About Rewire

Bringing TMS to South Africa

A clinic built on the belief that patients deserve access to treatments that genuinely restore health and happiness.

Our Mission

Another step toward recovery

Rewire TMS Clinics is passionate about helping patients with severe mental illness find another
step to recovery.

Founded by Dr Stastny in 2021, we offer access to, and promote awareness of, transcranial magnetic stimulation. TMS is an FDA-approved treatment for treatment-resistant depression, refractory OCD and other neurological and psychiatric conditions. Our vision is for TMS to become accessible and affordable throughout South Africa.
