Allison Schlenger and the entire IMCC team are excellent. I always feel heard and listened to. They are open to your opinions and concerns particularly as it relates to geriatric care. I wish the other specialties at Emory shared the insights ti the challenges associated with caring for the eldery and would be more accommodating to this group. Emory needs to do a better job.

We sincerely hope that none of our relatives or friends experience dementia, however, if they do, the first recommendation we will make is to contact the Emory Brain center early in their journey down this dark road and hopefully be referred to IMMC.
