What type of specialist doctor should a person affected with dementia be taken to?
Patient: I have. neighbor whose mother has dementia that was diagnosed by a family physician. The family would like to see a specialist that can answer more specific answers and make sure this is the correct diagnosis. If the mother does definitely have dementia, they want a plan of care. What type of specialist should they take their mother to? Thank you very much. Doctor: Hello,   You can take the patient who has been diagnosed with dementia to a Geriatrician for better management. You can even consult Geriatric Psychiatrist, Neurologists or Neuropsychologist's for tests related to memory & thinking.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
