Mission

Our Mission

Optimizing brain function through comprehensive healthcare

Who we are

We are a multi-disciplinary healthcare team bridging across multiple brain-focused specialties, including:

  • neurology

  • psychiatry

  • neuropsychiatry

  • neuropsychology

  • neuro-nutrition

  • educational development

  • physical therapy

  • social work

  • patient care management

By bringing together these specialties into a single coherent team, our goal is to avoid fractionation of care, leverage therapeutic synergies to deliver more effective treatment, and thereby facilitate ambitiously optimizing functionality to maximum-possible potential, and sustaining optimal brain health over time.

What we do

  1. A comprehensive evaluation of:

  • Cognition

    • executive function

      • attention

      • information processing

      • decision-making/judgment

    • language

    • memory

    • visual processing

  • mood regulation

  • sleep-wake cycle regulation

  • motor function

    • movement 

      • coordination

      • dexterity

    • postural stability

    • gait

  • sensory function

  • medical systems

    • cardiovascular

    • respiratory

      • e.g., sleep-related function

    • gastrointestinal

    • other systems as relevant

2. Consequent comprehensive diagnostic understanding is then used to inventory goals of care consistent with patient/family prioritization.

3. We design a correspondingly comprehensive goal-focused treatment plan.

4. We then execute treatment plan by means of synergistically-coordinated multidisciplinary management to efficiently achieve identified goals of care.  

5. Age range from adolescent to advanced elderly.

Indications for our approach 

Using a fully integrated approach to brain and behavior, we focus on:

  • Optimizing cognitive proficiency (independent of any illness)

  • Protecting brain health across the lifespan

  • Innovating management of challenging/complex neurocognitive/neuropsychiatric syndromes

Syndromes we specialize in managing

  • Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) 

  • Alzheimer’s Disease (AD)

  • Fronto-Temporal Dementia (FTD) 

  • Dementia with Lewy Bodies Disease (DLB) 

  • Parkinson’s disease-related cognitive dysfunction 

  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI) 

  • Epilepsy-related cognitive dysfunction

  • Stroke-related cognitive dysfunction

  • Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)

  • Other neurologic disorder-related cognitive impairments (e.g., multiple sclerosis)

Advanced Diagnostic Methodology

Diagnostic assessments can include:

  • Neurologic examination 

  • Comprehensive medical examination

  • Neuropsychiatric evaluation

  • Neuropsychological testing (paper/computerized measurements of cognitive and emotional function) 

  • Structural and functional brain imaging (e.g., brain MRI scan, PET scan, amyloid PET scan)  

  • Brain electrical function testing (electroencephalography (EEG))

  • Blood tests (to examine metabolic and nutritional evidence, and detect other treatable causes of cognitive symptoms and design neuroprotective regimens)

  • Genetic testing

  • Spinal fluid analysis
