Dr. Samantha Roop is a clinical neuropsychologist who specializes in comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations for adults experiencing changes in memory or overall cognitive functioning. She works with a wide range of individuals, from those with clearly defined neurological conditions to those navigating more subtle or complex cognitive concerns.
Dr. Roop earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Louisiana State University. She completed her doctorate in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) at Indiana State University, followed by an APA-accredited internship specializing in neuropsychology at the Missouri Health Sciences Psychology Consortium at the Truman VA. She then completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in Clinical Neuropsychology at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA).
Dr. Roop provides in-depth assessments to clarify diagnoses, support treatment planning, and guide important decisions related to patient care, work, and daily functioning. While she has particular experience in evaluating dementia and age-related cognitive changes, her practice also includes assessing individuals affected by a variety of other conditions, such as epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, autoimmune disorders, and stroke. She also conducts pre-surgical evaluations (e.g., for epilepsy or deep brain stimulation) and sees individuals experiencing inefficiencies in cognitive functioning due to stress, mood, sleep, or other health-related factors. Her evaluations are carefully tailored to provide a clear understanding of cognitive strengths and weaknesses and to inform practical, personalized next steps.
Dr. Roop is passionate about providing clear, compassionate feedback and equipping individuals and families with meaningful, actionable insights. Dr. Roop is currently accepting new patients, and she welcomes referrals for both diagnostic clarification and baseline cognitive evaluations.
