Dr. Dana Szeles is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist with extensive experience in the assessment of cognitive disorders/dementia and thinking changes associated with medical and neurologic illnesses in adults. Dr. Szeles completed her PhD at the University of Florida with a specialized focus in neuropsychology and furthered her training through a two-year fellowship in neuropsychology at the Medical University of South Carolina.
