Excellent Professional Service
I am very grateful to you, Michelle, Dr. Daren and Dr. Van Gorp for providing excellent, professional service in the days prior to scheduling my appointment date; conducting the day-long series of neuropsychological tests; expediting my written report before the submission deadline of my accommodations application; and for your willingness to meet with me to review and discuss the results of the extensive tests which were compiled in a comprehensive, written report.

People like you are an invaluable resource to patients and doctors
Dear Andrea and Michele,
Thank you so much on behalf of myself and my family – for your helpfulness and concern in making a potentially stressful experience seamless and comfortable.
Preliminary discussions with a manager and/or assistant manager can make all the difference in the world, even in deciding whether to follow up with an appointment. Michele and Andrea, you not only explained the nature of the exam thoroughly, you answered all our questions and concerns -many even two or more times- patiently and clearly.
People like you are an invaluable resource to patients and doctors. My family and I wish you all good things – none of this happens without you.
*Please do me one last favor and pass this note on to Dr. van Gorp.
Thank you both for always being there for us.
Best wishes,
My son is much more confident in his ability to do well on the LSAT now
Thank you all so much! My son received the accommodations recommended by Dr. van Gorp!
He is much more confident in his ability to do well on the LSAT now. Thanks to everyone for making this happen!
You are all such a wonderful team.
Gratefully,
I was able to take the MCAT with double time and apply to the Boards as well
Dr. van Gorp was extremely professional and right on spot with his diagnosis of my learning disability. He did a very thorough evaluation and took the time to go over the results with me. His recommendations were also extremely helpful. I have recommended him to all my friends who show signs of learning disabilities or ADHD. Thanks to him and his amazing team, I was able to take the MCAT with double time and apply to the Boards as well. If you wish to reach your true cognitive potential, I strongly believe Dr. van Gorp is the right person to evaluate your needs.
The entire staff was patient and supportive
My wife and I recently used the Cognitive Assessment Group to conduct a pre-adoption psychological evaluation. The Office Manager and staff (Andrea & Michele) was incredibly helpful in setting up our appointment and making sure that we had all of our questions answered beforehand. Dr. Daren was friendly, very professional and made us both feel welcome and comfortable as we went through the evaluation process. The entire staff was patient and supportive as we worked through very strict report formatting, notarizing, and gathering copies of licenses that needed to be done to send this off as a part of our international adoption dossier. We are so grateful for everything the staff did for us and will not hesitate to use this office for any future evaluation needs.
It’s really hard to find someone you trust
It’s not hard to find someone in manhattan to complete a neuropsych but it’s really hard to find someone you trust. Andrea (Reilly) at the center for cognitive research was great. She was patient and answered all my questions. Sometimes twice! The doctor (Andrew Daren) was just like she said he would be and the whole experience was easy, professional and my son left feeling good about himself.
My son had a very successful outcome!
Dr. VanGorp
Hi and hope you are well. Many thanks again and we are very happy to report that (my son) had a very successful outcome! Happy Thanksgiving!
Best regards
I have been approved for 50% extra time!
Hi Dr Daren,
FYI - I have been approved for 50% extra time!
I mentioned how great and comparatively reasonably priced you guys were to my GMAT tutor and am cc'ing him so he can give your name to future students he has in my situation.
Thanks again doc!
Kind Regards,
All of my requested accommodations were approved
Dr. van Gorp,
I just wanted to let you know that I found out that all of my requested accommodations were approved. Not only did the school approve all of your recommended accommodations, but I was even offered an additional helpful accommodation I did not request. It took much longer than usual for the school to process my request due to how novel the requested accommodations were, but thanks to your report written specifically to the school's needs, the only discussion was on what accommodations would be most reasonable for my disability rather than the diagnosis or need for accommodations. Thank you once again!
I passed it with a very high score
Dr Van Gorp,
I just wanted to thank you and your staff for everything. I never thought I would say this but discovering that I had a learning disability though devastating for me has been a blessing in disguise.
I am happy to inform you that not only did I pass my boards this year with the extra time given me per your recommendations, I passed it with a very high score. If it had not been for your evaluation and recommendation I would still be struggling to pass my boards.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I would recommend my friends, family and patients to you. If only you knew what this means to me. I thank God for putting you in my life when he did. I will forever be great full to you and your staff.
It was especially helpful that you were able to include the reasons why you felt that I needed certain accommodations
Dear Dr. van Gorp,
I wanted to thank you for your help with my accommodations process for the USMLE Step 1 examination. I was on a time crunch to submit documentation to my medical school and your office found a way to schedule me on short notice. I received a decision letter today that granted me accommodations of extended time; the test will also be administered over 2 days. Despite hearing from students that "the Nation Board of Medical Examiners never grants accommodations for Step1", you were reassuring that you would do your best to help me with this process. I am incredibly grateful for all of your help and advice. It was especially helpful that you were able to include the reasons why you felt that I needed certain accommodations - the evaluation not including this has been a reason that many requests have been denied.
I really appreciate everything that you, Ms. Reilly and Dr. Daren did to help me during this stressful time. I did not have Dr. Daren's email address, but please pass along the message and my gratitude to him, as well.
Thank you again for your time and help! Hope you all have a wonderful day!
My daughter has 50% extra time accomodated for her exams
Hello Andrea,

God Bless!
Sincerely,

I am happy to say that my son was awarded his college degree in large part because of the three of you!
Dear Andrea,
Thank you so much to you, Dr. Daren and Dr. Van Gorp for all your help with my son's assessment. As usual, nothing is ever text book when it comes to assessing an individual but your support and compassion throughout this entire process was invaluable. I am happy to say that my son was awarded his college degree in large part because of the three of you! Thank you for treating both of us with such understanding and kindness.
Because of his evaluation and follow up letter I received my testing accommodations

Best,
You were very accessible and willing to answer any questions or hesitations I had
Dr. van Gorp,
I would like to thank you once again for all you have done over the past month. From the very beginning (prior to scheduling a formal consultation), you were very accessible and willing to answer any questions or hesitations I had. I greatly appreciated this as it alleviated a lot of the worries I had prior to setting up my formal assessment. The environment the assessment was conducted in was very welcoming and overall I am very pleased with the final report. With your help and extensive expertise, I was able to be provided with accommodations for the LSAT.
Once again thank you for all your help!
Approved for 50% extra time!
SUBJ: Approved for 50% extra time!
Dear Dr. van Gorp,

With gratitude,
Your report was sufficient to have extra time in exams and to be able to use a computer in exams as well
Dear Dr Van Gorp and Andrew
Thank you so much for all your help with this.
You will see from the email below that (Overseas) University has acknowledged your report as being sufficient for (client) to have extra time in exams and to be able to use a computer in exams as well.
He starts CBT today.
So, fingers crossed he will move up and on from here. We have taken his concerns seriously and he now knows where he stands for his 3 years at university.
Thank you again,
I feel very lucky to have Dr van Gorp on my side
Andrea,
I would like to once again thank you and Dr. van Gorp for meeting with me once again. I feel very lucky to have Dr van Gorp on my side and assisting me in finding the right professionals to help me further. Please express my sincere thanks ,
I was able to get full accommodations requested for ACT and partial for SAT
Good evening Andrea,
My name is (client) and I received an evaluation a few months ago for SAT and ACT accommodations. Firstly I would like to thank the doctor because I was able to get full accommodations requested for ACT and partial for SAT.
Thank you in advance,
I am proudly learning disabled and have evidence to prove it
I want to say another thank you: While I'm 100% certain that I will apply back to Medical School or at least Grad School sometime soon, the most important part of this testing was for me, psychological. It shows that I'm not "unintelligent" as exhibited by a not so helpful and stressful thought process I had after my MCAT score. It shows that I am unique in the ways I learn. I am proudly learning disabled and have evidence to prove it. That makes me feel much better - and has contributed to both my current physical and mental health. You Rock, thanks for doing what you do.
Be Well,
It has been a tremendous relief finding out what I had suspected for many years
To Andrea, I want to thank you and Dr's. van Gorp and Daren for all your help and compassion. I was very apprehensive about testing and the subsequent findings. It has been a tremendous relief finding out what I had suspected for many years. Please let me know if you would like me to submit a reveiw? I feel that the service was excellent and I am very happy with my choice. Sincerely
Thank you for picking up on a diagnosis no other doctor has been able to
Dear Dr. van Gorp,
Thank you for all your help with my children. They were very comfortable with both you and Dr. Daren, which is always a plus in my book! Thank you for picking up on a diagnosis no other doctor has been able to with my older son. I am happy to report that he is now doing much better!! My husband and I are were very pleased with the entire assessment and process.

I will be in touch.
Best regards,
Appeal of a decision to terminate my disability benefits was made in my favor!
Dear Dr. van Gorp,
The last time I saw you was on Feb. 12, 2013 for Part 2 of my cognitive-assessment testing administered by Dr. Fraser. I learned this past Monday that my appeal of a decision to terminate my disability benefits was made in my favor!
The work of Matthew, my attorney from the Law Offices of Barbara Comerford, was excellent. I have a strong hunch, though, that your evaluation of my test results was crucial to the success of my appeal. I reread the “Summary & Impression” section of your report today. I believe your observations and concluding remarks made a compelling case that my disabled condition is legitimate, multifaceted, and very real. …So I am writing simply to say: THANKS SO VERY MUCH for all the time, work, and care that you invested in the C-A testing process—and me— from start to finish.
I would appreciate it if you would extend my greetings and sincere appreciation to Dr. Fraser as well.
Very truly yours,
I would recommend your services to anyone who needs cognitive testing
Dear Dr. van Gorp,
Great job! I would recommend your services to anyone who needs cognitive testing.
Best…

Warmest regards,
Your patience and professionalism allowed me to proceed
More importantly, I am writing to thank you all so very much for all of your help. I deeply appreciate your time and thoughtful consideration of my case.

I am eternally grateful. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Fully make use of my talents
Dear Dr van Gorp,
I am very grateful of the efforts you and Mr William Lu have put, and the professionalism and accuracy you guys have demonstrated during this series of testing, especially on the part of testing in Chinese you two have provided.
I am glad that I cound truly find out exactly who I am and what I should really improve in my weakness and fully make use of my talents in my education and future carreer.
I felt much more calm on test day than the previous times
Hi Dr. Van Gorp,
I just wanted to let you know that I succeeded in getting accommodations for the MCAT. I didn’t end up consulting an attorney, but did include letters from xxxx (doctors). They decided on two 5-minute breaks per section and a private room. It wasn’t all you had initially recommended, but I think it was a good compromise and I felt much more calm on test day than the previous times. I’m still awaiting my score, but am happy to report that I had a much better experience. I have been seeing (doctor) once a week since you recommended her, and she is so great. She has really helped me manage my anxiety and I am very grateful for the referral. Thank you so much for everything!
Warm Regards.
Thank you for helping me reach my dream
Hi Dr. Van Gorp,
I have some great news. They granted accommodations! Not everything was granted, but I am happy with the accommodations. Thank you so much for all your help. I will bring you cookies as soon as I can.
I will keep you updated on my testing and my career. Thank you for helping me reach my dream.
You’re terrific!
We all were very fond of you and think you’re terrific!
