¿What it involves?
Dementia in Madrid at Clínica Medivás: a specialist-led assessment focused on memory or cognitive changes, functional impact, medication, medical history and the need for cognitive or imaging assessment.
What is assessed before deciding
Before deciding on a plan, the consultation reviews memory or cognitive changes, functional impact, medication, medical history and the need for cognitive or imaging assessment. Tests are requested only when they can change the diagnosis, safety assessment or treatment decision.
What can realistically be achieved
The goal is to choose a proportionate plan for dementia based on clinical findings and realistic expectations, rather than applying the same technique to every patient. The plan is finalized after matching that goal with the findings from the consultation.
