Dr Fradkin helped me with treatment-resistant depression using TMS.
Valery Dinner Verified Google ReviewI had a great experience at the Village TMS Center for Autism and Depression. The staff is very kind, professional, and truly cares about their patients. They take the time to listen and explain the treatment process clearly.
kibriyo komilova Verified Google ReviewMy son just finished TMS therapy with Village Group Medical. I am pleased to mention pleasant and welcoming atmosphere of this office. It helped my son relax and agree to undergo the therapy.
Yelena Haskin Verified Google ReviewAs an R.N. for decades I’ve had myriad experiences with institutions and providers. It takes a lot to impress me and that’s what Dr Fradkin and his affable staff have done! My treatments have been attended to with integrity, friendliness and skill. They provided scheduling flexibility, cost transparency, and a comprehensive orientation to my TMS treatments with a smile. Thus I have no reservations advocating Village TMS and award Dr Fradkin and his staff an A+.

Raul Ifraimov Verified Google ReviewTMS session with George went great. Even though I just started and it’s a new experience for me, a cautious supervision and guidance of the specialist helps to get through. I had all my questions being answered before the procedure. Will come again!

Sofia Dro Verified Google ReviewHOW OUR TEAM WORKS
Every new patient at Village TMS starts with a psychiatric evaluation by one of our board-certified psychiatrists. That first visit covers your symptoms, your diagnosis history, the medications you have tried and how they went, and your general health. The psychiatrist who evaluates you also writes your treatment plan and follows your progress.
Our psychiatrists provide TMS, Spravato, ketamine treatment and medication management. Because all of these are available in one practice, your recommendation is based on your history, not on the one treatment a clinic happens to offer. You can read how we make that choice on our treatment pathway page.
Talk therapy matters too. Sofia Dro, MA, offers psychotherapy and coaching for individuals and couples in the same office, and we are glad to work with a therapist you already see. Many patients do best when a treatment that acts on the brain is paired with regular therapy.
Dr. Fradkin has more than 25 years of experience and Dr. Bruck more than 15. Both are board-certified and both see patients in English and Russian.
Two board-certified psychiatrists and a psychotherapist, all working from our Fifth Avenue office.
