As a clinical neuropsychologist and Qualified Medical Evaluator, Dr. Catherine Ward in Carlsbad operates West Coast Neuropsychology from Jefferson Street with a PsyD from Argosy University's neuropsychology concentration. Neuropsychological evaluations for traumatic brain injury, concussion, dementia, ADHD, and learning disabilities involve multi-hour test batteries whose imaging correlates are captured at facilities such as SimonMed Imaging — Carlsbad on Palomar Airport Road. Prior tenure as Lead Neuropsychologist with Foresight Mental Health and as a Forensic Evaluator with Wellpath established a dual clinical-forensic methodology applied to both treatment planning and medicolegal proceedings. Post-concussion and TBI evaluations frequently require neuro-optometric screening for visual processing deficits, a clinical domain covered by Dr. David Bloch Adult & Pediatric Optometry in the La Costa corridor. Forensic neuropsychological reports integrate Halstead-Reitan and Wechsler battery data with structural imaging correlation to establish objective cognitive impairment baselines for QME and medicolegal case documentation.
