Is my ‘senior moment’ the start of dementia?
Forgetting phone numbers is frustrating, but is it the start of something serious?

About Daniel Hoefer, MD
I am well versed in caring for patients in today's managed care environment. The practice of medicine today is not the same as it was 20 years ago. It is no longer enough to be a good doctor. My philosophy on practicing medicine is that it's about what the patient wants and needs, and knowing how to get it. In my spare time, I enjoy travel and good food.

Information from specialist appeared contradictory. Dr. Hoefer followed up right away for clarification. Marifi called me back later that day with the specialist's response. Very much appreciated!
