Re: Doctors in Tucson/Phoenix

[Guest guest]

First, go to http://azalz.org , the Arizona Alzheimer's Consortium's website.

There, it lists the major facilities in Arizona involved in neurological

diseases.

In Tucson, look at the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center. If they

have a teaching hospital Neurology Department, it would be the place to go.

However, it may actually be up in the Phoenix area.

In the Phoenix area, try any of the following: Mayo Clinic in sdale, where

Dr. Caselli is the head of the Neurology Dept.; Banner Sun Health in Sun

City, where Dr. Marwan Sabbaugh is into LBD research; Banner Alzheimer's

Institute and Barrow Neurological Institute, both in Phoenix. Any of them should

be able to help you.
