What Is a Neurocognitive Specialist?

A Neurocognitive Specialist is a medical professional who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of all types of cognitive disorders including neurodegenerative diseases, that lead to cognitive impairment and dementia.
 
Neurodegenerative disorders are diseases that cause the progressive degeneration and death of nerve cells in the brain, leading to a range of neurological symptoms such as memory loss and dementia, loss of ability to communicate with others, and loss of the ability to function independently.
 
Conditions we treat: 
 
  • Alzheimer’s Disease 
  • Vascular Dementia 
  • Lewy Body Dementia 
  • Mild Cognitive Impairment
  • Frontotemporal Dementia 
  • Mixed Dementia

What does cognitive impairment look like?

Cognitive impairment is represented by changes in speech, memory, and motor skills that do not necessarily affect a person’s ability to go about their everyday lives. However, the changes are serious enough that you or your loved ones may have noticed a difference.

These symptoms can be early signs of Alzheimer’s Disease or other types of Dementia. The sooner we identify and provide treatment, the better the outcome.

What Our Patients Say About MTC

Amy Sutemeier
Dr. Giles and the entire staff at Memory Treatment Centers of Jacksonville have given me hope for the first time! I wish I’d gone here sooner. An Alzheimer’s diagnosis for a loved one is scary but the behavior changes, safety risks, and unknown expectations make it terrifying. After 12 months of testing and evaluations without any “treatment” at another healthcare provider, we finally went to MTC and from the first appointment, Dr. Giles started an actual treatment plan. He connected me with a caretaker program through Medicare called GUIDE. He and his staff have made my mom feel optimistic about slowing the disease progression and I feel supported as her caretaker. I’m so grateful for Dr. Giles and MTC!
