The Vineyard Haven Library is pleased to welcome back Dr. Nicole Absar on Tuesday, May 13th at 6:00 PM for a presentation on the various diseases that can present with memory and cognitive dysfunction. This event will be held at the Katharine Cornell Theatre located at 51 Spring Street in Vineyard Haven (above the Tisbury Town Hall). Free and open to the public. No registration required.
Cognitive deficits are often misdiagnosed as Alzheimer’s disease without first trying to diagnose other types of dementia. A precise diagnosis is important, as a specific treatment can be tailored to the condition if the diagnosis is made early in the course of the disease. Dr. Absar’s presentation will address all the possible diseases that present with memory and cognitive dysfunction.
Nicole Absar, MD, provides neurocognitive and Alzheimer’s disease services to the Vineyard community and neighboring regions, including Nantucket and Cape Cod. These include diagnostic evaluation and management services for neurocognitive disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease dementia, Lewy body dementia, related dementia, frontotemporal dementia, vascular dementia, and other neurocognitive disorders.
With more than 20 years of experience, Dr. Absar is board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology (ABPN), is a member of the American Medical Association (AMA), and is an active member of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and a Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association (FAPA). She is also a registered yoga teacher and specializes in yoga as therapy for brain disorders and uses yoga therapy as part of an integrated neuropsychiatric treatment plan.
