FOR REFERRING PROVIDERS

If you have reached the limit of what your role can answer

Dr. Jovanovic is the doctoral evaluator you can refer into. Your client gets a clear written answer to the question you asked. They come back to you for the work you do.

 

THE CONCERN, ANSWERED FIRST

Your client stays with you

This is the concern behind most referrals, and it deserves a direct answer. Dr. Jovanovic evaluates. He does not take over care. The evaluation happens in Dr. Jovanovic’s Lakewood Ranch office, the report is delivered, and your client returns to you.

The point of the referral is to make your work possible, not to replace it. In practice the treating relationship usually gets stronger, because a clinician who finally knows what they are working with can aim the work.

WHEN TO REFER

These are the situations that most often call for an evaluation

They are recognizable rather than diagnostic, because the point of a referral is that the diagnosis is not yet settled.

 

Engaged and working, still not moving

Attendance is good, effort is real, and progress has stalled for reasons neither of you can name.
 

Never assessed as a child

Bright enough that nothing was flagged in school, and managing attention or memory problems privately ever since.
 

Needs documentation that will hold up

A school, an employer, or a licensing board has asked for something your role does not produce.
 

Presentation does not match the chart

The label came from somewhere, it has been carried forward, and it does not fit what you are seeing.
 

WHAT COMES BACK

What comes back to you

The written report: Two-page diagnosis, full report behind it.

You also receive a letter written to you, in plain language, saying what the testing found and what it means. Results come in writing, in plain language, and a 20-minute call to answer your questions is included once you have read them.

TURNAROUND AND FEE

What it costs and what to expect

Evaluations are private pay. The fee and terms are published in full on Fees & Scheduling, so you know what you are sending a client into before you send them.

A referring provider who knows the fee refers better, because they send the right people.
