Assessment and Diagnosis:
An accurate Diagnosis is the first step to assuring you get the proper treatment. There are many causes of memory loss and / or cognitive changes. Most of these causes that can either be halted, slowed down and in some cases reversed.
Therefore, it is imperative to have a comprehensive assessment to assure the proper cause of cognitive changes.
Our system includes gathering detailed medical history, performing physical and neurological exams, and utilizing the most advanced diagnostic tools such as cutting edge blood markers and state-of-the-art radiographic exams to pinpoint conditions such as Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s disease, Frontotemporal Dementia, Lewy Body Dementia, or one of many other memory-related disorders.
Comprehensive Cognitive Testing:
We partner with companies who provide us with scientifically validated assessments designed to evaluate various aspects of cognitive functioning, including memory, attention, problem-solving, language, and executive functioning. We also perform additional cognitive assessments for mood related conditions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, as well as advanced testing for individuals who may have additional neurodivergent conditions such as attention deficit disorders.
These tests provide a clear picture of your or your loved one’s cognitive strengths and weaknesses enabling an accurate diagnosis and a comprehensive treatment plan.
Personalized Care Plan:
We provide a comprehensive treatment plan that is tailored to align with the unique needs and cognitive challenges of each patient. The plan includes medical interventions, lifestyle modifications, and therapeutic strategies designed to optimize brain health and improve quality of life.
Science-Validated Cognitive Training:
We use proven, evidence-based cognitive training that is fun and exciting. We design exercises and activities that target the specific cognitive skills needed to enhance brain function and slow cognitive decline. These training sessions can be done at home independently, with a family member, in the office with a provider, or during a telemedicine visit, and are designed to stimulate neuroplasticity, resilience, and help maintain independence and improve cognitive performance.
