As we age, it is quite common to experience some memory loss. Some people may have trouble retrieving names or finding the right words, while others may forget conversations or how to perform routine daily tasks.
The Memory Evaluation Clinic at the Roger Dionne, MD, Senior Center can help determine whether recurring memory lapses are simple forgetfulness or the signs of a more serious memory problem. The clinic offers a comprehensive evaluation and assessment that may include:
- A complete physical exam and detailed medical history
- Evaluation of behavioral changes and family concerns
- Comprehensive neurological exam
- An in-depth psychiatric assessment
- Neuropsychological testing
- Recommendations for treatment
- Assessment of follow-up treatment and/or services for the patient and the family
The Memory Evaluation Clinic offers expert diagnostic and clinical services. An interdisciplinary team of specialists in psychology and neuropsychology partner with our physician, nurse practitioners, and social worker who all have extensive training in cognitive and memory disorders. The team coordinates care closely with primary care physicians, families, and caregivers to promote the best possible outcomes for each patient.
