What Are Dementia & Early Memory Changes?
Understanding where your loved one is on the cognitive journey is the first step toward the right care. The earlier we detect and treat, the better the chance to slow the disease and protect what matters most.
Stage 0
Normal Cognition
No memory or thinking concerns. Regular screening helps establish a baseline for future comparison.
Stage 1–2
Early Memory Changes
Noticeable changes in memory or thinking that go beyond what's typical. Often manageable - and treatable when caught early.
Stage 3+
Dementia
A progressive decline affecting daily function. Mindspan Bay Area provides advanced therapies, ongoing clinical care, and access to the latest science for all stages.
Why Choose a Specialized Memory Center in the Bay Area?
General neurologists see patients with dozens of conditions. At Mindspan Bay Area, our team specializes exclusively in memory and cognitive disorders - giving you access to advanced diagnostics, FDA-approved therapies, clinical trials, and a clinical care team that stays with you from first assessment through ongoing treatment.
Subspecialty expertise you can't get elsewhere
Our clinicians train specifically in early-stage Alzheimer's, Lewy Body, vascular dementia, and frontotemporal disorders.
No 18-month wait - seen within weeks
Today, many patients wait months to see a specialist. By the time they are evaluated, they may already be outside the window where treatment can meaningfully slow the disease. Our Bay Area clinic prioritizes rapid access so treatment can begin while it is most effective.
Our Bay Area clinic moves quickly - using advanced diagnostics, biomarkers, imaging, and AI-supported tools - to identify disease early and start the right treatment. Act early to help preserve your loved one's independence, identity, and quality of life.
