Testimonials
Dr. Fernandez has been an invaluable resource to many of my clients. Children benefit immensely from her skilled and sensitive approach. Her knowledge and expertise provide exceptional and thorough insights into the child's needs. She is a great source of support for her patients in IEP team meetings, as well as a formidable expert witness for special education litigation. Dr. Fernandez is a gifted professional, and -- all too rare even in Southern California -- she also provides comprehensive evaluations and support for bilingual and Spanish-speaking children and their parents.Heather ZaksonZakson Law
Dr. Vindia Fernandez is a very skilled neuropsychologist with a warm, professional demeanor. She is one of few neuropsychologists who I trust to assess autism in young adults, especially if there are cultural factors that need to be taken into consideration.
Crystal Lee, PhDLA Concierge Psychologist
As a colleague, I give my highest recommendation for Dr. Fernandez. She is a thoughtful, compassionate, and thorough neuropsychologist. Her clinical acumen is top-notch. She is highly skilled in working with children, adolescents, and young adults with diverse medical, neurodevelopmental, and psychological challenges. She also has unique expertise in assessing bilingual and monolingual-Spanish-speaking children and their families. She works tirelessly to help guide and support parents and ensure that her patients get the help they need and deserve. I would not hesitate to have my child assessed by Dr. Fernandez.
