About

Lafosse Neuropsychology, PC in Chula Vista's Otay Ranch area provides board-certified clinical neuropsychological assessment from Olympic Parkway, led by Jose M. Lafosse, Ph.D., ABPP. ABPP board certification in clinical neuropsychology and a UC Davis School of Medicine residency anchor the practice's brain-injury and neurological-disorder evaluations, with pre- and post-assessment lab work coordinated through facilities including Scripps Coastal Medical Center Eastlake Lab. FAA Aviation Neuropsychologist designation and California Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME) status qualify the practice for pilot fitness-for-duty assessments and workers'-compensation neuropsychological evaluations. Consulting neuropsychologist privileges at Craig Hospital in Denver extend the practice's traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury caseload nationally, and primary care physicians at Sharp Rees-Stealy Otay Ranch refer patients requiring cognitive screening after concussion, stroke, or neurodegenerative onset. The practice's highest-complexity evaluations involve intracarotid amobarbital (Wada) procedures for pre-surgical epilepsy mapping, determining hemispheric language and memory dominance before temporal-lobe resection.
