"A thorough neuropsychological evaluation answers the question behind the question — not just what is happening in the brain, but what it means for the person living in it."

What Is a Neuropsychological Evaluation?


A neuropsychological evaluation is a comprehensive, in-depth assessment of cognitive functioning — including memory, attention, language, processing speed, and executive function. It goes beyond screening tools to characterize your unique pattern of cognitive strengths and vulnerabilities.

At MAP Neuropsychology, evaluations are conducted by Dr. Pimontel, a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist (ABPP-CN) with particular expertise in adults presenting with complex, overlapping medical and psychiatric conditions. Many referrals involve patients whose cognitive picture is complicated by chronic illness, neurological disease, or mood disorders — precisely the presentations that demand a clinician experienced in disentangling multiple contributing factors. The evaluation yields a precise diagnostic formulation, a thorough understanding of functional impact, and individualized recommendations — a complete map forward.
