“I wish I could work with my dad one day because I want to help people…”
About Us
The NeuroHealth Center was inspired by Frank and Mary Plut, parents of Frankie, an autistic child.
Devoted to Serving Autistic Patients
After years of searching for ways to help their son, the Pluts, who live in Hackettstown, NJ, took Frankie to a PrTMS center in California. Frankie underwent 20 treatments … emerging as a different child.
The Plut’s were so inspired by the outcome – and the kindness and compassion they received from others – that they decided to devote their lives to helping families facing the challenges of autism. So, they partnered with Dr. Kevin Murphy, the founder of Peak Logic® and creator of PrTMS, to bring this state-of-the-art therapy to New Jersey.
The center is devoted to serving autistic patients like Frankie who – as his way of giving back –someday wants to work here with his dad so he can also help other people.
Frankie tells his own story.
