Dr.  Saible is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist with the American Academy of Professional Psychology. She has worked with varying adult populations in both hospital and outpatient settings providing neuropsychological and psychological evaluations.

Sinai Medical Center and NYU Medical Center, her neuropsychology internship at Dartmouth Medical Center, and her neuropsychology fellowship at Cornell Medical Center. Dr. Saible has been working in private practice for the last six years.

Dr. Saible works with adults who have neurological, medical, or neurodevelopmental disorders by helping to identify their limitations and providing recommendations for interventions that will improve and maintain a healthy quality of life. She often works with older adults who are concerned about a possible decline in functioning by determining if the person is showing a cognitive and emotional profile that is consistent with a dementia process or if there is some other causal factor (e.g., depression) that can mimic the signs of dementia.

Dr. Saible also performs CMEs and IMEs in personal injury lawsuits. She has given expert testimony related these cases.

Originally from New Jersey, Dr. Saible and her husband moved to Saint Petersburg FL in 2014 to enjoy the sunshine and sand. Since then, their family has grown by two children and three Labrador Retrievers.

Dr. Ryan Hafner, M.D. joined Central Neurology in 2022 and is a board certified physician in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (also referred to as a “physiatrist”). He provides long-term comprehensive neurological disability care for adult patients affected by diagnoses such as stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, focal and cervical dystonia, neuropathies, painful muscle spasms, contractures, and others. His main focus is to improve quality of life and maximize physical function such as the ability to walk or transfer, hold an item, perform activities of daily living such as dressing and hygiene, tolerate wheelchair positioning, and more. Everything he does is directed by the patient’s overall goals and he utilizes a holistic and well-balanced combination of therapy, equipment, bracing and splinting, oral medications, nerve and muscle injections, spinal infusion pumps, and referrals to surgery as needed to achieve these goals.
Dr. Hafner received his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology & Certificate in Business Administration from Creighton University in Omaha, NE where he graduated summa cum laude. He then went on to receive his medical degree at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, NE. He completed an internship in Internal Medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, WI followed by top-10 nationally ranked residency training in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Temple University Hospital / MossRehab in Philadelphia, PA. During his time in residency, he was elected as Chief Resident and received the “Resident of the Year” award at graduation. He then finished further specialized training with a one-year fellowship in Interventional Spasticity Management at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA.

Dr. Hafner’s whole family lives in St. Petersburg and he is very happy to be able to reunite with them for fun in the sun when he is outside of the clinic.
