Veterans

A dedicated route for veterans exploring support for PTSD and depression

This page keeps the old veterans landing content available in the new build, including its focus on non-invasive care, practical next steps, and a clear conversation around coverage and treatment fit.

Built for direct veterans-focused traffic from the old site

This was one of the more specialized WordPress pages, and it was clearly written as a landing route for veterans and their families rather than a generic education page.

Keeping it live matters because it speaks to a specific audience, includes practical expectations, and gives us a stable home for any future veterans-specific updates.

Why This Page Existed

The old site framed TMS as a practical PTSD and depression option for veterans

The veterans route focused on two themes: depression and PTSD relief, and a process that could fit real life without depending entirely on more medication. It highlighted TMS as non-invasive, drug-free, and worth discussing when symptoms remain stubborn.

The page also emphasized coverage and access. R Hope wanted veterans to know that insurance questions could be discussed directly with the clinic and that the team would help navigate approval where possible.

What To Expect

The route gave a simple week-by-week treatment arc

The original copy walked patients through a familiar rhythm: early sessions are about getting comfortable with the team and treatment setup, the middle phase focuses on sleep and anxiety relief, and later weeks often bring more energy, motivation, and improved social engagement.

Even though every patient moves differently, the page tried to make the journey feel less abstract by describing the kinds of changes families often start to notice over the first several weeks.

  • Week 1: learn the process and settle into sessions
  • Weeks 2–4: ongoing assessment, calmer sleep, lower anxiety
  • Weeks 5–8: more energy, stronger motivation, better daily function
Common Questions

It also addressed side effects and insurance fit directly

The old page reassured visitors that side effects are usually mild, with light headache or scalp sensation being the most common issues patients report.

It also said that many insurers require a depression diagnosis, medication history, and prior psychotherapy attempts before approving TMS, which is why the clinic encourages a direct eligibility conversation instead of guesswork.

Clinical Team

The route highlighted a team-based care model

The veterans page introduced Janet Starck, MD, Dr. Rahim, and the TMS technician Jelena Zivkovic as part of a care environment meant to feel consistent, supportive, and easy to navigate.

That same team-centered message still fits the current site: the goal is not only to deliver treatment, but to walk veterans and their families through the process with clarity and follow-through.
