For those interested in the possibility of participating in clinical research, including studies for healthy elders and those with memory or other cognitive impairments, we conduct a comprehensive diagnostic work-up. This assessment includes an evaluation by a geriatric psychiatrist specializing in memory concerns, cognitive testing with a psychometrician, and a research blood draw. There is no charge. Our services include annual follow-up visits, communication with your primary care physician or other healthcare provider upon request, and eligibility for consideration for our research studies and clinical trials. We also invite participants to attend annual participant appreciation days and receive the ADRC newsletter. To learn more about research evaluations, call 212-241-8329.

Geared to those interested in a clinical evaluation of memory or other cognitive concerns, the Neuropsychological Testing and Evaluation Center offers assessment by senior faculty and doctoral-level trainees. The comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation includes taking a detailed history and two to three hours of paper-and-pencil tests administered in the office. We produce a comprehensive report for the referring provider and family, offering specific recommendations for further treatment or evaluation. We also provide referrals to other Mount Sinai or community providers made as necessary (e.g., neurologist, psychiatrist, social work, support groups) and to the ADRC, upon request. Our program is fee-for-service and accepts Medicare, Part B. We can work with other insurance plans with out-of-network benefits. To learn more about this center, call 212-241-9553 or 212-241-6088.
