At the PNP Center, a two day assessment is typically scheduled on a Monday-Tuesday or Wednesday-Thursday and conducted by our team of psychologists, biofeedback specialists, family counselors, medical staff, and other health-care professionals.
Following the 2-day in-person assessment, the at-home portion includes completing any recommended laboratory tests and implementing PNP tools and lifestyle adjustments recommended during Wrap-Up. A PNP professional staff member (Point Person) is assigned to provide status updates, answer questions via phone or email, and help locating treatment resources.
When all test results are received, our team of specialists will review and develop a cohesive assessment report that includes an in-depth analysis and an individually designed treatment plan.
The treatment plan is presented in a comprehensve report mailed to the individual or family.
Upon patient's receipt and review, a teleconference is scheduled to discuss the report, answer questions, and plan future direction.
