Refreshing Lives One Patient At A Time
Refresh TMS was founded by Dr. Paula-Ann Francis, MD with a singular vision: to provide comprehensive, patient-centered psychiatric care that focuses on the whole person — not just symptoms. Since opening in 2013, our practice has grown to become a trusted resource for advanced mental health treatment in Weston and the broader South Florida community.
Dr. Francis's integrative approach combines evidence-based psychiatric treatment with innovative therapeutic options, ensuring that every care plan is individualized and collaborative. Our patients are active partners in their care, supported in a respectful and thoughtful environment designed to promote healing, improve function, build resilience, and foster lasting well-being.
Our mission is to cultivate psychological well-being through an empathetic, patient-centered approach to care. We believe that every individual deserves access to advanced, evidence-based treatment delivered with compassion and respect.
At Refresh TMS, we are committed to helping adults achieve meaningful improvements in their mental health, general well-being, clarity of thought, and integration of self. Our approach addresses both conventional psychiatric care and innovative modalities — from medication management to transcranial magnetic stimulation — to create a comprehensive path toward recovery.
Principles that define the Refresh TMS experience
Every treatment plan is built around your unique needs, preferences, and goals — because no two patients are alike
We rely on proven, clinically validated treatments backed by scientific research and real-world outcomes
We create a non-judgmental space where patients feel heard, accepted, and genuinely supported
We continuously integrate the latest advances in psychiatric medicine, including TMS and brain stimulation therapies
We welcome adults of all backgrounds and believe everyone deserves access to quality mental health care
We look beyond symptoms to consider your whole well-being — physical, emotional, and mental — because lasting results come from treating the complete person
From your first conversation to every visit that follows, our focus is on making you feel understood, respected, and genuinely cared for.
There is no standard template for the people we treat, so we don't use one. Dr. Francis takes the time to understand your history, your goals, and the details that make your situation your own, then builds a treatment plan designed specifically for you and lets it evolve as you progress.
Your trust matters to us, and we protect it. Everything you share is handled with strict confidentiality and discretion, in a calm, private treatment environment designed so you can focus on your care with complete peace of mind.
We welcome patients of every background, identity, and experience. Our team listens with openness and respect, works to understand the cultural context that shapes your life and your care, and creates a space where you feel seen and comfortable being fully yourself.
