What is a good way to get a person 'tested' for alzheimer's disease?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Neurological exam: The best may be to have the person seen by a neurologist who will evaluate the symptoms and can decide if alzheimer's disease is likely.

History and exam: Alzheimer's disease is usually diagnosed on the basis of good clinical history obtained from the patient (to the extent possible) and from the patient's family, as well as from an examination to rule out other causes of other dementias.
