The Neuropsychology Department at Medical Center Clinic

The Neuropsychology Department at Medical Center Clinic focuses on brain functioning. A Clinical Neuropsychologist is a licensed psychologist with expertise in how behavior is related to brain structures and systems. In Clinical Neuropsychology, brain function is evaluated by objectively testing thinking skills. A very detailed assessment of abilities is administered, and the pattern of strengths and weaknesses is used to assist with diagnosis and treatment planning. Referrals are typically made to Neuropsychologists because the patient has had complaints or symptoms of cognitive decline/change. Typically referrals are made to diagnose or rule out conditions and to describe their impact on the person’s cognitive functioning.
