Dr. Acosta has superb knowledge extremely beneficial to us who have Alzheimer's and to the Caregiver. She prepares beforehand, having already refreshed her memories about the medicines we take, the many tests we've had, their results and asks clear and focused questions, Not using medical language, but common language that people like us can understand; she listens intentsy, and then makes suggestions. When she lays out the suggestions, she also clearly lays out alternatives and the risks. She is a phenomenal jewel in Vanderbilts crown. We've had many excellent caregivers from Vanderbilt, but she is absolutely one of the best.
