Dr. William Hochberger is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist and aviation (HIMS) neuropsychologist dedicated to helping his clients better understand and navigate the challenges affecting their neurocognitive health. He specializes in the evaluation of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia — including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Lewy body disease, and frontotemporal dementia — as well as traumatic brain injury and concussion, multiple sclerosis, stroke, seizure disorders, and mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. In addition to clinical evaluations, Dr. Hochberger’s expertise extends to pilot and air-traffic control specialist (ATCS) testing for the FAA, medio-legal assessments, and decision-making capacity evaluations.
At the heart of Dr. Hochberger's practice is a collaborative, person-centered approach that makes his clients and their families feel genuinely heard and valued. He takes a holistic view of each person's situation — not just identifying challenges, but helping clients understand their strengths and what steps they can take to improve their health and overall well-being. Recognizing that a neuropsychological evaluation can feel daunting, Dr. Hochberger is committed to making the process as accessible and compassionate as possible, tailoring his care to the unique needs of the individual and their family.
Dr. Hochberger earned his doctorate in clinical psychology with a specialization in neuropsychology from Rosalind Franklin University. He completed his predoctoral internship at the VA Long Beach Healthcare System and a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at the VA San Diego Healthcare System in partnership with the University of California, San Diego. Licensed as a clinical psychologist in California since 2018, he joined Advanced Neurobehavioral Health (ANH) shortly thereafter. His research — focused on neuropsychological deficits in psychotic-spectrum disorders and using innovative biomarkers for tailored cognitive remediation — was recognized as a "Leading Research Achievement" by the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation in 2018. Dr. Hochberger remains actively engaged in the community, serving on the board of the California Psychological Association’s neuropsychology division as well as the Society of Clinical Neuropsychology’s early career neuropsychologist committee.
