Dementia Specialists & Neurologists in Milwaukee

Families searching for NPI-verified neurologists in Milwaukee can use this directory to find practitioners whose National Provider Identifier records list Milwaukee practice addresses. This page is an informational listing only. It is not a diagnosis tool, a treatment plan, or a claim that any named clinician, clinic, or hospital endorses this service.

The records available for this page are neurologists. If you are also comparing home support options while you wait for an appointment, start with the Milwaukee city care guide.

How this Milwaukee directory is organized

This directory groups NPI-verified neurologists by the Milwaukee street area listed on each NPI record so you can start with an office that is closer to home. Addresses, specialty labels, and NPI numbers below come from those records. No phone numbers are included here because none were provided in the source data, and none should be assumed.

A neurologist is a physician who evaluates disorders of the brain and nervous system. That does not automatically mean every listed doctor focuses on memory clinics. When you call, ask whether the practice sees patients for cognitive or memory concerns.

Neurologists on West Wisconsin Avenue

Four NPI-verified neurologists list practice addresses on West Wisconsin Avenue in Milwaukee. This cluster is useful if you live on the west side of the city or can travel to the West Wisconsin Avenue medical corridor.

• Michael Abraham, neurologist, NPI 1689791196, 9200 W Wisconsin Ave, Milwaukee, WI 532263522
• Naveen Addagatla, neurologist, NPI 1366718231, 9200 W Wisconsin Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53226
• Elham Abushanab, neurologist, NPI 1306392634, 9000 W Wisconsin Ave, Milwaukee, WI 532264874
• Samuel Adams, neurologist, NPI 1972947224, 9000 W Wisconsin Ave, Milwaukee, WI 532264874

Confirm the current suite, campus building, and whether the clinician is accepting new adult patients before you travel. NPI addresses can lag behind a move to another floor or clinic within the same street.

Neurologists on North 12th Street

Two NPI-verified neurologists list practice addresses on North 12th Street in Milwaukee. This grouping may be convenient for families near downtown and the near north side.

• Mohammad Abdul Azeem, neurologist, NPI 1295229797, 945 N 12th St, Milwaukee, WI 532331305
• Amir Abdelli, neurologist, NPI 1265782668, 1525 N 12th St, Milwaukee, WI 532052591

Ask the scheduler whether visits are in person at that North 12th Street address, at another Milwaukee site, or by telehealth. Bring the NPI number if the office has more than one clinician with a similar name.

Neurologists on Milwaukee's South Side

Two NPI-verified neurologists list practice addresses on Milwaukee's South Side, on South 16th Street and West Kinnickinnic River Parkway. These locations may reduce travel time for households in southern Milwaukee neighborhoods.

• Christopher Adams, neurologist, NPI 1831137488, 3267 S 16th St, Milwaukee, WI 532154500
• Aasifuddin Ahmed, neurologist, NPI 1417481508, 2801 W Kinnickinnic River Pkwy Ste 550, Milwaukee, WI 532153696

South Side offices can be easier to combine with other errands, but parking, building entry, and companion seating still vary. Ask about accessible drop-off if the person you support has mobility or wayfinding needs.

What to ask when you call a Milwaukee neurologist

When you call a Milwaukee neurology office, ask whether they accept new patients for memory or cognitive evaluation, what insurance or referral they require, and who should attend the first visit. Keep the conversation practical. You are screening fit and logistics, not asking the scheduler for a diagnosis.

Useful questions include:

• Are you accepting new adult patients at the Milwaukee address on the NPI record?
• Does this clinician evaluate memory, thinking, or suspected cognitive change, or do you refer those visits elsewhere?
• Is a referral from a primary care clinician required before the first appointment?
• Which insurance plans do you accept, and do you need prior authorization?
• How long is the wait for a new-patient visit, and is telehealth an option for follow-up?
• What should we bring (medication list, prior imaging, hospital records, a written timeline of changes)?
• May a family member or paid caregiver attend and take notes?
• Is the building accessible, and is there nearby drop-off or parking?
• After the visit, how do you share findings with our primary care clinician?

Write answers down before you hang up. If the office cannot see memory concerns, ask whether they can point you to another neurology or geriatrics clinic in Milwaukee rather than guessing from a website.

How specialist visits fit with help at home

Specialist visits in Milwaukee are one part of support, and many families add in-home help so daily routines stay safer between appointments. A neurologist visit does not replace hands-on help with meals, bathing, medication reminders, or overnight supervision.

If cognitive changes are making days harder, memory care at home focuses on familiar routines in the person's own residence. Personal care can cover bathing, dressing, and other hands-on tasks. Respite care gives family caregivers a planned break. Households that need overnight or round-the-clock coverage can also review 24-hour live-in care.

None of those services diagnose dementia, and using them does not mean a listed neurologist recommended this site. They are practical supports you can arrange while you wait for, or follow, a clinic visit.

National Alzheimer's information and research centers

The CDC describes Alzheimer's disease as the most common type of dementia and publishes background information families can read before a clinic visit. That overview is general education, not a Milwaukee diagnosis. Review the CDC page on Alzheimer's disease and dementia if you want plain-language definitions of symptoms and the difference between Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.

Families interested in research-oriented care can look up NIA-funded Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers through the National Institute on Aging research center directory. That federal directory is national. It does not, by itself, name a Milwaukee clinic on this page, and a research center is not the same thing as the community neurologists listed above.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I verify a Milwaukee neurologist on this list?
Use the clinician's full name, Milwaukee address, and NPI number shown above. Each NPI on this page comes from the records used to build the directory (for example, Michael Abraham is NPI 1689791196). Matching all three details is more reliable than searching a common last name alone.

Does this Milwaukee directory include geriatricians and geriatric psychiatrists?
This page lists NPI-verified neurologists with Milwaukee addresses. The source extract used here does not include geriatricians or geriatric psychiatrists, so none are named. If you need those specialties, ask your primary care office for a local referral and still confirm the clinician's NPI and address.

Are these doctors recommended for dementia or Alzheimer's disease?
No. This is a location-based NPI listing of neurologists, not a ranked roster of memory specialists and not a claim that any doctor treats a specific condition. Ask each office whether they evaluate cognitive concerns. For general background on Alzheimer's disease, use public sources such as the CDC overview linked above.

Which Milwaukee areas have neurologists on this list?
The listed addresses fall into three street areas: West Wisconsin Avenue (four neurologists), North 12th Street (two neurologists), and the South Side on South 16th Street and West Kinnickinnic River Parkway (two neurologists). Always reconfirm the visit location when you schedule.

What should I ask when I call a neurology office in Milwaukee?
Ask if they accept new patients for memory or cognitive evaluation, whether a referral is required, which insurance they take, wait times, what records to bring, and whether a family member may attend. Do not ask the scheduler to interpret symptoms or confirm a diagnosis over the phone.

Can home care help while we wait for a specialist appointment?
Yes. Clinic scheduling and in-home help are separate. Many Milwaukee families use memory care at home, personal care, respite care, or 24-hour live-in care to keep daily life safer while they wait. Those services do not replace a medical evaluation and are not an endorsement by any neurologist named on this page.

Does listing a neurologist mean the clinic endorses this website?
No. Names, addresses, specialties, and NPI numbers are published so families can find real Milwaukee practitioners. Listing is not a partnership, referral relationship, or endorsement by the clinician or any hospital on that street.
