Ljubenkov is a behavioral neurologist who specializes in caring for patients experiencing memory, language and behavioral changes due to neurological conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia and other causes of dementia.

    I am so pleased to be taken care of by what I consider to be the finest medical teaching hospital in the US, and to have it only 4 hours away. What a blessing!
