I saw her for persistent symptoms of post concussion syndrome after 18 LB equipment fell on my head. This woman claimed that she did the testing ( 20 min ) and evaluation as well as spending 2 hours of reviewing my records. Her conclusion was - no concussion , should see the psychiatrist . She failed to mention that by the time I saw her I was under the care of the psychiatrist for over 1 year and was diagnosed with PTSD. The woman is fraud. She stated that concussion can only last 2 weeks and if you have the symptoms longer it cannot (her word) be a concussion or mild TBI. 2 years later I had a full ( 2 days) neurophsych evaluation and was diagnosed with mild TBI. I filed the lawsuit against her.

The UCLA students do all the writing and report, and she just reads it. The report is inaccurate and full of mistakes. They just copy and paste writings. It’s obvious that this department is incompetent to test people with brain injuries.
