I can’t imagine going through the journey of AD or Dementia without a neurologist who specializes in this area. We also have a clinical geriatric psychologist because son has unusual neurological concerns due to his seizure disorder and migraines. He also was born with congenital brain damage. There are behaviors and symptoms outside of typical AD and mixed dementia. In general I would completely recommend a neurologist who specializes in this, not a general neurologist or family doctor. It’s really important the doctor be familiar with all the research and new pharmacology information coming all. And if your LO also takes medications for other conditions, a neurologist is more knowledgeable about drug interactions. Keep in mind over time, there will be changes that require different treatments and modifying what you do.
