Parent Testimonials:
PQ was such a wonderful experience for our daughter. She did not want to leave!! Throughout her stay, we learned so much from Dr. Konik. His insightfulness, expertise, and compassion were so helpful. PQ gave our daughter the foundation to start to build a new future and we couldn’t have asked for anything more.
We are most grateful to the careful attention we think our daughter received and for Dr. Brian Konik’s work with our daughter and with us. Thank you so much!
