Elizabeth Landsverk MD

Dr Liz is a dementia doctor seasoned in the field of geriatric medicine. She is a leading geriatrician in the area of dementia and related issues. Through her house-call practice, she developed techniques to address the challenging medical and behavioral issues often faced by older adults. Her work with Alzheimer’s as well as vascular dementia, Lewy Body, Frontal, Alcoholic, and Brain Injury dementia, has helped thousands of people suffering from dementia lead engaged, comfortable lives at home or in supportive communities.

She authored Living in the Moment: Overcoming Challenges and Finding Moments of Joy in Alzheimer’s and Other Dementias for a step-by-step guide to the messy parts of dementia from strange behavior before a diagnosis, the effect meds can have, making elders look worse and how to get better, crucial resources, addressing financial abuse, what hospice should provide and care for the caregiver.

She graduated from Stanford University, and trained at Cambridge Hospital, Harvard University and Mt. Sinai Medical School. Having been board-certified in Internal Medicine, Geriatric Medicine, and Palliative Care Medicine, Dr Liz was an Assistant Professor of Medicine at University of California, San Francisco, as well as consultant to the San Francisco Elder Abuse Forensics Center.

Dementia Doctor Based in San Francisco, California

While continuously working as a dementia doctor throughout her medical career in the field of geriatrics, Dr Liz has pivoted from a house calls practice to TeleHealth for Seniors. Her father is over 90 and living in Florida, so she spends more time traveling these days but is available to elders and their families/care team to address the unexpected in the comfort of their home (even when that is a facility). 

Her expertise built over 20 years of practice can help relieve aggression, pain, help avoid the emergency room for many situations as well as provide an urgent appointment to start care for a problem before it becomes an emergency. Although she primarily provides dementia consultations and counseling online, she is also available for in-person appointments in the San Francisco, California, area.

Working with nurses and caregivers as the eyes and ears to alert Dr Liz of concerning symptoms, she is available to address the elders’ needs when they happen instead of waiting for an appointment three weeks from now.

Dr Liz works with a vetted team of experts to provide top-notch care. Together, they have decades of experience and deep knowledge of eldercare.
