I believe I am qualified to be an expert in the field of psychology. In addition to my formal education, my post doctoral fellowship was in neuropsychology at San Francisco General Hospital. Professionally, I have worked on research involving cognitive retraining in patients with schizophrenia. I specialize in outpatient neuropsych testing and in patient epilepsy monitoring and issues related to neurosurgery.
