INTRODUCTION
Specialized Alzheimer’s Care Built Around You and Your Treatment
The Cognitive Care Program is a neurologist-led program for patients with Alzheimer’s disease who have chosen anti-amyloid treatment. It provides priority access to Dr. Peters and his Cognitive Care team, coordinated treatment and safety oversight, objective tracking of cognitive health, and ongoing support for patients and care partners.
Alzheimer’s Treatment Has Changed—The Care Around It Must Change Too
Newer Alzheimer’s treatments like Kisunla and Leqembi can slow disease progression, but they require far more than a prescription. Treatment involves several infusions, MRI safety monitoring, laboratory testing, symptom assessment, and ongoing decisions about whether treatment should continue, pause, or stop.
Patients and families may also need to coordinate care across infusion centers, imaging facilities, laboratories, and the neurology practice. The Cognitive Care Program brings these pieces together within one neurologist-led care structure.
What is the Cognitive Care Program?
The Cognitive Care Program provides enhanced neurologic care, treatment oversight, coordination, and support throughout anti-amyloid treatment.

Is the Cognitive Care Program Right for You?
The Cognitive Care Program is designed for patients who have completed an appropriate Alzheimer’s evaluation, have been identified by Dr. Peters as candidates for anti-amyloid treatment, and have decided to move forward after considering the potential benefits, risks, limitations, and practical requirements of therapy. Patients also identify a care partner who can participate in the treatment process as appropriate.
Still determining whether you have Alzheimer’s disease or whether treatment is appropriate?
Your first step is an evaluation through Dr. Peters’ traditional neurology practice.

Alzheimer’s Care Led by Jon D. Peters, MD
Dr. Jon Peters is a board-certified neurologist who has cared for patients in Northern Virginia for 40 years. He founded Neuroscience Consultants in 1998 and has built his practice around independent, personalized neurologic care. Dementia is among his longstanding clinical interests, and he has been regularly recognized as a “Top Doctor” by Washingtonian and other local publications.
Through the Cognitive Care Program, Dr. Peters personally directs the major clinical decisions throughout treatment, combining decades of neurologic experience with the continuity and close oversight these newer Alzheimer’s therapies require.
What Is Your Next Step?
Your next step depends on where you are in the Alzheimer’s care process.
