About Us
About the Medical Clinic
Tampa Bay Neurocognitive Institute (TBNI) is dedicated to evaluating and treating patients with various neurological and psychiatric disorders. We specialize in conditions affecting memory and cognition, such as Alzheimer’s and dementia-related illnesses. Neurocognitive disorders and dementia are increasingly impacting our families and friends. Over the past several years, significant advances have been made in the diagnosis, management, and care of Alzheimer’s and dementia-related illnesses. This includes emerging therapies that can help slow the progression of Alzheimer’s. At TBNI, we bring these advances to the clinical setting, offering our services to the Tampa Bay region. Given the complexity of this population’s needs, we aim to be a comprehensive center providing a multi-specialty care approach, with crucial support services for patients and caregivers.
