Memory Clinics & Diagnosis
Michigan Medicine Cognitive Disorders Program
University of Michigan Health (Michigan Medicine)
University of Michigan Health's dedicated clinical program for diagnosing and treating memory and cognitive disorders.
Who it's for
Michigan families who need an actual clinical appointment -- a diagnostic evaluation, a second opinion, or ongoing specialist care -- rather than research participation.
When to use this
When a primary care provider refers for a cognitive evaluation, or when a family wants a comprehensive workup from a team spanning neurology, nursing, and social work.
Why MemoryPath recommends this
It brings neurology, nursing, and social work together in one clinical program, so a family gets a coordinated evaluation and care plan rather than being referred separately to multiple specialists.
Services provided
- Comprehensive cognitive and memory evaluations
- Ongoing specialist care for diagnosed dementia
- Coordinated support from neurology, nursing, and social work
- Access to University of Michigan's broader neurology resources
What to expect
This is a clinical program, not a research center -- if you need an actual diagnostic appointment or ongoing care rather than to explore research participation, this is the more direct path within University of Michigan Health.
A coordinated team
Rather than seeing a neurologist, then separately trying to find social work support, the Cognitive Disorders Program brings those disciplines together around one patient, which tends to produce a more complete care plan.
A note on cost
As a standard clinical program, visits are billed through insurance like any specialist appointment -- confirm coverage and referral requirements with your insurance plan before scheduling.
