Which Specialist Should One Consult For Early Stage Dementia?
My 83 year old father has been diagnosed with early stage dementia. He has a GP who he has seen for 40 years. I think he should now see a specialist to talk about proper screening for any other underlying health issues, and treatment plans. His GP said he has tried two drugs on other patients, but they "don't work". What do you recommend?
thank you.
