Neuropsychological Evaluation
A comprehensive evaluation of physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. The process includes an extended clinical interview, formal cognitive testing, and a feedback session with the patient to explain the results. This is a medical evaluation and the summary report may serve as formal medical documentation.

Baseline Cognitive Testing
This is not a neuropsychological evaluation, simply the testing portion of the assessment. It will not serve as formal medical documentation. The patient will be given a brief summary and the test results to serve as a baseline for comparison or to guide treatment at a later date should an injury occur. The patient will not be provided interpretation or recommendations in a formal report, but this may be discussed further as necessary.
