Pre-Surgical Evaluation (e.g., before Spinal Cord Stimulator Placement, Bariatric Surgery, Organ Transplant, Epilepsy Surgery)

This evaluation is a comprehensive assessment to evaluate a person's cognitive, emotional, and psychological functioning before surgery. This evaluation helps to identify the potential risks and benefits of surgery, guide surgical planning,  and establish a baseline of cognitive function to compare with after surgery.

Assessment of Cognitive Function following Illness 

​An assessment of cognitive function after illness is a process used to evaluate changes in a person's cognitive abilities following a significant illness, injury, or medical condition. The assessment is particularly important when the illness affects the brain or central nervous system, such as a stroke, traumatic brain injury, COVID-19, or other neurological or systemic conditions. The goal is to identify any cognitive impairments, determine their severity, and guide treatment or rehabilitation.

Assessment of Cognitive Function in Individuals with Neurological Conditions (e.g., Seizure Disorders, Cerebral Vascular Disease, Head Injury, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease)

An assessment of cognitive function in individuals with neurological conditions is a comprehensive evaluation that measures various aspects of cognitive abilities in people affected by diseases or injuries that impact the brain or nervous system. Neurological conditions can affect cognition in multiple ways, so this type of assessment helps identify cognitive deficits, track disease progression, and guide treatment or rehabilitation efforts.

Assessment of Cognitive Function in Individuals Experiencing Metabolic Disorders (e.g., Thyroid Disorders, Diabetes, Liver or Kidney Disease)

An assessment of cognitive function in individuals experiencing metabolic disorders is a comprehensive evaluation designed to determine how metabolic imbalances or diseases affect a person’s cognitive abilities. Metabolic disorders, such as diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, liver or kidney disease, and inherited metabolic conditions, can have significant effects on brain function, leading to cognitive deficits such as memory problems, difficulties with concentration, and impaired executive function. The assessment helps identify these cognitive impairments, guide treatment, and track the impact of medical interventions.
