AVENTURA, Fla. - PennZone -- Dr. Jeff Gelblum, Neurologist at First Choice Neurology, has brought together clinical, imaging, and laboratory capabilities to provide rapid diagnosis and treatment to individuals suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

The patient journey of Alzheimer's evaluation and management involves a clinical assessment to determine the level of cognitive impairment, and imaging studies of the brain, MRI, and PET scans to identify the presence of brain amyloid plaques. Also included are laboratory capabilities to inform the tolerability of the new anti-Alzheimer medication, and an experienced infusion team capable of providing the new class of FDA-approved medication in a comfortable setting.

Dr. Gelblum's highly integrated program will eliminate the long delays and fragmented care that typically plague patients seeking Alzheimer's treatment.

He observes, "that the new class of disease-modifying treatments are only approved in mild Alzheimer's which offers only a short window of opportunity to treat. In the US and abroad, it can often take up to a year to get a neurology appointment, and by that point, the patient may have progressed to a point where they might no longer respond to treatment."

Dr. Gelblum's program eliminates the delay and provides a quick and comprehensive work-up in the Aventura medical district, just north of Miami, Florida.

Dr. Gelblum boasts that "within 48 hours we can diagnose and begin infusion therapy.  This means that the patient can check in to our on-campus hotel on a Tuesday evening, undergo evaluation in our clinic Wednesday morning, receive diagnostic testing Wednesday and Thursday, and then obtain their infusion treatment on Friday."

For those patients who reside out of town, his infusion center can dispense medication to-go for follow-up infusion treatments in their hometown medical facility. This is ideal for out-of-town patients who may not have easy access to a neurologist. He can then follow the patient remotely via telehealth.

His Aventura clinic is easily accessible via Miami or Fort Lauderdale international airports.

Dr. Gelblum has a global patient population who has discovered the ease of access and convenience of care provided by this program. He has patients from the UK, Spain, France, Israel, Russia, South Korea, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. They are diagnosed in his Aventura clinic and then followed up remotely via Skype, WhatsApp, FaceTime, or any manner of live audiovisual interface.
