Novus Neurology, Psychiatry & TMS

Novus Neurology, Psychiatry & TMS offers Spravato esketamine treatment in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, for adults with treatment resistant depression and major depressive disorder with suicidal thoughts. Patients self administer the nasal spray in the office, then stay about two hours while staff monitor blood pressure, oxygen levels, and side effects. A driver is required after each session.

Treatment runs twice a week during the initial phase, with frequency reduced as symptoms improve. Regular check ins let the clinician adjust the plan over time.

The practice was founded by Dr. Timothy Prestley, a neurologist trained at UAB School of Medicine with more than 10 years of experience. Novus combines neurology, psychiatry, neuropsychology, and physical therapy under one roof, which helps when depression overlaps with neurological conditions. BrainsWay Deep TMS is also available, FDA cleared for depression, anxious depression, OCD, and smoking addiction. The clinic serves Tuscaloosa, Northport, and West Alabama.
