Preparation for Your Appointment
To schedule an evaluation at the Fein Memory and Aging Center, follow these steps:
- Referral: Please have your referring physician send a referral letter, including insurance information and authorization, to the clinic. The letter should explain the reason for referral and summarize your condition.
- Review: Our clinic staff will review your referral and medical records to determine if this service is suitable for you.
- Scheduling: If accepted, a patient care coordinator will contact you to schedule an appointment. Please note that new patient appointments are typically booked several months in advance.
Evaluation
At the appointment, each patient undergoes a comprehensive evaluation, which typically lasts 2–4 hours and includes:
- Neurological assessment
- Cognitive testing
- Detailed medical history, including input from someone who knows the patient well
Our multidisciplinary approach helps identify the cause(s) of the patient’s symptoms and provides personalized treatment recommendations tailored to their specific needs. Feedback may include a preliminary diagnosis or deferral of diagnosis until additional information is gathered. A detailed written report with results and recommendations will be sent to the referring physician after clinical consensus is achieved.

The Fein Memory and Aging Center staff also reflects a range of cultural backgrounds to ensure inclusive care.
