Well-versed in the field of neuropsychology, Dr. Gavron sees patients at the Neuropsychology Health Center, a private neuropsychological health practice in Sarasota, Florida that offers individualized and empirically-based evaluations for adolescents and adults.

In her clinical role, she performs neuropsychological testing for adults with such conditions as dementia, vascular disorders, movement disorders and other neurodegenerative disorders, traumatic brain injury, seizure disorders, learning and neurodevelopmental disorders, neuropsychiatric disorders, neuroinflammation, metabolic disease and neurological effects of medical disorders or treatment. She also conducts attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) evaluations in the pediatric and adult populations and provides individual cognitive training and rehabilitation.

Originally from Michigan, Dr. Gavron attended Michigan State University, where she studied psychology and pre-med coursework. She earned her graduate degrees from the San Francisco Bay Area and completed her training at the University of California. She also completed her board certified neuropsychology residencies at the Cleveland and Memphis VA Hospitals, Cleveland Clinic, and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Dr. Gavron is an accredited National Health Service Psychologist.

Neuropsychology is a specialty branch of clinical psychology that studies how the brain and nervous system affect how we function. Neuropsychology seeks to understand how the various components of the brain do their jobs and makes use of various assessment methods to ascertain function and dysfunction and to apply this knowledge to evaluate, treat and rehabilitate individuals with suspected or demonstrated neurological or psychological problems. Results provide useful information to aid in diagnosing neurological conditions and establishing a baseline of current functioning that can be used as a marker to assess the progress of pharmacological, surgical, and rehabilitation efforts as well as determine the course of cerebral dysfunction and recovery. Neuropsychological testing can also help in planning and developing remedial education, rehabilitation and vocational programs and for obtaining school-based services, testing accommodations for college entrance examinations and accommodations in one’s place of employment.

In her free time, Dr. Gavron enjoys spending time with her family, yoga and gardening.
