Hi Ray- I waited 3 months for an appointment with a large PT practice, with the PT most knowledgeable and experienced with PN, although offered appointments within a week or two with others. A “senior therapist” or the department head is most likely to be your best bet to ask for.
On the first evaluation visit, I brought copies of my most recent MRI and EMG reports (printed them off from the patient portal), he was very appreciative and took the time to read them carefully. The treatment and instruction he gave was very helpful, I continue to do the home program, and accepted his recommendation to have an ankle foot orthosis made to aid in balance and gait. That was a hard Rubicon to cross for me, but it has made a big improvement in my mobility.
