Dementia Specialists & Neurologists in Charlotte

This directory lists NPI-verified neurologists with Charlotte addresses so families can begin calls about memory, thinking, and daily-function changes. It is not a ranking or a referral, and none of the clinicians named below endorse this service. For a wider view of local support, use the Charlotte care hub.

Every name below is listed as a neurologist in NPI records. Ask each office whether that clinician evaluates cognitive disorders before you book. Call using the number on the practice website or in the clinician's NPI record. This page does not publish phone numbers.

What dementia is and why families call a neurologist

Dementia is a general term for a decline in memory, thinking, and the ability to manage daily activities that is severe enough to interfere with everyday life. The CDC overview of dementia describes those effects on memory, thinking, and daily function.

A neurologist evaluates disorders of the brain and nervous system. Families in Charlotte often start with primary care and then request a neurology visit when memory or thinking changes continue. This page does not diagnose anyone or recommend treatment. Confirm that the office offers cognitive or memory evaluations, and bring a family member who can describe day-to-day function if the patient agrees.

Neurologists listing 1225 Harding Pl

Three NPI-verified neurologists list 1225 HARDING PL, CHARLOTTE, NC 282042826 as their address. Confirm the suite, check-in door, and whether cognitive visits are offered there, because an NPI address can be administrative rather than a public clinic entrance.

Geriatricians and geriatric psychiatrists in Charlotte

This Charlotte extract does not include NPI-verified geriatricians or geriatric psychiatrists. If those specialties are what you want, ask primary care for a referral to a board-certified geriatrician or geriatric psychiatrist, or look for a memory clinic or older-adult behavioral health program. Confirm the clinician's NPI and street address yourself rather than relying on a hospital name from memory.

What to ask when you call a Charlotte neurology office

When you call a Charlotte neurology office, say you are seeking an evaluation for memory or thinking changes and ask whether that neurologist sees patients for cognitive disorders.

• Does this neurologist evaluate memory loss, Alzheimer's disease, or other dementias?
• Is a physician referral required, and which records should we send ahead?
• What is the wait for a new cognitive evaluation?
• Which insurance plans does the office accept?
• Is the visit in person at the listed address, at another suite, or by telehealth?
• May a family member attend, and should we bring a medication list and a timeline of changes?
• How will findings be shared with primary care and with any home-care team?

Give staff the NPI number from this page so they match the correct clinician when several doctors share an address. Write down the street location they give you. Do not use a P.O. Box as a drop-off point for the patient.

Alzheimer's research centers and planning after diagnosis

Families who want an Alzheimer's Disease Research Center evaluation can search the National Institute on Aging directory instead of assuming a local hospital offers that program. The NIA directory of Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers is the search tool for those centers. This page does not name a Charlotte research center.

After an Alzheimer's diagnosis, legal and financial planning is often a separate step from the neurology visit. NIA guidance on legal and financial planning for people with Alzheimer's outlines those planning topics in general terms.

Pairing specialist visits with care at home in Charlotte

Specialist visits in Charlotte can run alongside in-home support so daily routines, meals, and supervision continue between appointments. NIA's overview of long-term care describes long-term care as services that help with health or personal care needs over a period of time.

Families waiting for a first neurology visit often start with companion care for supervision and daily structure, or personal care when dressing, bathing, or toileting need hands-on help. When memory changes are the main concern at home, memory care at home is the service path built around familiar routines.

Caregivers who need to attend the appointment themselves may use respite care for a short break. If overnight support is required, some households look at 24-hour live-in care. If the person is leaving a hospital, ask the discharge planner about neurology follow-up and consider hospital discharge care for the first days at home.

Eligible veterans and surviving spouses can also review Aid and Attendance and Housebound allowance information from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. VA Aid and Attendance and Housebound benefits are described on that VA page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a dementia neurologist in Charlotte?

Use the NPI-verified neurologists listed on this page by address, then call the practice listed on their site or NPI record and ask whether that clinician evaluates memory and cognitive disorders. Ask primary care for a referral if the office requires one. Citywide home-care context is on the Charlotte hub page.

Does this list mean each doctor is a dementia specialist?

No. Each person is listed as a neurologist in NPI data. A neurologist may or may not focus on dementia. Ask the office directly whether that clinician evaluates dementia, Alzheimer's disease, or other cognitive disorders.

Why is a Charlotte neurologist's address a P.O. Box?

Some NPI records use a mailing address. Indrani Acosta and Ghazal Ahmad list PO BOX 60447, CHARLOTTE, NC 282600447, and Robert Adams lists PO BOX 751461, CHARLOTTE, NC 282751461. Do not go to a P.O. Box for care. Confirm the street location before you schedule.

Are there geriatric psychiatrists or geriatricians on this Charlotte directory?

Not in this extract. This page names neurologists only. For geriatrics or geriatric psychiatry, ask primary care for a referral, or look for a memory clinic or older-adult behavioral health program and verify that clinician's NPI and visit address.

What should I ask when I call a Charlotte neurology office?

Ask whether the neurologist evaluates memory loss and cognitive disorders, whether a referral is required, how long new patients wait, which insurance is accepted, where to check in, and whether a family member may attend. Give the NPI number so staff identify the correct clinician.

Can we arrange in-home help in Charlotte while we wait for a specialist?

Yes. Many families set up companion care, personal care, or memory care at home in parallel with the neurology workup so daily needs are covered during a wait. That is practical support, not a diagnosis or a substitute for a physician evaluation.

Where can I look for an Alzheimer's Disease Research Center?

Use the National Institute on Aging directory of Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers rather than guessing at a local hospital program. Search that NIA listing, then confirm location, eligibility, and referral rules with the center you find.
