Pre-Surgical Psychological Evaluations
These evaluations are for individuals considering invasive pain procedures (e.g., spinal cord stimulators, intrathecal pump). They ensure that you’re mentally and emotionally prepared for the journey ahead by assessing your expectations, readiness, and recovery strategies.
Usually, you’ll receive guidance from your medical provider when it’s time to pursue the psychological evaluation. We would be happy to work with you and your referring provider to complete your evaluation virtually. You can let your provider know your preference to work with us, or you can complete the self-referral form below and we’ll contact them on your behalf.
