Verdugo Psychological Associates

Dr. Gharibian evaluated me for LSAT accommodations, which I was thankfully granted (50% extra time, start and stop breaks). He was very professional, supportive and friendly. He was willing to answer all my questions on the phone prior to and after my evaluation. He did great in easing all the stresses I had regarding the accommodations and evaluation. The report was very thorough and was returned to me quickly after our meeting. I could not have imagined things going more smoothly, I really enjoyed working with him. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a psychological evaluation complete for academic accommodations. Actual life savor !

I contacted Dr. Gharibian to perform a psychological assessment for a client in the context of a criminal case. I located his information on the internet. Before the assessment Dr. Gharibian and I spoke on the telephone several times about the client and what was required for the assessment.
I found Dr. Gharibian to be a great asset for my legal representation and the client's needs. He was intelligent, knowledgeable, helpful, concerned, and very accommodating for the legal case.
His assessment was professional, comprehensive, helpful, detailed, and overall terrific. The report he authored (that was submitted to the court) was clear, dynamic, and complete. I am confident the court will follow his well-reasoned recommendations and provide a basis for the client to get into a program that will benefit the client and the legal proceeding.
I would recommend his services without reservation, and both my client and I are pleased and grateful for his professional work.

Dr. Gharibian, I'm writing this review to thank you for your thorough assessment, spending time to gather collateral information and taking a detailed history. I appreciate your professional approach and patience in explaining the details of the process. I typically ask so many questions and you patiently took the time to answer every single one. Your assessment findings not only helped me find the root of my all-time struggle but also helped to get the needed time accommodation on the Bar Exam. Thanks again !

Dr. Gharibian is a true med-legal practitioner specializing in Neuropsych and is not limited to only an understanding of the medicine. I manage a statewide personal injury practice and had the distinct honor of having Dr. Gharibian serve as an expert on a recent traumatic brain injury claim.

He possess an understanding of all issues surrounding a traumatic brain injury ranging from simple cognitive issues and stretching all the way to the biomechanics of the incident at hand. He really offers a wealth of knowledge and takes the time to educate you (as the attorney) and gives you a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses (clinically) or your claim.

Beyond his expertise in the field, you don’t feel rushed and he takes the time to really understand the claim, your client and the subject condition.

Aggressive but realistic. Charismatic, knowledgeable and great bedside manner (when dealing with our client both telephonically and in person). There is a difference between arrogant confidence and professionalism in your confidence and he’s certainly the latter. This is a problem I usually face with some of the older Neuro experts we’ve used in the past and that carries over, at times, to a jury trial. Doesn’t get rattled, always patient with his responses to x-exam and knows the science and sticks to it.

He did help change the course of the claim and we reached a favorable policy limit settlement. Both our office and our client are grateful for his involvement.

Will recommend in the future and use him on more claims.

Comprehensive evaluations, great reports. Highly recommended.

I'm an attorney in Pasadena and have consulted with Dr. Gharibian on several matters, both civil and criminal. His psychological evaluations are comprehensive and his reports are very thorough. I use him often to determine whether psychological damages exist and their extent.
He also offers free consultations!
