My goal is to evaluate patients as accurately as possible and determine the cause of problems with memory or thinking. I may order tests to help achieve this goal. Together, we will begin a treatment plan. Part of the plan may be starting a medication, entering a clinical trial, or participating in a research study. I am dedicated to developing, discovering, and using the latest health-related advances to evaluate, diagnose, and treat dementia. My mission is to provide patients the opportunity to participate in research and partner with us in discovering and understanding what causes changes to memory and thinking. Together, we will contribute to finding the cause and the cure. Dr. Johnson is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Dementia. Her top areas of expertise are Dementia, Alzheimer's Disease, Cerebellar Degeneration, and Lewy Body Dementia (LBD).
