Wellness Brief: Aphasia & Frontotemporal Dementia

Talk With A Docs: Wellness Brief sat down with Dr. Nancy Isenberg, a neurologist and the medical director of the Center for Healthy Aging. Dr. Isenberg also serves as the medical director of Providence's women's brain health program. In our discussion, we delved into the topic of primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, which have been making headlines due to recent diagnoses of two well-known personalities, Bruce Willis and Wendy Williams. We sought out Dr. Isenberg to address the pressing questions we knew you would be curious about.
