Patient Care

Diagnostic Evaluations

Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and treatment of memory loss and psychiatric conditions are available through two services:

The Memory and Aging Center (MAC)

• The MAC provides comprehensive, streamlined evaluation, treatment, and management for those who have memory complaints.
• Experts: Our team includes experts in geriatrics, geriatric psychiatry and neuropsychology, neurology, and radiology.
• Quick: The evaluation can be completed in one visit, including evaluation by a geriatric memory specialist, neuropsychological testing, and neuroimaging.
• Consistent: Patients see the same clinicians each time, and may choose to be followed on a yearly basis or have their report sent to their primary physician.
• Research: This service also provides interested patients with a gateway to clinical research opportunities, including clinical trials of new medications and genetics studies.
• For more information, please call our coordinator at (212) 241-1844.

The Geriatric Psychiatry Clinic

The Geriatric Psychiatry Clinic provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of the full spectrum of psychiatric conditions, as well memory disorders. Patients and their families are seen by a team of expert trainees (including residents and postdoctoral fellows) who are under supervision of Mount Sinai’s full-time faculty of specialists. An evaluation, including family feedback, may take three or four sessions, and patients are typically evaluated by a geriatric psychiatrist, neurologist, nurse practitioner, and social worker. Patients and their families may elect to receive ongoing care with the clinic, or have their evaluation report sent to their primary physician. If interested, patients followed in this service also have access to clinical research opportunities. The clinic accepts traditional Medicare, Medicaid, and 1199 insurance. The clinic is not able to accept HMO Medicare, such as Oxford Medicare Advantage.

If you would like to arrange for an appointment, please contact our coordinator Julia Diaz at (212) 241-9382.
