Looking for doctor resources

NLS-SW

We are in the north DFW Plano/Allen/McKinney area and are trying to find a new primary care (after a great one retired) and neurologist to help us with treatments and medications.  The ones we found so far do not have much experience with Alz/Dem or they don't take the secondary insurance we are using.  One red flag was when the doc was being rude and made the comment that "don't worry, she won't remember it" in front of everyone.  Other doctors suggested pain management was not needed because "some times they forget they hurt".  With most doctors limiting the number of medicare patients they see, it is hard to get a foot in the door.

Is there a list some where of Alz/Dem friendly doctors that take medicare in our area can be found?

This would be my first stop. We used them and we are 200 miles away,

Wow, what a callous approach to let her suffer because she will "not remember" her pain.  

Why not give a call to the local Alzheimer's Assn.  ? They often have a listing of physicians who specialize in such patients.  If that number is not  listed, try calling the, 24 Hour Helpline at the Alzheimer's Assn. that can be reached at (800) 272-3900.  If you call, ask to speak to a Care Consultant.  There are no fees for this service. The Consultant can probably give you the contact number for the local Alz Assn office. 

I am so sorry this is happening.  Let us know how things are going and I am sending best wishes for a quick and good result to pop up soon.
