About Dr. Gutman

Dr. Renée H. Gutman is a clinical pediatric and adolescent neuropsychologist.  She has devoted the past 20 years to evaluating children and adolescents with a wide range of learning, behavioral, and emotional “differences.”  Many of these children were misdiagnosed as younger children, or were only identified as “bad” or “sad.”  A proper evaluation provided clarity, direction, interventions, and a multitude of wonderful outcomes.  Renée’s patient population has grown, and many of these young people remain closely in touch. They are the pride and joy of her life.
