Why Did NYU Langone Health Refer Me to Isaac Health?
You may be hearing from Isaac Health because your NYU Langone Health care team identified that you could benefit from additional support for your cognitive health.
Isaac Health is a brain health clinic that partners with healthcare organizations like NYU Langone Health to expand access to virtual cognitive care, including evaluations, personalized care plans, and ongoing support for memory concerns, cognitive changes, and conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
Isaac Health is a separate clinic from NYU Langone Health. Your care team referred you to us because we specialize in evaluating and treating memory and cognitive concerns like yours.

Your Care, Explained
-
Isaac Health was brought in specifically to expand access to specialized cognitive care faster, without asking patients to choose between speed and expertise. Our clinicians work directly with NYU Langone Health‘s team, so you’re not leaving NYU’s care model, you’re getting an additional layer of it, sooner.
-
Your initial evaluation will be with a specialized cognitive care Nurse Practitioner trained in brain health and memory management under our shared clinical framework with NYU Langone Health. We want you to feel completely comfortable and supported, so depending on your care plan, preferences, and clinical needs, you may also meet other specialists on our team or request a provider change based on availability.
-
In some cases, your Isaac Health team may identify that further evaluation or treatment at NYU Langone Health (such as infusion therapy) is the right next step. If that happens, your care team will walk you through what to expect, coordinate directly with NYU, and keep you updated, review timelines can vary, so we’ll always give you the most current expectation for your case rather than a fixed number of days.

Disease-modifying therapies (often referred to as anti-amyloid or amyloid-targeting therapies) are a category of treatments designed to slow the progression of early Alzheimer’s disease by removing beta-amyloid plaque from the brain. These treatments are approved for individuals with early symptomatic Alzheimer’s, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease who have confirmation of elevated beta-amyloid.
Not all anti-amyloid therapies are administered in the same way:
- Lecanemab (Leqembi®): Delivered by intravenous (IV) infusion or through subcutaneous (under the skin) injection options, such as the Leqembi Iqlik autoinjector.
- Donanemab (Kisunla®): Delivered as an intravenous (IV) infusion every four weeks.
Your care team will help you understand whether these options are appropriate for your specific stage of care, walk you through the differences in delivery methods and eligibility, and guide you and your care partner through every step.
-
No. While some anti-amyloid therapies like donanemab (Kisunla®) are administered through regular IV infusions, others like lecanemab (Leqembi®) offer additional administration methods, including subcutaneous (under the skin) injection options like the Leqembi Iqlik autoinjector. Your care team will explain the specific administration requirements, eligibility criteria, and benefits of each option.
*Isaac Health is an independent cognitive care clinic partnering with NYU Langone Health to expand virtual care access. Referral or evaluation does not guarantee eligibility for specific treatments or anti-amyloid therapies. Insurance coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary by provider and individual benefit plan.*
