It really depends on what you are looking for specifically. Most places like this are not really equipped to handle every student that walks in. I would look to see if the Center itself is accredited, the background of the staff in Center and ask that Center for a list of parents that would refer their services. The only other thing I would look at is whether or not the evaluation is a full one, looking at every aspect of that student. I am always iffy if someone says they just look at the area where the problem exists when dealing with academics, there are far too many things that can affect a student's academic strength. Math struggles don't always come from math specific things.
In NoVA, I would look at Huntington, there are a large amount of Centers with a long history in this area.
