Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are research studies that evaluate a new medical approach, device, drug, or other treatment. As a Stanford Health Care patient, you may have access to the latest, advanced clinical trials.
Open trials refer to studies currently accepting participants. Closed trials are not currently enrolling, but may open in the future.
For Patients
For your convenience, you may check in for all same-day appointments at the Stanford Neuroscience Health Center through a centralized, check-in desk near the front lobby. In addition to all outpatient services, you also can access onsite pre-surgery consultations at the center.
The best place to start if you have concerns about your memory or cognition is with your doctor. A referral directly from your medical provider can help facilitate the scheduling process, including authorization for health care insurance coverage.

HOW TO REFER
- Please make sure your patient understands why you are referring them for neuropsychological testing. We conduct one-time, diagnosis-focused evaluations to objectively measure cognitive and psychiatric functioning. We do not provide medical care, medication management, or ongoing treatment.
- Please make your referral question as specific as possible so that we can answer the question as best as possible and provide relevant information and recommendations. If you would like to provide additional information pertaining to the referral or would like to ask about the appropriateness of the referral, please call 650-723-7181.
- We do our best to complete the evaluations in a timely manner (the report is usually sent out within a week after the patient is seen for an evaluation). However, if the report or verbal feedback is needed sooner, please let us know.
- Please be sure to provide us with your contact information and the best method for sending you the completed report.
- Please be aware that we perform neuropsychological evaluations for clinical purposes. We do not do any forensic or legal evaluations, such as for worker's compensation and formal capacity evaluations.
Outside providers, please call 650-723-7181.
STANFORD PROVIDERS
Stanford providers should place an order via EPIC for Neuropsychology (Ref 107). The referring clinic will need to obtain insurance authorization through COAR (SHC Centralized Outpatient Authorization & Referrals) or their departmental referral coordinator, but we can provide information and support.
