What patients are saying

“I was nervous at the outset but the Sunday Health clinical team was very reassuring and put me at ease. Once we got started, it was actually kind of fun! I felt proud of myself and was grateful to get the results.

Now I don’t have to worry so much.”

"The process was both interesting and fun; it included an online brain test and phone and zoom interviews by Sunday Health clinicians who were knowledgeable, informative, friendly, and very very patient."

Brigid H.
Sunday Health Patient

"With a high risk for dementia, I had a lot of trepidation around cognitive testing. But once I understood the holistic approach of Sunday Health, I worked up the courage to take advantage of their offering. I was impressed that each touch point is efficient, respectful and personalized.

The opportunity to discuss my results at length with a very astute and experienced neurologist was very valuable. And the plan they created for me provides a clear roadmap for cognitive health."

I recently attended a cognitive screening session with Sunday Health. Totally impressed with the professionalism of the staff and the information shared by the clinician. The initial screening test was easy to understand and do. They were very helpful in responding to my request for additional information and possible referral for a relative out of their treatment area. I would readily refer family and friends to them if their services were needed.

Sunday Health Patient

My primary care doctor had given me brief tests and told me that everything was OK. But I doubted him. And as I began forgetting names and past events and losing stuff, I became really concerned. After getting tested by Sunday Health, my worries dissipated. Now if I lose something or forget a name or can't summon a word right away, I'm able to smile and tell myself, well, that's the way things go at age 73. What a relief.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sunday Health?

Sunday Health is a medical practice dedicated to preventive, diagnostic, and ongoing cognitive care (memory and thinking abilities)  for older adults. We serve patients across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC.

Our experienced clinicians provide holistic care and support for brain health, empowering individuals to maintain cognitive function and independence as they age.

Who is a good fit for this service?

A Second Opinion consultation is ideal for individuals who:

  • Have received a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer's disease, or another form of mild dementia and want confirmation or clarification
  • Are concerned about the accuracy of their current diagnosis
  • Feel their current treatment plan isn't providing optimal results
  • Want to explore all available treatment options, including newly approved medications or clinical trials
  • Are seeking specialized expertise that may not be available locally
  • Want a new perspective on their cognitive health from experts who specialize exclusively in memory and thinking disorders
  • Have received conflicting opinions from different healthcare providers

Our Second Opinion consultations are particularly valuable for those at early stages of cognitive change, when intervention can be most effective.

Why the name "Sunday Health"?

Our name embodies warmth, preparation, and optimism. Sundays are often spent joyfully with loved ones, and at the same time, they can also bring anxiety about the week ahead.

Similarly, cognitive concerns can showcase the love among family and friends who often act as tireless care partners to individuals living with Mild Cognitive Impairment or dementia, and they can generate anxiety as individuals worry that their memory or thinking skills aren’t what they used to be.

That’s why Sunday Health’s approach integrates clinical expertise, education, and emotional support to empower individuals and families.
