A focused pre-surgical psychological evaluation and neurosurgical psychological evaluation for patients preparing for procedures in which a psychological evaluation for neurosurgery or surgery is requested or clinically indicated. This includes deep brain stimulation (DBS), epilepsy-related neurosurgical procedures, spinal cord stimulator (SCS) trials and implantation, intrathecal pain pumps, bariatric surgery, organ transplant, and other neurosurgical or medical interventions. The entire evaluation is conducted virtually in a single session, and documentation is written to the criteria your surgeon, program, or insurer requires and sent to your surgical team with your written authorization. Patients may self-refer or be referred by a surgeon or program, and the evaluation is available to eligible patients in New York, Alabama, and participating PSYPACT states.
