Report
Just had the most amazing experience with Dr. Liberant! My daughter needed an IQ test and I cannot say enough great things. Dr Liberant took her time to establish the rapport, making sure my daughter is comfortable with her and the office. She could not be more thorough in the testing process as well as the detailed report. Highly highly recommend Dr Ada Liberant!

Report
There arent enough stars. Dr. Liberant came highly recommended by a family member. From our very first visit Dr. Liberant took the time to understand my daughters needs as opposed to others who simply disregarded my childs behavioral issues. Just an amazing person and a very knowledgeable psychologist I would highly recommend
