Screenings & Assessments

Screenings and Assessments

Screening helps identify concerns early, when there are more options. Screenings at K. Johns Medical are completed securely and reviewed with you by a clinician.

Screening tools help identify symptoms that may need further evaluation. They do not independently establish a diagnosis or replace a comprehensive medical or psychiatric assessment.

Screening questionnaires are never collected or scored through this website. Every screening is completed securely on this website and sent directly to the office.
