Returning to work has been a significant milestone, signaling not only my physical recovery but also my ability to overcome challenges. Each day working is a testament to my resilience, reminding me of how far I’ve come since being a patient at Shepherd.

Comprehensive diagnostic evaluations (CDEs)

A CDE at Shepherd Center provides a detailed assessment of your employee’s functional abilities and rehabilitation potential. It’s a key tool for case managers and adjusters to optimize treatment planning, facilitate return to work, manage costs, and resolve claims efficiently. It includes a medical evaluation by a neurologist, functional assessments by therapists, neuropsychological testing, and vocational counseling.
