therapy (off-label, self-pay). A fifth offering, BrainAge diagnostic scans, analyzes 187 brain characteristics in a single 30-minute resting-state session. Treatment is overseen by Dr. Blair with a team of five Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners and operational/administrative staff.

The business model combines insurance-reimbursed care (Standard TMS, Spravato, TMS for OCD, TMS for Teens) with self-pay services (Accelerated TMS at $7,500 flat, IV Ketamine at $450/session or $2,400 per 6-session series, BrainAge scans at $50). The clinic is in-network with 30+ insurance carriers including commercial plans, Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE East, and VA Community Care, and handles insurance verification and prior authorization in-house. Go-to-market is sales-led via a content-driven website, an online 90-second qualification survey, and a referral program for community clinicians and the VA. The practice is founder-owned with no disclosed external financing or parent company.

Emerging players

• Cerebral: Online mental health platform offering medication management and counseling for anxiety and depression; emerging player addressing the same patient demand through a digital-only model with no interventional capacity.
• Brightside Health: Telehealth mental health provider focused on anxiety and depression treatment including medication and therapy; partial overlap with Optimum's treatment-resistant depression segment via digital-only delivery.
• Talkiatry: Telepsychiatry group employing psychiatrists for medication management of depression and related conditions; competes for the same patient population though without in-person interventional modalities like TMS.

Direct peers

• Pasithea Clinics: Operates ketamine infusion clinics for depression and other mental health conditions; directly comparable IV ketamine service line and self-pay model targeting treatment-resistant patients.
• Greenbrook TMS: Largest U.S. operator of TMS clinics focused on treatment-resistant depression; directly comparable service line (Deep TMS, NeuroStar) and payer mix, but operates at multi-site national scale rather than single location.
• Amen Clinics: Multi-site brain health and psychiatry practice offering SPECT imaging and brain-health assessments; directly comparable BrainAge-style diagnostic service alongside psychiatric treatment.

Broad incumbents

• Mindpath Health: Large outpatient psychiatric group practice with in-office and telehealth delivery across multiple states; comparable mental-health patient base and insurance-billing orientation but broader therapeutic focus.
• Acadia Healthcare: Largest U.S. operator of inpatient psychiatric hospitals; broad incumbent in behavioral health with growing outpatient and interventional psychiatry exposure that competes for the same treatment-resistant patient pool.
• BrainsWay: Manufacturer of the Deep TMS system that Optimum uses; supplies hardware and clinical protocols to most U.S. TMS clinics, making it both a supplier and a category-defining incumbent.
• Neuronetics: Manufacturer of the NeuroStar TMS system used by Optimum; also operates treatment centers, combining hardware vendor and clinic operator roles. Comparable as a competitor and as a partner.
