Dr. Gerdin’s Specialty

Dr. Tyler Gerdin is a board-certified clinical psychologist (ABPP) with a certification in clinical psychology. Only 4% of psychologists have achieved this rigorous credential—his work has been validated by a panel of experienced experts. Dr. Gerdin has completed a range of IMEs, specializing in evaluating trauma, mood, and anxiety disorders and identifying neurocognitive deficiencies using neuropsychological tests.

What Should I Expect During the IME Process?

The first step in the IME process is medical records and history gathering. Before a forensic psychologist can understand where someone is now, they have to understand where they’ve been. In the evaluation, clinical interviews and the administration of standardized psychological and neuropsychological tests may be used to find crucial information. Dr. Gerdin is committed to accurately understanding a claimant’s struggles
to identify one’s true diagnoses and answer crucial questions.
