Dr Nicholas Frost addressed my condition or concern for Mild Cognitive Impairment. After studies with procedures and specialist appointments, it was said that diagnostically that I met criteria for diagnosis for Mild Cognitive Impairment. Etiogically, cognitive decline was seen since my last Neuropsych Evaluation and continued neurologic work up was warranted. Dr Frost's impression and plan showed consolidation was preserved making AD or LATE unlikely but LP would show more insight. Dr Frost presented professional and skilled characteristics to determine my future diagnosis. He expressed excellent knowledge to determine my issues and he was very thorough with testing and counseling. I WILL RESPECT HIS PROFESSIONAL INSIGHT WITH HOW I SHOULD MOVE FORWARD AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO HIS RECOMMENDATIONS.

Dr. Nicholas A Frost, MD is a fine person. He makes us smile by his easy demeanor. He listened when I complained that I thought they dropped the ball on getting us back in line for the next appointment in April, after we saw him.

I would recommend him to anyone needing care.
