Who books an evaluation in Plymouth

Parents of students at Plymouth Regional High School often call after a teacher or pediatrician raises a concern, and university staff, students and tourism workers often reach out when stress has turned into symptoms that do not go away.
Care for the Plymouth community

Second opinions
If you already have a diagnosis but treatment has not helped, or the label no longer seems to fit, a second-opinion evaluation reviews your history with fresh eyes. Bring past records and a list of medications you have tried.
