Tiffany has been excellent and a very kind and understanding person. Overall, my experiences at the Brain Center have helped me a lot; I’ve noticed a wonderful transformation. Ever since I was a child, I was miserable. I wasn’t expecting anyone to understand me as much as everyone does. I’m glad I’m not as alone as I thought.

Since working with Dr. Bullard and his staff, Jager’s grades have sky rocketed! We came to Acuity Brain Center because Jager, who had been diagnosed with dysgraphia, struggled with reading and tracking. He would often have to read and reread his school work to make sense of what he was reading. It was extremely frustrating for him because his schoolwork took so much longer than it should have. Dr. Bullard recommended a combination of Neurotherapy and Interactive Metronome. After just a few weeks Jager started to notice a big difference. I could see the excitement in him as he told me that he was able to just sit down and read. It no longer felt like a struggle. Since completing treatment with Acuity Brain Center, Jager has consistently been on the Honor Roll and has had Straight A’s in all his core classes!!!! We could not be more satisfied with the care we received at Acuity Brain Center. Thank you to Dr. Bullard and all the ABC staff!

to provide high quality, cutting edge, convenient medical care to their patients. Because of his vision, he demands that Acuity Brain Center and MaxHealth provide the latest in technology and medical care. He explains, “Traditional medical practices are a thing of the past. We must keep abreast of the newest medical information and provide the highest level of medical service. That is the kind of treatment our patients deserve.”

Recognized as a leader in his area, he has become one of the highest volume providers of both medical and mental healthcare delivery in North Texas. In addition to working with patients, over the years Dr. Bullard has been asked to educate his peers throughout the state regarding the diagnosis and treatment of depression. Furthermore, because of his experience Dr. Bullard has been asked to serve as a medical expert for legal cases involving both mental health and non-mental health related issues. Additionally, Dr. Bullard is currently working on a book, which explores effective ways to change negative health habits.

Recognizing a need for improvements in symptom testing tools that allow for testing and not fully satisfied with existing mental health tests, Dr. Bullard wanted a tool that would allow for rapid but thorough testing. Utilizing his experience, while maintaining an eye on the basics, he created the AssessMD Testing Questionnaires. The AssessMD Questionnaires are innovative testing tools that allows for testing on multiple levels. As a result, AssessMD.com was born. This web-based Automated Scoring System for Evaluation of Signs and Symptoms, ASSESS, was created to allow providers an effective and efficient tool for evaluating and treating their patients.

Jeffrey M. Bullard, MD attended Creighton University’s School of Medicine earning his Doctor of Medicine Degree in 1993. He served as Class President and received the national Upjohn Achievement Award for outstanding medical student. In 1996 he completed his Family Practice Residency in Norfolk, Virginia, where he served as chief resident and received the Isadore Marman Award for outstanding resident. He has been board certified in Family Medicine since 1996.

Dr. Bullard was a pioneer in changing the old, accepted norm of long wait times and hurried, impersonal medical care. He structured schedules that allowed for both scheduled appointments and walk-in appointments every day throughout the day, now coined the ‘open access’ model. Still more impressively, when his practice opened its doors in 1998, it boasted an entirely electronic record system, a rarity at that time. In 1998, as a result of his innovative thinking, Dr. Bullard was featured in the statewide Dallas-Fort Worth Healthcare Journal, in recognition of his progressive approach. For his absolute and unwavering persistence on innovation, customer respect and high quality care, Dr. Bullard was honored by being voted a “Top Doc” of Fort Worth by his peers. Dr. Bullard has also been featured repeatedly on the television show Top Docs of DFW. As a furtherance of his passion to provide patients with cutting edge health-care, Dr. Bullard formed and serves as medical director of Acuity Brain Center.

She began volunteering for events in the Lion’s Club, Prevent Blindness, Crisis Intervention Centers, and nursing homes in her early teens. Beginning her Bachelorette work at the University of Texas in El Paso, Tiffany had hopes of having a dual degree in Psychology and music to integrate the two into a Music Therapy degree due to her many years of experience in piano and flute. This led her to the University of North Texas where she changed majors to Psychology and Spanish, as growing up in a predominantly Hispanic culture led her to be bilingual.

The growing need for counselors in the Rehabilitation field led Tiffany to the Department of Rehabilitation, Social Work, and Addictions where she completed her Master’s of Science and first learned and fell in love with EEG Biofeedback (Neurofeedback). Tiffany began her studies in Neurofeedback at the University of North Texas’ Neurotherapy Lab. Recognized for her skills, she became Clinical Coordinator and assisted in the training, teaching, and mentoring of Neurofeedback students. As a result of her exposure to the research and training at UNT, Tiffany’s understanding of the need for total life coaching combined with Neurofeedback was reinforced. Consequently, she integrates Neurofeedback with counseling, self-regulation, family lifestyles, diet, exercise, sleep, allergies, parenting, and multi-modal interventions to obtain the greatest treatment result.

In addition to her work at Acuity Brain Center, Tiffany conducts QEEG assessments, Neurofeedback, and Bio-Acoustical Utilization Device (BAUD) training at The Lawlis Peavey PsychoNeuroPlasticity (PNP) Center. Dedicated to her commitment to fulfill her vision of an integrated, mind-body approach to patient counseling, Tiffany founded the Applied Brain-Body Solutions Clinic. Additionally, having secured a position as a leader in the field, Tiffany serves as a consultant for numerous facilities in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. She has served on the Board for the Biofeedback Society of Texas and has been a long-standing member of the International Society of Neurofeedback and Research, as well as the Association of Applied Psychophysiologial Biofeedback.

Aside from keeping a very active role as a Licensed Professional Counselor and in the treatment of patients with Neurofeedback, Tiffany believes firmly in being involved in her family life with her husband and five-year-old son. She values spirituality, diet and exercise, as well as playing a large role in the school activities of her son.
