Sometimes a patient’s inability to concentrate, reason, solve problems or recall information is linked to an undiagnosed illness or substances that have altered these abilities. Neuropsychological assessments give therapists and medical professionals a powerful pathway to the inner workings of the brain. By assessing patients with a series of tests that measure their psychological functioning, St. Luke’s team can determine the best course of treatment for each patient.
