Neuropsychology

Juris Medicus presently has 6 board‑certified, PhD level neuropsychologists on its panel. They can evaluate treatment rendered in a case and also provide assessments for both pediatric and adult clients.

A neuropsychologist is a psychologist who specializes in understanding the relationship between the physical brain and behavior or thinking. They frequently evaluate and diagnose patients experiencing memory difficulties, mood disturbances, learning difficulties, and nervous system dysfunction. Patients suffering from a stroke, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and traumatic brain injuries will often come under a neuropsychologist’s care. With these conditions, a neuropsychologist can help determine a degree/stage of impairment, a baseline of the disease process for determination of progression and decreased function, and a treatment plan to optimize learning opportunities.
