I have happily referred cases to Dr. Ubogy since he completed a postdoctoral fellowship with me in 2004, knowing that families will benefit from his great expertise and care.  I am always pleased when I come across his thoughtful reports, which balance the precision of testing and data collection with an empathic stance vis-a-vis the child.

As a neurologist, I have worked with Dr. Ubogy in the evaluation of retired NFL football players since 2017. Doctor Ubogy’s manner is warm, friendly and calming. In addition to appreciating his carefully crafted reports, I have taken great personal pleasure in discussing with him a broad range of clinical and research issues that link the fields of neurology, neuropsychiatry and neuropsychology.  Dr. Ubogy is a deeply human clinician, a professional with the highest ethical standards, deep curiosity and rare compassion. I recommend Dr. Ubogy with complete confidence for the evaluation of neurocognitive issues affecting the lives of adults and children.

I've read countless reports about at-risk youth and the majority of them do not reflect the complexity and uniqueness of the individual child. I read Dr. Ubogy's report with great pleasure and let him know that it was the best report that had ever come across my desk. His portrait of the boy he evaluated was so thorough (and, as it turned out, so accurate) that I felt like I really "got" him, his strengths and his needs before he walked through my door.

Dr. Ubogy is among the best and brightest neuropsychologists I’ve trained over multiple decades.  Given his expertise, I relied on him as a guest lecturer for my child neuropsychology lectures. He would role-play to demonstrate how to get valid data in child testing situations, and my students loved learning methods to handle the most challenging ones.  Since then, Dr. Ubogy has earned a place as one of the Bay Area's most respected neuropsychologists.

When asked to evaluate a very complex adolescent in a forensic context, I reached out to Dr. Ubogy to complete the neuropsychological portion.  The insights he provided were instrumental in coming to a resolution for the case.  His report was very detailed, informative, accurate and insightful.  I would not hesitate to recommend him for forensic neuropsychological evaluations.

Dr. Ubogy on child neuropsychology:  "Life’s demands get harder on kids each year. Ideally this keeps pace with their maturation, but some children’s growth may be slower, delayed or less even. They may not be able to meet environmental demands as expected. This child/environment mismatch can disrupt their development, and then their learning, self-esteem, mood and behavior. Children's neuropsychological evaluation must meet two goals. One is to explain the unique fit between their environment and capacities. The other is to create a treatment plan that allows their optimal development to unfold. "
