Neuropsychological Evaluations for Legal & Medical Proceedings
Sometimes a neuropsychological evaluation is needed not just for a diagnosis, but to document cognitive functioning for legal, medical, or administrative purposes. Clary Clinic provides comprehensive evaluations that can support attorneys, courts, and medical decision-makers — grounded in the same thorough, one-patient-per-day approach we bring to every evaluation.
When this type of evaluation may be needed
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) — documenting cognitive impact for personal injury or workers' compensation cases
Disability determinations — providing objective neuropsychological data for Social Security, long-term disability, or related claims
Medical decision-making capacity — assessing whether an individual can make informed decisions about their own care
What to expect
Evaluations follow the same comprehensive process as any Clary Clinic assessment: a thorough clinical interview, standardized cognitive testing, and a detailed written report. Reports are written to be clear and defensible, and Dr. Lee is available for follow-up consultation with referring attorneys or providers.
