Heshan J Fernando, PhD

Since an early age, I’ve had a passion for helping others. One of my biggest motivations in the work I do today is a desire to make a positive difference in people’s lives.

My goal as a neuropsychologist is to serve patients and their families to the best of my ability, providing compassionate care and treatment recommendations. When patients ask what they can do to improve their memory and thinking, I tell them there’s a lot that we can focus on, including medications to help with memory and lifestyle changes to help promote good brain health.

I find great joy in working to empower my patients and their families with knowledge and strategies to manage their symptoms. No matter the diagnosis — mild cognitive impairment, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, Lewy body dementia, atypical parkinsonian syndrome, or something else — it’s fulfilling for me to help someone live their best possible life.
