Primary Physician/Geriatrician
Your primary care physician is your health care co-pilot. They deliver your overall care for non-dementia-related conditions, and partner with our Memory clinic. You generally start with an initial evaluation with your primary physician for a brief cognitive assessment, review reversible conditions that may affect cognitive functions, review high-risk medications that affect cognitive functions, & order initial labs and possibly brain imaging.
