Dementia Specialists & Neurologists in Los Angeles

Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, according to the CDC. A neurologist is one of the physicians families often contact when memory, language, movement, or thinking changes need a medical workup. Confirm with each office whether that practice evaluates the symptoms and age group you are calling about.

How this NPI-verified Los Angeles directory works

This directory lists neurologists whose names, practice addresses, specialties, and National Provider Identifier (NPI) numbers appear in NPI registry records for Los Angeles. An NPI is a unique ID assigned to health care providers in the United States. Use it to confirm that the person you are calling matches the licensed clinician in the federal registry.

Every clinician below is listed as a neurologist. No geriatrician or geriatric psychiatrist records were included in the source data for this page, so those specialties are not named here. Ask a primary care clinician if you also need a geriatrician or geriatric psychiatrist referral in Los Angeles.

Registry addresses can be a clinic, a medical plaza, a suite, or a mailing file. Always verify the visit location, hours, and whether the office is accepting new patients before you travel. Listing a clinician here does not mean that doctor, clinic, or health system endorses this website or any home care service.

What to ask when you call a Los Angeles neurologist

When you call a Los Angeles neurologist's office, ask whether they evaluate memory and thinking concerns in the age group you need, whether they accept new patients, and what insurance, referral, and records rules apply. Keep a notebook so every office you contact is measured against the same checklist.

• Do you see adults for memory loss, confusion, or other cognitive concerns?
• Are you accepting new patients, and is a physician referral required?
• Which insurance plans do you accept, and do you take Medicare?
• How long is the wait for a new-patient visit?
• Is the NPI-listed address the place we should come, or is care delivered at another site?
• What records should we send before the visit (prior imaging, medication list, hospital notes)?
• May a family member attend, and can you provide an interpreter if we need one?
• Who should we call if symptoms change while we are on the wait list?

Do not use a phone call, or this page, to diagnose Alzheimer's disease or any other condition. The office can tell you whether an evaluation is appropriate. Your clinician decides what testing, if any, comes next.

Neurologists in Westwood and the UCLA area

Samuel Ahn is an NPI-verified neurologist listed at 200 UCLA Medical Plz Ste 265, Los Angeles, CA 90095. That registry address is in the Westwood medical plaza area.

• Samuel Ahn, neurologist, 200 UCLA Medical Plz Ste 265, Los Angeles, CA 90095, NPI 1346699022

Ask whether this location is the visit site, whether a UCLA or other referral is required, and whether the practice evaluates memory and cognitive concerns.

Neurologists in Hollywood

Cameron Adams is an NPI-verified neurologist listed at 7135 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90046. That registry address is on Hollywood Boulevard.

• Cameron Adams, neurologist, 7135 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90046, NPI 1346247392

Confirm current suite information, parking or transit options, and whether new patients with memory concerns are being scheduled.

Neurologists near Sunset Boulevard

Latanya Agurs is an NPI-verified neurologist listed at 4650 W Sunset Blvd # 82, Los Angeles, CA 90027. That registry address is on West Sunset Boulevard.

• Latanya Agurs, neurologist, 4650 W Sunset Blvd # 82, Los Angeles, CA 90027, NPI 1326238569

Ask whether the practice sees the age group you need, because some Sunset Boulevard neurology offices focus on children, adults, or both. Do not assume the NPI specialty label answers that question.

• Margaret Adler, neurologist, 5767 W. Century Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90045, NPI 1457518276
• Jennifer Adrissi, neurologist, 5767 W Century Blvd Ste 400, Los Angeles, CA 90045, NPI 1851782783

These two NPI records share the same building number. Call each office separately. Suites, scheduling, and insurance panels can differ even when the street address looks the same.

Phillip Ahn is an NPI-verified neurologist listed at 520 S Virgil Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90020. That registry address sits in the Koreatown and Mid-Wilshire area of central Los Angeles.

• Phillip Ahn, neurologist, 520 S Virgil Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90020, NPI 1104921832

Ask about language access, referral rules, and whether cognitive evaluations are offered at this Virgil Avenue location.

• Hadi Abou El Hassan, neurologist, 1500 San Pablo St, Los Angeles, CA 90033, NPI 1053995720

Confirm which building entrance or clinic name to use on San Pablo Street, and whether hospital-campus parking or security rules apply to outpatient visits.

Other NPI-listed neurologists in Los Angeles

Kunal Agrawal is an NPI-verified neurologist whose Los Angeles registry record lists a file mailing address rather than a street clinic. Use the NPI number to confirm the current place of service before you schedule or travel.

• Kunal Agrawal, neurologist, File 57326, Los Angeles, CA 90074, NPI 1093074122

A file or PO-style NPI address is still a real registry entry. It is not, by itself, a walk-in clinic address. Ask the office for the visit location, and match the NPI they give you to 1093074122.

Home support while you wait for a specialist

Many Los Angeles families combine a neurology workup with in-home help so daily routines stay safer during long wait times. Specialist visits answer medical questions. Home support covers meals, medication reminders, personal care, and supervision between appointments.

Depending on what your loved one needs, families often look at memory care at home, companion care, personal care, respite care for family caregivers, or 24-hour live-in care when nights are unsafe. If a hospital stay is part of the story, hospital discharge care can help with the return home.

Some Californians also ask about In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS), a public program for eligible people who need help at home. You can learn more about IHSS from California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform. That link is a general program overview. It is not a determination of eligibility, and naming IHSS here does not mean any listed neurologist is connected to that program.

Alzheimer's research centers and further reading

Families who want an Alzheimer's-focused research evaluation can look up National Institute on Aging-funded Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers. Those centers are not the same thing as a community neurology office, and none of the clinicians on this page are described here as research-center staff.

Use the National Institute on Aging tool to find Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers. Bring any research-center advice back to the treating clinician who knows your family member's history. This page does not recommend a study, a drug, or a test.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a neurologist in Los Angeles who may evaluate memory concerns?

Start with the NPI-verified neurologists listed by area on this page, then call to ask whether that office evaluates adults with memory or thinking changes. Samuel Ahn, Cameron Adams, Latanya Agurs, Margaret Adler, Jennifer Adrissi, Phillip Ahn, Hadi Abou El Hassan, and Kunal Agrawal all appear in Los Angeles NPI records as neurologists. An NPI listing is not a promise that a given office treats dementia.

What is an NPI number, and how do I use it when I call?

An NPI number is a unique national ID for a health care provider. Read it back to the scheduler and ask them to confirm it matches the clinician you want. Each listing above includes the NPI from the registry record, such as 1346699022 for Samuel Ahn.

Does this directory include geriatricians and geriatric psychiatrists in Los Angeles?

No. The source data for this page includes NPI-verified neurologists only. If you need a geriatrician or a geriatric psychiatrist, ask your primary care clinician for a referral and still use the calling questions above to check new-patient status, insurance, and visit location.

Do any of these doctors or clinics endorse this website?

No. These names and addresses are published as local directory information from NPI records. A listing is not a recommendation, a clinical referral, or a claim that any doctor, medical plaza, or agency supports this service.

How can I double-check that a Los Angeles neurologist listing is current?

Match the name, address, and NPI on this page to what the office tells you, and open the NPI registry link next to that clinician. Records can change. If the phone number, suite, or city the office gives you does not line up, pause and verify before you share medical records or travel across Los Angeles.
