Dementia Specialists & Neurologists in Detroit

This page lists real, NPI-verified neurologists who publish a Detroit practice or mailing address. It is a directory of public registry listings, not a referral list, and it does not mean any named clinician or clinic endorses this site.

The verified set below includes neurologists only. No separately verified geriatricians or geriatric psychiatrists appear in this Detroit extract, so families should ask each office whether the clinician evaluates memory or thinking changes in older adults.

How this Detroit specialist directory is organized

This directory groups NPI-verified neurologists by the Detroit street and ZIP information published in the National Provider Identifier registry. Listings use the name, address, specialty, and NPI number exactly as recorded; no phone numbers are added here because none were supplied in the source records.

Use each NPI link to re-check the public registry before you call. Addresses can change, and a registry location is not the same as a confirmed appointment slot or a confirmed dementia clinic.

Neurologist listed with a Detroit post office box

One NPI-verified neurologist in this Detroit set is published with a post office box mailing address rather than a street clinic. A PO Box is useful for registry matching, but you still need a current office phone and visit location from the practice itself.

• Dilawer Abbas - neurologist. Address: PO Box 781076, Detroit, MI 482781076. NPI: 1326011628. Verify this NPI record.

What to ask when you call a Detroit neurologist

When you call a Detroit neurology office, ask whether the clinician evaluates memory or thinking changes in older adults, whether a referral is required, and how to confirm the current office location. Keep the call practical. This page cannot diagnose a condition or tell you which test or medication is appropriate.

• Are you accepting new adult patients for memory, thinking, or behavior changes?
• Do we need a referral from a primary care clinician?
• Which insurance plans do you accept, and what should we bring to the first visit?
• Is the NPI address still the place we should arrive, and is parking or building entry different from the mailing address?
• How long is the wait for a new evaluation, and can records or imaging be sent ahead?
• If this listing is at a children's hospital or a PO Box, who should we call instead for an older adult?

Write down the answers before you hang up. If the office does not evaluate cognitive concerns, ask whether they can point you to another neurology or geriatrics scheduler in the same building.

Home support alongside Detroit specialist care

Home support such as memory-focused help, companion care, and respite can help Detroit families manage daily routines between specialist visits. A neurology appointment is only one part of the week. Many households also need help with meals, safety, personal care, or overnight coverage while they wait for records, imaging, or a follow-up date.

Families comparing in-home options can review memory care at home, companion care, personal care, and respite care. After a hospital stay, hospital discharge care can help with the first days back home, and some households later look at 24-hour live-in care if nights become unsafe.

None of those services replace a medical evaluation. They are practical supports you can arrange while you work through Detroit clinic schedules.

Where to learn more about Alzheimer's disease and research centers

Federal public-health pages explain Alzheimer's disease and point families toward National Institute on Aging research centers when they want background information or clinical-study options. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia, according to the CDC overview of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

If you want to see whether a research center or study site is a fit after a clinical visit, the National Institute on Aging maintains a locator to find an Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. Those pages are educational. They do not enroll someone in care through this directory, and they do not mean any Detroit clinician listed above is affiliated with a specific center.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which neurologists in Detroit are NPI-verified on this page?
This page includes Dilawer Abbas, Waleed Raheem Abood Abood, Amer Aboukasm, Tasneem Abu-Zahra, Gyula Acsadi, Joshua Adler, Muhammad Affan, and Morgan Aguirre. Each listing shows the published Detroit address, the specialty "neurologist," and an NPI number you can re-check in the public registry.

Are geriatricians and geriatric psychiatrists included for Detroit?
Not in this verified extract. The source records provided here are neurologists only. If you specifically need geriatrics or geriatric psychiatry, ask a current primary care office or the neurology scheduler whether those specialties see patients in the same clinic building.

How can I check that a Detroit neurologist's address is still current?
Use the NPI number and registry link next to each name, then call the practice to confirm the visit address. One listing is only PO Box 781076, and another is published as Childrens Hospital MI Neurology, so those two especially need a live confirmation before you travel.

What should I ask when I call about memory changes?
Ask whether the neurologist evaluates older adults for memory or thinking changes, whether a referral is required, what insurance is accepted, how long the wait is, and where you should actually arrive. Do not expect a diagnosis or treatment plan over the phone from a directory page or a first scheduling call.

Does being listed here mean a doctor treats Alzheimer's disease or endorses this site?
No. These clinicians are listed because the NPI registry records them as neurologists with Detroit addresses. A listing is not a claim that they run a dementia clinic, accept every patient, or endorse this service.

Can home care help while we wait for a Detroit neurology appointment?
Yes, many families add in-home help for safety, daily tasks, or caregiver breaks while they wait. Compare local options on the Detroit hub and the memory, companion, and respite pages linked above, then keep any medical questions for the licensed clinician you eventually see.

Why is there no phone number next to these Detroit doctors?
The source records used for this page include names, addresses, specialties, and NPI numbers, not telephone numbers. Publishing a number that was not in those records would be guesswork, so the safer step is to confirm contact details with the office after you verify the NPI listing.
