Richard L. Delmonico, Ph.D

Clinical Neuropsychologist Psy12604
As a Licensed Psychologist with over 15 years of
expertise in Clinical Neuropsychology and
Neurological Rehabilitation, I provide
neuropsychological evaluations and consultation
services.

My specialty includes assessment, psychological treatment and rehabilitation of neurological disorders such as
TraumaticBrain Injury, Mild Brain Injury, Alzheimer's Disease, anoxia, dementia, and a broad variety of
medical conditions which affect cognitive andbehavioral functioning.

I am an Associate Clinical Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at U.C. Davis
School of Medicine and I am the author of several journal articles on Traumatic Brain Injury rehabilitation. I
have presented at many local, national and international professional conferences on the subject of
neuropsychology and brain injury. I have also functioned as an expert witness in worker's compensation
cases, class action suits, civil suits, and criminal cases.

I completed my undergraduate education at the University of California, Davis and my Masters degree in
Clinical Psychology at Connecticut College. I earned my Ph.D. in 1989 from the University of Missouri-
Columbia. I completed my clinical internship at the Palo Alto Veterans Affairs Health Care System with
an emphasis in Neuropsychology, brain injury rehabilitation, and geriatrics and a Post Doctoral Fellowship
in Clinical Neuropsychology at the U.C. Davis Medical School Alzheimer's Research Center.

Prior to working at the North Bay Center for Behavioral Medicine I was a Neuropsychologist in the
Neurorehabilitation Center and Traumatic Brain Injury Model System at Santa Clara Valley Medical
Center.

If you have had an accident, stroke, neurological, or medical condition that may have changed the way your
brain works, a Neuropsychologist may help you better understand how the brain works and how changes
can affect your behavior, thinking (memory, attention, reasoning, etc), and emotions. A neuropsychological
assessmentinvolves a series of paper and pencil tests that examine specific skills such as attention, memory,
language, and problem-solving.

A referral for a Neuropsychological evaluation may be made by you, your doctor, psychologist, or attorney.
The actual evaluation can take 4 to 6 hours or longer depending on the reason for the evaluation. This is
typically done in 1 or 2 appointments. Following the evaluation, a report will be prepared that will describe
all of the test results, your areas of strength, your areas of difficulty or concern, and detailed recommendations
about what can be done to help you maximize your strengths and help you compensate for your areas of
difficulty. In addition, I will meet with you to help you understand the results, how they may affect you, and what
you may be able to do about them. Neuropsychological evaluations are often valuable not only to the person but
also their family, doctors, healthcare professionals, and/or attorney in helping everyone understand what your
problems are, your areas of strength, and how to provide you with the best support.
