Do doctors see a lot of patients with dementia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quite a few: As the population ages doctors are seeing more and more patients with varying degrees of dementia. In some cases the dementia is due to a treatable medical condition. In others the progression of the dementia can be slowed with treatment.
