Conditions We Treat

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive loss of brain cell function and number, resulting in symptoms like confusion, loss of memory and social skills, and overall brain function (dementia). Most often seen in older adults, genetics (runs in the family) and lifestyle seem to play a factor. Women are more likely to develop Alzheimer's than men. Depending on the person, it can progress slowly or quickly, and there is no cure.

Frontotemporal dementia is a type of dementia causes by damage to neurons in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. This rare type of dementia occurs at a younger age than other types of dementia, often in people 45 to 64 years old.

Lewy body dementia is a type of dementia caused by the buildup of proteins in the brain. It is the second most common type of dementia.

Memory disorders are a group of disorders that cause dementia and brain function impairment, including Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, (front part of the brain), Lewy body dementia (visions of objects that are not there).

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the result of a blow to the head or body with an impulsive force transmitted to the head. These can have different severity, the mildest of which is also called concussion. Common causes of TBI include participation in contact sports, falls, motor vehicle collisions, and assaults.
