Dr. Robert Spencer**

Dr. Robert Spencer is a fully licensed clinical psychologist and board-certified clinical neuropsychologist who conducts neuropsychological evaluations with adults. His practice focuses on assessments for dementia, TBI, and other neurologic conditions.

Here is a bit of background on Dr. Spencer:

A native of the Baltimore area, Dr. Spencer earned his bachelor's degree at Towson University, his master's degree at Loyola University, and his Ph.D. at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. He completed clinical training at the National Institute on Drug Abuse, Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital, Clifton T. Perkins Hospital, and the Johns Hopkins Hospital system (Cognitive Neurology and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation), before completing an internship and postdoctoral fellowship in clinical neuropsychology through the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System.

In addition to his clinical work with McCaskill Family Services, Dr. Spencer is the Chief of the Neuropsychology section at the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System and is co-training director of the Neuropsychology Postdoctoral Training Consortium that is run conjointly with Michigan Medicine. His faculty appointment with Michigan Medicine is as Clinical Associate Professor. Dr. Spencer enjoys training and supervising up-and-coming neuropsychologists and has mentored two psychology undergraduates, four neuropsychology graduate students, 41 neuropsychology doctoral interns, seven postdoctoral fellows, and seven licensed professionals. He teaches a weekly seminar on interpreting psychological and neuropsychological tests. Academically, Dr. Spencer is the Associate Editor of Perceptual & Motor Skills and is a reviewer for many neuropsychology journals. He has published with local, national, and international collaborators, including over 70 peer-reviewed papers, book chapters, and book reviews, and over 120 professional presentations. Dr. Spencer is the only neuropsychologist in the country that is board certified by the American Board of Clinical Neuropsychology (ABPP-CN), the American Board of Professional Neuropsychology (ABN), and the American Board of Assessment Psychology (ABAP).

**Given his position with the VA, Dr. Spencer is not able to evaluate patients from the VA at McCaskill Family Services.
