Alzheimer's Disease used to be a death sentence.
Today, with my Memory Loss & Recovery Program we can prevent, slow down, or even reverse Alzheimer's.
If you or a loved one has concerns with cognitive decline or memory loss, the first step is to get tested right away!
The five emotions of memory loss. What my clients typically experience:
Confused
My closest friend told me that I keep repeating myself yet I don’t recall doing that.
Mortified
My doctor said, "There's nothing we can do so you may want to get your affairs in order."
Ashamed
When I talk to friends and family, I can't find the right words.
Hopeless
Even though there’s no medication to restore my memory, I don’t know what to do.
Scared
Will my condition get better or worse?
IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, CONTACT US RIGHT AWAY SO WE CAN DO THOROUGH TESTING.

An estimated 6.2 million Americans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's today.
The number of Americans with Alzheimer's is projected to triple to 13.8 million by 2060.
Alzheimer's disease was officially listed as the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States in 2019.
The devastating COVID epidemic has accelerated the number of Alzheimer's cases. Those affected by long haul COVID-19 symptoms also have cognitive decline.
After implementing the Bredesen Protocol with many patients, we want to acknowledge that yes, it’s not easy. Our patients have expressed anxiety and disappointment after seeing other practitioners who told them there is nothing they can do.
We understand how scary it is to move forward on a healing journey after you’ve heard bad news over and over again. It takes courage to commit to the work that we do. Our patients that choose healing with the Bredesen Protocol are some of the most dedicated people that we have ever worked with.
Together, we will turn every stone over and look into every possibility that could be contributing to cognitive decline. It’s vastly different depending on your personal history and health.
When working with Dr. Silvia Panitch, you’ll notice that appointments can last anywhere from 90-minutes to three hours long. The amount of personalized time you receive sets us apart from other practices offering the Bredesen Protocol.
Cognitive decline, memory loss, and Alzheimer’s are complicated diseases and you deserve the time and attention that it takes to get to the root cause of why this is happening to you.
Intervening prior to Mild Cognitive Impairment is Optimal
While there is no single drug that can treat memory loss, we guide you step-by-step through the Bredesen Protocol, which is the only program in the world that has successfully reversed Alzheimer’s.
6 THINGS THAT MAKE THE BIGGEST IMPACT:
1) Improving Nutrition
2) Addressing Insulin Sensitivity
3) Reducing Inflammation
4) Getting Rid of Environmental Toxins
5) Treating Pathogens
6) Optimizing Sleep
It's necessary to do a personalized protocol led by a qualified practioner based on individual lab results.

The Bredesen Protocol is not covered by insurance because our current healthcare system is not designed to treat the individual patient and doesn’t allow us to spend the time necessary to thoroughly evaluate and treat patients.
Many of the tests will be covered by insurance (Medicare, BCBS); other insurances might not cover them.
The conventional medical system focuses on making a diagnosis, not exploring root causes. At out clinic, we look at the hows and whys of your health issues, therefore, we ask you to do something different when it comes to seeing us.
Patients spend on average about $350,000 to $1 Million dollars before dying of Alzheimer’s Disease, leaving many families and patients destitute.
What Makes Our Program Special
- Most doctors only address symptoms (we search for the root cause)
- They offer no solutions (we can’t wait to share solutions with you)
- They keep you waiting (you see us right away)
- Most doctors spend 16-minutes with patients (we spend 1-2 hours with you)
- Many doctors don’t care to check if you have the APOE4 gene (we do)
- A $50K/year “pill” exists that does NOT work for Alzheimer’s (we use eastern and western protocols)
AS YOU CAN SEE, WE GO THE EXTRA MILE TO HELP OUR PATIENTS BECAUSE WE CARE.
We ask you to invest in yourself which is something most of us are not accustomed to doing upfront. Anyone who has used our current health system for tests, hospitalizations, emergency room visits, and purchasing medications, knows that insurance does not cover everything anyway.
Physician grade supplements are available at our clinic at a discount or can be sent directly to your home or office (their cost is not included in the program because needs are different for every patient).
When you pay-in-full, you will receive a 5% discount. Quarterly payment plans are available.
Cancellation policy: No refunds will be issued after you sign up with our program. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please let us know at least one week in advance. Your first two visits are two hours long and the following visits are one hour, so we want to make sure you get that time with us.
If you cancel an appointment in less than one week, then you will be charged a $200 cancellation fee.
I am going to be transparent and honest with you. This program requires your time, energy, and commitment in order to see real results. I only work with people who are 100% committed to this program. Let’s decide, together.

What Our Clients Have To Say:
FRED
Dr. Panitch had done a very thorough job understanding my health issues and making me feel comfortable. She had done extensive work in helping figure out my issues through various test and supplements. Yes, it can be expensive but I feel like I am investing in my health and preventing more expensive medical bills with all the health issues I’ve had. Since seeing her in July I have made strides in understanding my body better and I feel better!! I still have a lot to understand and much more work to do but I am seeing results which makes a huge difference!

I highly recommend Dr Silvia Panitch for anyone seeking a dedicated and caring clinician who is ready to look outside the box while keeping one foot grounded in allopathic medicine. She allows a long period of time for her complex evaluation, and is fully integrative. She has many excellent testing options to gather information about why we may be having certain symptoms, and has a wonderful ability to pull seemingly unrelated test results together to create a overall integrated clinical view.
I have taken both of my daughters to see her and highly recommend anyone see her with health challenges that have been brushed off by other standard medical providers.. I give her 5 Stars, if I could I would give her 10 Stars!

Dr panitch is an excellent doctor. She is the perfect combination of someone who has an MD and the background of an internist but also has vast knowledge of more natural ways to keep yourself healthy. She’s not one to push prescriptions on you either which I appreciate. I highly recommend her.

“Dr. Panitch is one of the best doctors I have seen in 30 years. She is very diligent and has worked with me to uncover health issues I never knew about or would have never even considered. My health has improved dramatically since seeing Dr. Panitch last year. She has a heavy focus on preventive medicine and spends lots of time with me. I have lost 15 pounds since seeing her.”
Donna
Patient
"I am a fan of Dr. Panitch. Initially I choose her based on her location and holistic approach. I was trying to get pregnant. She discovered that I had serious deficiencies of both thyroid and vitamin D (vitally important, yet something no other physician had investigated) and recommended dietary changes plus natural vitamins/minerals which had me feeling better than I can remember. I have always felt her to be very warm and have a compassionate presence. Have I waited long in her office? On occasion, but I know she spends quality time with each patient and I am someone who benefited immensely from seeing her."
Rich
Patient
“Dr. Panitch is absolutely fantastic. My regular ob/gyn was recommending a radical hysterectomy and also the oncologist I was referred to by the ob/gyn. It is wonderful to find a board certified internist who also uses holistic and eastern medicine. After completing a ten page health issues questionnaire I also had a thorough blood workup and did saliva testing. Using Dr. Panitch’s protocol for a healthier lifestyle in just 90 days I returned to the oncologist and got totally clean of health. Even he was amazed. Her office staff is so friendly and always accommodating. I couldn’t be happier!!”
Mary
Patient
“I have been going to Dr. Panitch for the last 5 years now! She is an amazing doctor. She gets to the root of the problem and is not the kind of doctor that will just give you a pill and be done with you. I went to see her with a skin care problem that I had for 14 months. After going to a dermatologist, who I waited 2 hours to see and who looked at it in 2 seconds and gave me drugs, I decided to try acupuncture with Dr. Panitch. After 2 treatments, I noticed it was going away, after 5 weeks it was completely gone!!! She also looked at my nutrition and we made some changes with that. Let’s face it, the root to most medical issues is that we eat! That is not new news!!! If you are looking for an alternative way to be treated, see Dr. Panitch! She finds the root of your issue.”
Julie
Patient
“My family has been completely satisfied with Dr. Panitch, and I refer clients to her. We have seen her for the past 3 years. I find that she knows how to combine western and “alternative” medicine. My family travels from the suburbs of the city to see her, and everyone is satisfied even though some are only interested in western medicine. She is gentle yet firm enough to influence one to really consider complementing the western medical approach, but not pushy. I was happy to see she encouraged one of my children to see a nutritionist, which really did help. After much resistance elsewhere in the past, I was surprised that my teenager cooperated willingly!”
