What to Expect at Your First Synaptic Psych Appointment
- Request an appointment — Call (615) 224-9800 or request an appointment at hopeforyourbrain.com. Ask Synaptic to check your plan; TMS and Spravato usually need prior authorization.
- Psychiatric evaluation — A Synaptic psychiatrist or psychiatric provider reviews your diagnosis, medication history and health history, then recommends TMS, Spravato, IM ketamine or another treatment.
- Treatment at 3800 Gallatin Pike — TMS runs on a standard daily or accelerated schedule. Spravato and IM ketamine each include about two hours of monitoring in the office, and you can’t drive for the rest of the day, so arrange a ride.

About Synaptic Psych
Synaptic Psych’s East Nashville office is at 3800 Gallatin Pike, Nashville, TN 37216, open Monday through Thursday, 8:30am to 4:30pm, and Friday, 8:30am to 3:30pm. Call (615) 224-9800 or email 3800EastNashville@hopeforyourbrain.com. Synaptic, formerly the NeuroScience & TMS Treatment Centers, describes itself as a physician-owned partnership with no private equity involvement, and it also has offices in Nashville (Belcourt Ave), Brentwood, Franklin and Memphis.
Synaptic has offered TMS since 2011 for depression, treatment-resistant depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder, using NeuroStar and MagVenture systems. Protocols range from standard daily sessions over six to nine weeks to accelerated multi-session protocols such as SAINT over five days, and Synaptic notes that most commercial plans cover 36 sessions over a six- to nine-week course.
Synaptic has offered Spravato (esketamine) since 2021 for treatment-resistant depression and for major depressive disorder with acute suicidal ideation or behavior, taken alongside an oral antidepressant. Under the FDA label, each dose is taken in the clinic under supervision, followed by at least two hours of monitoring. Synaptic also offers intramuscular (IM) ketamine, off-label, in all of its offices for treatment-resistant depression, severe anxiety, PTSD and acute suicidal ideation: each dose is given as two injections 15 minutes apart, vital signs are monitored for two hours, and a typical initial series is six treatments over two to three weeks. After either treatment you can’t drive for the rest of the day, so arrange a ride.
The East Nashville office’s team includes board-certified psychiatrists Ryan Oakley, MD, its medical director, and Brent Necaise, MD, along with nurse practitioners Alexandria Gold Tate, APRN, Sylvia Von Dollen, APRN, Alexandra Harlan Zartman, APRN, and Jesse Jean, APRN.
Synaptic says it is in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Anthem, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, Cigna, Aetna, Medicare, UMR, Oxford, Golden Rule and Meritain, among other plans, and that TMS and esketamine are covered by most insurance plans. It is out of network for TennCare and Medicare Advantage plans; out-of-network patients pay in full at the visit and can request a superbill. Spravato is typically covered only for depression (treatment-resistant depression, or depression with suicidal thoughts), with prior authorization. Ketamine isn’t FDA-approved for depression and is usually self-pay, and Synaptic doesn’t publish prices. To schedule, call (615) 224-9800.
