Bariatric Evaluations

Most patients who are considering bariatric surgery are required to meet with a licensed psychologist before they can proceed with the procedure. The purpose of this evaluation is to help you and your treatment team better understand your unique psychological needs so that you can experience the most success on your weight loss journey. The staff at Fort Wayne Neuropsychology are excited to help provide these evaluations. If you are ready for this step, please contact us today. If you are just starting to consider bariatric surgery, please contact the weight management specialists at Lutheran (260-435-7844) or Parkview (260-425-6390) Hospitals to learn more.

Concussion Clinic

In cooperation with Fort Wayne Neurological Center, Concussion Clinic provides multidisciplinary assessment of concussions. It involves neurology and neuropsychology, as well as a brief screening measure to assess the physical, cognitive, and emotional impact of a concussion. This information will assist in making decisions pertaining to therapeutic activities, returning to athletic play, academic accommodations, etc. 

 

FAA Evaluations 

Airmen with specific medical conditions (e.g. stroke, TBI, alcoholism, etc.) may be required to complete neuropsychological testing to maintain their medical certification. In other instances, prospective airmen previously treated for conditions such as ADHD, depression, etc. may be required to undergo evaluation to establish their eligibility for initial medical certification. One of our neuropsychologists, Dr. Jacob Lutz, is an experienced and respected provider of these FAA evaluations. You can learn more about how we can help with these evaluations here: FAA Evaluations

Presurgical Pain Evaluations

Patients who are considering surgical pain management procedures such as spinal cord stimulators or intrathecal pain pumps are typically required to complete an evaluation with a licensed psychologist prior to surgery. This evaluation helps you and your care providers better understand you as a whole person, ensuring you get the best possible care and relief from your pain. At Fort Wayne Neuropsychology we understand that chronic pain impacts all aspects of your life, including your psychological and emotional well-being. We want to help you on your journey to relief. We also appreciate the many steps involved in the pre-surgical  process and pride ourselves on completing these evaluations as quickly a possible so you can keep moving forward.
