Nexstim Plc (NXTMH:HEX, NXTMS:STO) ("Nexstim" or "Company") announces that Rockford Psychiatric Medical Services has started using Nexstim NBT System with SmartFocus TMS technology.
Rockford Psychiatric Medical Services is a private psychiatric clinic located in Illinois, US. The clinic's expertise covers a variety of psychiatric clinical services and mental health counselling. The clinic is led by William J. Giakas, MD, who also provides psychiatric consultation for other clinics in the region.

Dr. Giakas commented: "I've recently added the Nexstim SmartFocus TMS to my practice for the treatment of major depression and I could not be more excited to offer this advanced technology to the Rockford region. This system is very sophisticated and personalizes treatment by using the patient's own brain MR images to guide focused stimulation of specific areas of the brain to relieve symptoms. The Nexstim system gives me great confidence in the successful delivery of TMS treatment of depression."
