Jeffrey Schaeffer, Ph.D., ABPP-CN
Director
Diplomate, American Board of Clinical Neuropsychology (ABCN/ABPP)

Our practice consists of a number of highly accomplished Associates who perform neuropsychological and psychodiagnostic assessments in clinical and medical-legal contexts. Our doctors all possess outstanding credentials and were trained and/or hold academic appointments at UCLA. Several have extensive experience serving as expert witnesses retained on behalf of plaintiffs and defendants in civil litigation and in other medical-legal contexts including disability and workers’ compensation, capacity/conservatorship and criminal cases.
Many of our Associates have specialized expertise in cross-cultural evaluations and can perform assessments in a variety of languages besides English, including Spanish, Russian, Hebrew, Armenian, Farsi, Japanese, Korean and Chinese (Mandarin and Taiwanese dialects). For other languages, our cross-cultural specialists have the knowledge and sophistication to be able to utilize certified interpreters to obtain the most meaningful data possible while keeping in mind the limitations inherent in these particularly challenging evaluations.
