Dementia Specialists & Neurologists in San Antonio

This page lists real, NPI-verified neurologists with San Antonio practice addresses so families can see who is on record and where they are located. It is a public directory, not a referral service, and it does not mean any named doctor, clinic, or hospital endorses this site.

Phone numbers are not included because they were not part of the source records used here. Confirm the current office number, hours, and whether the clinician is accepting new patients when you call. For more local context on aging and in-home help, start with the San Antonio care guide.

Neurologists, geriatricians, and geriatric psychiatrists in San Antonio

This San Antonio directory currently names NPI-verified neurologists only. Geriatricians and geriatric psychiatrists are not listed here because those specialties were not in the source records for this page.

Neurologists evaluate the brain and nervous system, which is why families often call them when memory or thinking changes appear. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia. The CDC provides an overview of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. A geriatrician focuses on the overall health of older adults. A geriatric psychiatrist focuses on mental health later in life. Ask your primary care clinician which type of visit makes sense, and ask each office whether they see adults for cognitive concerns.

How these San Antonio listings were NPI-verified

Each clinician below is shown with a National Provider Identifier (NPI), a unique number used in U.S. health care billing and provider directories. The name, San Antonio address, and neurology specialty come from those NPI records.

NPI addresses can lag behind a move or a new clinic site, so treat the street address as a starting point and verify it by phone. An NPI listing is not a quality rating, board-certification check, or language-fluency guarantee.

What to ask when calling a San Antonio neurology office

When you call, ask if the office evaluates adults for memory or thinking changes, how long new patients wait, and whether your insurance requires a referral.

Useful questions include:

• Are you accepting new adult patients for cognitive or memory concerns?
• What is the wait for a first visit, and which address should we use?
• Do we need a referral, prior records, or imaging on file?
• Which insurance plans do you accept, and is the NPI we have the billing provider?
• May a family member attend, and can we request an interpreter?
• Should we bring a medication list, a symptom timeline, and photo identification?

This page does not diagnose symptoms or recommend a specific test, medication, or doctor. Office staff can tell you about scheduling and coverage. Clinical questions belong with licensed clinicians who have examined the person.

Home support while you work with a specialist

Home support can help San Antonio families keep daily routines safer and more consistent between neurology appointments. It does not replace a medical evaluation.

Families often combine specialist visits with memory care at home for structured cueing and familiar routines, companion care for supervision and engagement, and personal care for bathing, dressing, and mobility help. Short breaks for family caregivers are available through respite care. After an inpatient stay, hospital discharge care can ease the first days at home. If overnight support becomes necessary, some households look at 24-hour live-in care.

Alzheimer's research listings and Texas STAR+PLUS

Families seeking research-oriented Alzheimer's care can search the National Institute on Aging list of Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers instead of assuming a center is in any given city. The NIA explains how to find an Alzheimer's Disease Research Center.

Texas Medicaid includes STAR+PLUS, a managed long-term services program that some adults with significant care needs explore. This page does not state asset limits, look-back rules, or medical criteria. For a program overview, read about Texas Medicaid STAR+PLUS. A local benefits counselor or the state can confirm whether anyone in your household may apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a neurologist in San Antonio for memory concerns?

Start with the NPI-verified neurologists listed on this page by street and ZIP Code, then call to confirm they evaluate adults for memory or thinking changes. You can also ask a primary care clinician for a referral and check your insurance directory. Pair medical visits with practical help from the San Antonio hub if home support is part of your plan.

Does this directory include geriatricians and geriatric psychiatrists in San Antonio?

No. The source records used for this page list neurologists only, so geriatricians and geriatric psychiatrists are not named here. Ask primary care or a hospital referral line for those specialties if you need them.

How do I verify that a San Antonio doctor is the person listed?

Match the name, address, and NPI number on this page with what the office and your insurer have on file. Each listing above includes an NPI, such as 1033773247 for Muhammad Abdullah. An NPI confirms identity in federal records. It does not, by itself, prove board certification or appointment availability.

What should I ask when I call a San Antonio neurology clinic?

Ask whether they see new adult patients for cognitive concerns, the wait time, the exact address, referral rules, and insurance participation. Bring a current medication list and notes on day-to-day changes if you get an appointment. Do not rely on this page for diagnosis or treatment choices.

Can home care replace visits to a neurologist?

No. Home care can support daily living, but it is not a medical diagnosis or treatment plan. Many families use both a neurologist and in-home help, including memory-focused support, so the person can remain as comfortable as possible between clinic visits.

Where can I learn general facts about Alzheimer's disease?

Public overviews are available from federal sources such as the CDC page on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias cited above. Those materials are educational. They cannot tell you what is causing symptoms in a specific person in San Antonio.

What Texas program might help with long-term services?

STAR+PLUS is a Texas Medicaid managed long-term services program that families sometimes review when care needs are ongoing. Eligibility depends on state rules that this page does not restate. Use the STAR+PLUS overview linked above and confirm details with official Texas sources or a qualified counselor.
