Marin memory clinic

The Marin Memory Clinic utilizes a multi-disciplinary approach to the evaluation and management of memory problems. Our team can determine if you or a loved one’s memory problems are due to normal changes that occur with aging, treatable physical causes, or progressive changes in brain functioning.
Our clinic has a highly specialized team of service providers that are specifically trained in the diagnosis and treatment of memory disorders.
The Marin Memory Clinic clinicians will take the time to answer questions and provide an individualized and comprehensive care and treatment plan for each patient.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my memory problems are serious? As we age, we all experience a natural decline in memory and cognitive functioning. However, if your memory problems consistently interfere with your daily life, then you may need an evaluation.
What are some signs that memory problems may be a concern? A person with memory problems may: often repeat themselves or ask the same question multiple times; have trouble managing finances and doing calculations; need constant reminders to do things like chores, shopping or taking medicine.
Is there really something that can be done about memory loss and cognitive decline? Yes. As more and more research is done, we are continually making advances in medication and other rehabilitative treatments. The important thing to consider is that the earlier we identify specific brain changes in an individual, the more options and benefits can be derived from treatment.

What To Expect During Your Clinic Evaluation
You and your family (if present) will meet with a clinician for an hour and he/she will conduct a thorough and comprehensive interview to gain an in-depth understanding of the problem.
After the interview, we will administer a series of non-invasive cognitive tests to determine how your brain is working. The testing takes about two hours to complete.
