A simple, continuous path through cognitive care.

What to expect

From a free at-home screening to ongoing care guided by a board-certified neurologist, here’s exactly what your Mindspan journey looks like.

The Mindspan difference, in one comparison

Cognitive care, without the wait.

Most families spend the most precious months in limbo. We rebuilt the path so that the time between worry and a real answer is measured in weeks, not years.

The typical wait

Eighteen months before anyone can tell you what’s going on.

In most of the country, a worried family books a primary-care visit, gets referred to a neurologist, and then waits. The average wait for a specialist cognitive assessment is twelve to eighteen months, the most precious window of all.

  • Months of uncertainty between first worry and first answer
  • Multiple referrals before anyone with the right training is in the room
  • Care decisions made on incomplete information, often too late to change the trajectory
  • Families left to coordinate between specialists alone

Your journey, in four phases

What happens, in the order it happens.

Most of cognitive care feels opaque. Mindspan was designed so that you always know where you are in the journey, what comes next, and who is with you for each step.

01

Start at home

Take a confidential screening, at your own pace.

Your journey begins with a free, at-home screening you can complete on a laptop or tablet. No clinic visit, no account, no waiting room. About thirty unhurried minutes is all it takes to get a clear picture of where you are.

02

Get answers

Receive a personalized, easy-to-understand report.

Right after the screening, you receive a clear summary of your cognitive wellness, written in plain language. You’ll know what stood out, what didn’t, and whether a closer look from a neurologist would be useful.

03

See a specialist

Meet a board-certified neurologist within weeks.

If your report suggests further evaluation, we connect you with a board-certified neurologist within weeks, not 18 months. Visits happen in our clinics or on video, and your insurance is billed like any other specialist appointment.

Stay supported

Settle into the Mindspan Protocol, with a team beside you.

From there, your neurologist builds a plan that pairs the latest therapies with personalized lifestyle adjustments and progress tracking. Our care team checks in between visits so you and your family always know what’s next.

Conditions we see

You don’t need a diagnosis to come to us.

We see patients at every stage, from a first worry to a recent diagnosis. If something feels different, that’s reason enough to reach out.

Memory changes

Forgetfulness and memory loss

Names that slip away, conversations you can’t quite recall, a word that used to come easily. These changes can be normal aging, or something worth evaluating. We help you know the difference.

Mild Cognitive Impairment

MCI, the stage before a diagnosis

MCI means memory or thinking skills have declined more than expected for your age, but not enough to interfere significantly with daily life. Early attention here makes the biggest difference.

Alzheimer’s disease

The most common cause of dementia

Mindspan neurologists are experienced in Alzheimer’s evaluation, staging, and treatment, including the newest FDA-approved therapies for eligible patients.

Other dementias

Vascular, Lewy body, frontotemporal, and more

Dementia takes many forms. An accurate diagnosis shapes everything about the care plan. Our neurologists are trained to distinguish between types and tailor your care accordingly.

Proactive brain health

Understanding your brain before symptoms appear

Family history, early risk factors, or simply wanting to stay ahead, Mindspan offers comprehensive cognitive assessments for people who want to understand and protect their brain health proactively.

For caregivers

If you’re caring for someone else

Caregivers are not bystanders, they’re part of the care team. We work with families to understand what’s happening, what to expect, and how to get the right support in place.

What makes Mindspan different

Four quiet advantages built into every visit.

You won’t have to learn how any of this works. We use them so your experience with us feels unhurried, personal, and safe, and so the science stays current with the people doing the research.

Your Cognitive Digital Twin

A living model of your brain health.

We bring your history, labs, imaging, biomarkers, and cognitive tests together into a personalized model of your cognitive trajectory. Your neurologist uses it to make proactive decisions with evidence, not guesses.

Immediate answers

No months of uncertainty.

Skip the agonizing waitlist. The screening starts today, the report arrives the same day, and our care team helps you decide what comes next, even if that’s simply peace of mind.

A plan that empowers

More than a diagnosis, a way forward.

We deliver a comprehensive plan, not just a label. Tangible steps across nine lifestyle factors, advanced therapies when indicated, and check-ins that keep the plan honest as your life changes.

Built for families

Everyone has a seat at the table.

Mindspan was designed as a collaborative platform from the start. Share insights with siblings, coordinate with our care team, and navigate your loved one’s cognitive health together, in person or from anywhere.

Step 03

Begin coordinated care

Your neurologist puts a plan in place, advanced diagnostics where useful, therapies when indicated, and lifestyle targets tailored to you. Your primary care doctor is kept in the loop.

04

Step 04

Keep the plan honest

Mindspan stays with you between visits. We track what’s working, adjust what isn’t, and answer the questions families usually have to figure out alone.

Common questions

What families ask us most.

Most new patients see a Mindspan neurologist within two to three weeks. Typical wait times at a hospital neurology clinic are twelve months or longer.

When you are ready

See a specialist in weeks, not months or years.

Early answers mean better outcomes, and more time with the people who matter most.
