Provides diagnosis, treatment and ongoing care for patients who have progressive disorders that cause amnesia and dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease. Physicians, neuropsychologists and nurse practitioners specialize in diagnosing those patients whose illness is progressing rapidly or those who are experiencing symptoms at a young age. Prefers to see patients at the beginning of these problems, including those experiencing very mild cognitive impairment, because accurate and early diagnosis means more time to plan, more time to participate in research, and the opportunity to participate in decisions about care. Combines customized care, education about each patient’s options and ongoing support to ensure patients receive the right treatment and the appropriate follow-up care.
