About The Position

Sutter West Bay Medical Group is seeking a Cognitive & Behavioral Neurologist to join the multidisciplinary team at the Ray Dolby Brain Health Center in San Francisco. The center is a regional center of excellence for diagnosing, treating, and managing Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, memory disorders, and related cognitive conditions. This role offers the opportunity to practice in a growing, clinically focused program with academic-level resources and a supportive community-based environment.

The physician will work with cognitive neurologists, neuropsychologists, social workers, advanced practice providers, geropsychology support, and administrative staff to support patients and families throughout the continuum of care. The program is expanding its advanced Alzheimer’s therapies and therapeutic approaches.
