WE HAVE A SUB-SPECIALTY IN MEMORY DISORDERS
Our physicians are noted specialists in the field of primary care for memory disorders. Alamar Healthcare doctors evaluate a patient’s medical history, determine a patient’s ability to carry out routine tasks, and observe changes in the patient’s behavior or personality. Specialists may be called upon by our doctors to perform tests to assess memory, problem solving, attention, and language skills; they may order medical tests to check urine and blood; and possibly order brain scans (CT, MRI), Together with the patient, their family if involved, and specialists working as a team, our physicians will diagnose the patient and develop a treatment plan. 
The most common memory disorder we see in younger seniors is Mild Alzheimer's dementia which is characterized by a one or more of these symptoms: 

  • Memory problems, getting lost, difficulty managing money, repeating questions, losing things, or taking longer to do routine tasks.
  • Should these symptom become so severe as to impair an individual’s quality of work or quality of life, or if there are notable changes in behavioral health, tests are recommended to rule out Alzheimer’s Disease or other related dementia disorders.
