Dr. Karen Hagerott

Karen Patterson Hagerott, Ph.D. is a Florida Licensed Psychologist specializing in Pediatric Neuropsychology. Originally from the Boston area, she obtained her B.S. degree Magna Cum Laude in Psychology from William Smith College and her M.A. and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with a minor in Human Cognition from Wayne State University in Michigan. Dr. Hagerott obtained clinical training in pediatric neuropsychology at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan, Department of Psychology. Her master’s degree topic was Hemispheric Asymmetries in Auditory Processing and Cognitive Skills. Her dissertation was on the Neuropsychological Status of Preschool Age Cardiac Patients Treated with Extra- Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), with Ph.D. granted in 1990.

Dr. Hagerott only sees children 18 years and younger. In some cases, she will extend care to established patients during their college years.

Dr. Hagerott is a participating provider for Smart Health. If this is the child’s primary insurance, we will collect the deductible/copay at the time of service and file insurance claims from our office.  Important note:  if the question is to evaluate for a learning disability; unrelated to a medical condition, this is generally not covered by any insurance carrier. Therefore; even if the neuropsychological provider is a participating provider with your insurance company, you should contact them to discuss your benefits and any disallowed diagnoses.

For other insurances, the full fee for service will be collected at the time of service and the parents or guardians of the child may self file for reimbursement from their insurance company. It is not possible to generate a testing plan prior to the initial consultation. After the initial appointment, the parent/guardian will be provided with information on the anticipated hours and fees associated for any recommended testing.  You will be provided with a charge ticket with all  information needed to file your claim to your insurance carrier.
