let's begin

Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin.

Appointments usually take 2 to 3 hours, and in the case of comprehensive neuropsychological testing can take up to 6 hours (which we split up over several appointments). We will let you know when you schedule your assessment how long you should expect to be with us. Please note, we highly recommend that all patients must be accompanied by a caregiver who knows the patient well; this is because we require a medical and behavioral history of the patient and patients being tested for memory deficits aren't the best at remembering their history.

 

We always try to complete the testing as quickly as possible, however in most cases we can only go as fast as the patient is capable of going. So please come to the appointment prepared for your stay. We have a very comfortable waiting room.

 

For longer testing sessions we take breaks often and in some cases we can split up the testing over two separate appointments if it makes it easier for the patient, or the caregivers.

 

What to expect

your appointment

Before the Appointment

The patient will take their medications and eat their meals as normal. Patients DO NOT need to fast. 

 

The Intake Interview

We'll begin with a detailed interview with the patient and caregivers. Caregivers will be interviewed separately from the patient so they may speak freely of their observations and concerns.

​

Testing

Testing is done separate from caregivers. Testing is done using standardized tests that are specifically correlated to the patient's demographic.

 

Upon the completion of the testing a follow-up appointment will be scheduled.

 

Scoring, Analysis and Report Preparation

We will begin compiling all the test data, observations from her interview and testing, and review any rating scales.

 

We will then prepare a detailed and comprehensive diagnostic report listing observations, test results, diagnosis and suggestions for treatments or referrals.

 

The turn-around time for the report is usually 10 days, however faster turn-arounds can be accommodated in exceptional cases (at additional charge).

 

Feedback Session

The patient and caregivers will return for a 60-minute feedback session either in-person or over Zoom where we will review the entire report and explain the results as well as answer any questions. We will then provide the completed report to the patient. A copy of the report will also be sent to the referring physician, if applicable.

A Message About Our Legal and Ethical Standards:

  • Payment of a fee does not guarantee a patient will receive a particular diagnosis.

  • All our tests include measures that accurately indicate if the patient is putting forth their best effort or if there is evidence of malingering.

  • We are legally and ethically required to document, in the final report, if our tests indicate malingering.

  • Tests where malingering is evident will be deemed invalid, with no diagnosis being assigned.

  • No refunds will be given for any assessment where the results are invalid due to indications that the patient is malingering.
