Lifespan Concierge Neuropsychology
Dr. Alexandra Davis provides concierge direct access with same-day neuropsychological reports for surgical clearance so there’s no delay in your medical procedure. Whether your surgeon, neurologist, or cardiologist requires documentation of cognitive status before surgery, you can receive rapid turnaround results—often within the same day—to keep your care on schedule. Evaluations are available across Florida through secure telehealth or in-person appointments.
A neuropsychological evaluation before and after surgery plays a critical role in understanding how the brain and cognitive functions may be affected by medical procedures. Whether preparing for brain surgery, spinal fusion, heart bypass, or Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) surgery, these pre- and post-operative cognitive assessments help you and your physicians make informed decisions, monitor recovery, and optimize rehabilitation outcomes.
Dr. Alexandra Davis, a Florida-based neuropsychologist, provides specialized surgical cognitive assessments to support individuals facing neurological and complex medical surgeries. These evaluations can be performed in-person or through secure telehealth when appropriate, ensuring timely access to expert-level care.
A pre-surgical neuropsychological evaluation establishes a cognitive baseline—a detailed profile of your memory, attention, problem-solving, and emotional functioning before surgery. This baseline allows doctors to compare post-operative results and measure the impact of the procedure. Establishing a cognitive baseline testing before and after surgery is crucial for accurate tracking.
Neuropsychological testing before surgery is particularly important for individuals preparing for:
These pre-operative neuropsychological assessments provide valuable information for surgeons, neurologists, cardiologists, and rehabilitation teams. They help tailor treatment plans, manage risks, and set realistic recovery expectations.
Many surgeries—particularly brain, spine, heart, and oncology procedures—can affect the brain’s ability to process information. Factors such as anesthesia, oxygenation, inflammation, or direct neural disruption can lead to cognitive changes. A pre-operative neuropsychological assessment identifies your strengths and vulnerabilities, ensuring the medical team can protect and support your cognitive well-being.
For example, in neuropsychological assessment for brain surgery pre-op, cognitive testing may identify which areas of memory or language are most vulnerable. This information can guide neurosurgeons in planning surgical approaches that minimize risk to essential cognitive functions.
A pre-operative neuropsychological assessment of memory and attention includes standardized tests designed to evaluate how the brain processes information before surgery. Testing typically covers:
The results are integrated into a clear report summarizing cognitive strengths, challenges, and tailored recommendations to support surgical preparation and recovery.
A post-operative neuropsychology evaluation assesses your cognitive and emotional recovery after surgery. It helps detect subtle changes in brain function, even when imaging looks normal, and provides guidance for rehabilitation, medication management, or return-to-work planning. This comparison is key to the overall success of the neuropsychological evaluation before and after surgery process.
These evaluations also provide reassurance to patients and families by clarifying what changes are normal, which require support, and what steps can be taken to optimize cognitive rehabilitation.
Preparation is simple but important. To ensure the most accurate results:
A post-surgical neuropsychological evaluation is not a test you can “pass” or “fail.” Instead, it provides objective information to help your care team support your brain recovery more effectively.
You may benefit from a neuropsychological assessment if you are scheduled for or recovering from:
Family members often notice changes in memory, focus, or emotional control during recovery. A neuropsychological evaluation provides clarity, reassurance, and a roadmap for cognitive and emotional healing.
Dr. Davis integrates medical, neurological, and psychological data to deliver a complete understanding of how surgery affects brain function. Her evaluations are designed not only for diagnosis but also for rehabilitation planning, patient education, and post-surgical recovery optimization.
She works collaboratively with surgeons, cardiologists, neurologists, and oncologists to ensure her findings are meaningful and directly applicable to your care plan. Each report includes practical, individualized recommendations for cognitive support, therapy, or workplace accommodations.
Dr. Davis offers concierge neuropsychological care with flexible scheduling and direct communication throughout Florida. Testing can be arranged pre-operatively (before surgery), immediately post-operatively, or during later recovery intervals for comparison and cognitive tracking.
