Get to know Casey E. Swick, PhD
Dr. Swick is a pediatric neuropsychologist who specializes in assessing children with a wide range of medical conditions, including acute and chronic illnesses, brain injuries and developmental conditions. She performs evaluations to understand how a child’s developmental and medical factors impact their cognitive, behavioral and social-emotional functioning. These assessments may take place in inpatient or outpatient settings, allowing Dr. Swick to tailor her approach to the specific needs of each patient and family. The primary goal of these evaluations is to help guide treatment plans to support the child’s overall development and quality of life.
Personal Statement
I am deeply committed to providing individualized, quality care to help each patient reach their full potential. My hope is that families leave appointments feeling heard and with a stronger understanding of their child’s unique strengths. I strive to ensure that families are equipped with a clear plan and resources for how to move forward and feel confident in advocating for their child. I take a highly tailored approach to clinical practice to meet the specific needs of the child and family. I am also dedicated to collaborating closely with the child’s medical team to ensure a cohesive and comprehensive approach to care. Through open communication, personalized support and a deep commitment to each child’s success, my goal is to empower families to help their child thrive.
