Welcome to Compassion Neurohealth! We are one of the first Precision TMS clinics because we capture neuro network activity with electro encephalography (EEG), then we map it to your brain with Holographic Algorithm for Localization and Optimization (HALO) and share this clinical decision support findings with our MD for targeting via a structural MRI and neuro navigated TMS! Yes it’s a lot more than most TMS clinics, and our outcomes show its worth it.
To achieve the best patient outcomes in mental health through precision neuroscience and compassionate care
Combine advanced medical technology, neuroscience, and personalized care to help patients restore brain health and reclaim their lives.
Compassion Neurohealth began with a shared mission between two West Point graduates who had both experienced firsthand how complex and misunderstood brain injuries can be.
Dr. Russ Toll, a 2005 graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, served as an Army officer during the war in Iraq. During his deployment, Russ survived a blast injury that forced him to confront the realities of traumatic brain injury and the invisible wounds carried by so many who serve.
Later in his Army career, Russ served as a Casualty Officer, supporting the families of wounded and fallen soldiers. During this time, he also spent time at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, visiting soldiers who had suffered devastating blast injuries in combat.
What he saw left a lasting impression.
He encountered extraordinary young men and women — courageous soldiers rebuilding their lives after traumatic injuries and amazing clinicians treating them. But he also saw that the technology available to understand and treat brain injuries was still limited.
That experience planted a seed.
Russ became determined to dedicate his life to advancing the science of the brain and improving the tools used to diagnose and treat neurological conditions.
After leaving active duty, he pursued that mission at Stanford University, where he worked in the Neuroscience Department, studying the brain and exploring how emerging technologies could improve the treatment of conditions like traumatic brain injury, depression, and PTSD. He earned his PhD in neuroscience and moved to DFW with his wife and three kids. While working as a professor at a local medical center, he trained MDs how to use TMS and EEG. Later he and Heidi opened the clinic doors.
Around that same time, Bret Petkus, also a West Point graduate and Army veteran, was navigating his own journey.
Years after his military service, Bret learned that he had suffered a traumatic brain injury while playing football at West Point. He was admitted to the local hospital for a TBI and has no memory of that event whatsoever. Seeking answers, he reached out to a fellow West Point graduate he knew was working in neuroscience — Dr. Russ Toll.
Russ told him something surprising.
A new neuroscience clinic had just opened in Southlake, Texas, and Russ suggested they meet there to talk.
Bret’s response was simple.
“That’s amazing… I live in Southlake.”
The two met at the clinic and quickly realized they shared a common mission.
Russ would lead the science and neuroscience innovation, and Bret would focus on building the business and expanding access to the technology so more patients could benefit from it.
That partnership became Compassion Neurohealth.
Today, Compassion Neurohealth combines advanced neuroscience, precision brain mapping, and compassionate care to help patients suffering from depression, traumatic brain injury, PTSD, and other neurological conditions.
Our mission is simple:
Combine advanced medical technology, neuroscience, and personalized care to help patients restore brain health and reclaim their lives.
