Memory & Cognitive Disorders
Comprehensive Memory Care in One Visit
Our Interdisciplinary Memory Clinic brings together multiple specialists in a single, coordinated appointment to evaluate memory and thinking concerns. Patients and families receive same-day feedback, clear recommendations, and a unified care plan—all in one visit.
Interdisciplinary Memory Clinic
The Interdisciplinary Memory Clinic provides care for people experiencing changes in memory, thinking, or behavior. Our clinic brings together multiple specialists who work as one team to better understand each patient’s needs and provide clear guidance for next steps. The clinic is co-directed by Drs. Eitan Kimchi and Kyle Jennette.
What makes our clinic unique is that patients see several specialists in a single half-day visit. At many hospitals, this type of care requires multiple appointments over weeks or months. In our clinic, evaluations are coordinated into one visit, helping patients and families get answers sooner and with less stress.
Our team focuses on understanding the whole person—not just test results. We consider medical history, medications, mood, daily functioning, and social and cultural factors that may affect memory and brain health. This team-based approach allows us to develop thoughtful, individualized recommendations.
Each specialist looks at brain health from a different perspective. By working together during the same visit, our team shares information, discusses findings, and develops a unified care plan in real time.
Our Team Includes Specialists in:
- Neuropsychology
- Geriatric Psychiatry
- Neuropsychiatry
- Neurology
- Geriatric Medicine
- Pharmacy
At the end of the half-day visit, patients and families receive same-day feedback with clear explanations and practical recommendations from the full team. Our goal is not only to understand what is happening, but also to help patients live well and plan confidently for the future. We also collaborate closely with the Alzheimer’s Association to support access to education, resources, and community services.

What to Expect During Your Visit
Before the visit:
Patients may be asked to complete questionnaires or share medical records ahead of time. Family members or caregivers are strongly encouraged to attend and participate in the evaluation.
During the visit:
The clinic visit is designed to be completed in a half day. Patients meet with several members of the care team for evaluations based on each specialist’s area of expertise. The visit includes clinical interviews and a brief neuropsychological evaluation, such as tests of memory and other thinking skills.
After the evaluation:
Once all providers have seen the patient, the team meets to review findings and develop recommendations. Patients and families are given time for a break before returning for same-day feedback. The team then explains results, answers questions, and reviews next steps in clear, understandable language.
After the Visit
Patients leave the clinic with:
- A clear summary of findings
- Guidance about diagnosis or areas of concern
- Practical recommendations for treatment, lifestyle, and safety
- Suggestions for follow-up care and community resources
- Recommendation for additional evaluation and follow up with our team, if necessary.
For referring providers, the clinic delivers a coordinated, interdisciplinary assessment with clear, actionable recommendations to support ongoing care.
Our Commitment
Beyond diagnosis, we are committed to helping people live well with memory changes. We focus on practical strategies to support daily life, address contributing medical and emotional factors, and improve overall quality of life. Our goal is to partner with patients, families, and providers through compassionate, coordinated care.
