• For a brain injury claim, Dr. Gunter prefers scheduling a Forensic Neuropsychological Evaluation over two successive days. Appointments begin at 9:00 a.m. each day. Lunch is taken from noon to 1:15 p.m. each day. Typically, there are 10- to 15-minute breaks as needed by the examinee throughout the day. The first of the two days typically ends no later than 4:15 p.m. – a six-hour work day (minus several 15-minute breaks). The second day of the examination ends as early as noon in some cases and usually by 3:00 p.m., with lunch taken from noon to 1:15 p.m., as previously mentioned. The number of hours the examinee spends over the second day depends much upon the examinee’s pace of work and the number of claimed subject accident/subject injury psychological, cognitive, or behavioral injuries that have to be evaluated.

• For a psychological injury claim only (i.e., no claimed head trauma), Dr. Gunter prefers scheduling a Forensic Neuropsychological Evaluation over one and a half successive days. The first day the examinee will either come in from 9:00 a.m. to noon or 1:00 p.m to 4:00 p.m to complete two self-report questionnaires. The second day of the examination will start at 9:00 a.m. and continue until noon. Lunch is taken from noon to 1:15 p.m. The examination will then resume until 4:15 p.m. The number of hours the examinee spends over the second day depends much upon the examinee’s neuropsychological history and claimed subject accident/subject injury psychological and behavioral injuries that have to be evaluated.
