The Saint Peter's Memory Center

The Memory Center is an outpatient primary care facility managed by Saint Peter's University Hospital. It offers comprehensive testing for those concerned about their memory. The Memory Center is under the direction of Aijaz Hussain, M.D. and Shira Goldberg, M.D.

Over the course of three visits, geriatric specialists conduct a complete physical examination that includes a routine memory screening, and administer a computerized test designed to assess cognitive skills. Test results with recommendations for treatment are discussed with the patient and their family, and a report is sent to the referring physician. Patients return for three- or six-month follow-up appointments, depending on their diagnosis and treatment plan.

The Memory Center uses the MindStreams^® Computerized Impairment Test to assess cognitive performance in the areas of recall, executive function, visual spatial perception, verbal function, attention, information processing speed and motor skills. MindStreams measures a patient’s performance on a series of interactive tasks such as word pair recognition, depth perception, decision making and memorization. Reaction times are measured in milliseconds, and results are compared to those of the patient’s peer group, determined by age and education level.

The Memory Center is located at 300 Overlook Drive, Pondview Plaza, in Monroe Township. For more information on Saint Peter's Memory Center and memory loss, please contact the Comprehensive Care Group at Monroe, a service of Saint Peter's University Hospital, (609) 409-1363.
