If you feel like you’re becoming more forgetful or have started experiencing memory issues, you may need cognitive testing in Johns Creek.
Undergoing cognitive testing is the first step toward identifying any potential diseases that impair your cognition, such as Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Many people think that they only need cognitive testing as they get older, but anyone can start exhibiting cognitive decline due to a number of different conditions. If you’ve started forgetting appointments, dates, or events, have memory problems, or regularly get lost, you may need a cognitive test. Early detection is key to treating cognitive diseases, so don’t wait. Schedule a visit to Johns Creek Primary Care today.
What We Treat
Cognitive testing can determine if you are experiencing cognitive impairment. This could be caused by a variety of conditions, including:
- Dementia/Alzheimer’s disease
- Vascular diseases
- Medication side effects
- Sleep disorders
- Depression
- Thyroid diseases
Further testing will be needed for diagnosing most of these diseases, but cognitive testing will help determine if you may need additional tests.
How it Works
Cognitive testing is done via a short test that involves memorization, matching, and identifying objects. Your provider will conduct the test and observe for signs of cognitive impairment.
After the test, we will study the results to see if further testing is needed. Depending on the results, we may recommend you for additional testing. Further tests may be used to diagnose you with a specific condition. We will then develop a treatment plan for you going forward.
The Benefits of Cognitive Testing
The First Step Toward Diagnosis
If you do have a condition that causes cognitive impairment, cognitive testing in Johns Creek is the first step toward identifying your specific problem.
Improves Quality of Life
Once your condition has been identified, we can begin working on a plan to treat your condition and work to improve your quality of life going forward.
Risk-Free
Cognitive testing is totally risk-free. There’s no pain, and the test is totally noninvasive with no side effects. If you’re having cognition problems, sign up for a test today.
What to Expect
When you come in for your cognitive testing in Johns Creek, you’ll be treated by one of our experienced, empathetic providers who wants the best for you.
You’ll sit with us as we go through the test together. Your provider will ask you to answer a variety of questions. You may be asked about the current date, year, or other notable facts.
You might also be asked to memorize certain patterns or information and then recreate or repeat it later. Other questions will test your memorization and recollection skills in other ways.
We also offer a 30 minute computer test that evaluates for mild cognitive impairment. It allow us to find and treat memory issues before it progresses to dementia.
Once the test is over, you will be free to go. If you do a Mini Mental Status Exam (MMSE), we will immediately go over the results with you. If you do a computer Cognitive Test, we will look over your results and get back to you the next day to discuss our findings or send your results to your portal.

I had been seeing Dr Herman for a number of years, and was always very pleased with his care. I began seeing Nurse Watson a couple of years ago, and was even more pleased. I hope to move back to Atlanta this summer, and if I can buy a house near enough, I will resume going to Johns Creek Primary Care.

I have been a very pleased patient of Johns Creek Primary Care for the past five years. The care afforded by Dr. Herman and Dr. Conlin has been exemplary, and their staff and front desk personnel have always been courteous and professional. Recently my experience with Dr. Conlin reached a new high.

I have been a very pleased patient of Johns Creek Primary Care for the past five years. The care afforded by Dr. Herman and Dr. Conlin has been exemplary, and their staff and front desk personnel have always been courteous and professional. Recently my experience with Dr. Conlin reached a new high. I called to make an appointment for severe abdominal pain. I was expedited to see Dr. Conlin immediately, and he ordered a CT Scan while I was in the office. Within one hour I had the scan, and the results were called into him from radiology. A treatment regimen was initiated immediately, and in all likelihood he saved my life. To say the least Johns Creek Primary Care is the best there is.

I have used Johns Creek Primary Care since moving to this area two 2-1/2 years ago. They have provided excellent service for my routine physicals – very thorough – as well as timely service for the occasional “sick” visit.

I have used Johns Creek Primary Care since moving to this area two 2-1/2 years ago. They have provided excellent service for my routine physicals – very thorough – as well as timely service for the occasional “sick” visit. The front office staff have been very cooperative in scheduling appointments and handling Medicare / Medigap filings. Best of all, the doctors spend enough time with you to explain their diagnoses / recommendations…even while staying reasonably close to scheduled appointment times.

I cant say enough about Dr. Lee Herman. Due to insurance requirements was hooked up with him when he first started practice. Again due to insurance I had had to reluctantly change again. Darn insurance. Bottom line my son was able to subscribe with Dr. Herman.

I cant say enough about Dr. Lee Herman. Due to insurance requirements was hooked up with him when he first started practice. Again due to insurance I had had to reluctantly change again. Darn insurance. Bottom line my son was able to subscribe with Dr. Herman. My son was seeing an endocrinologist for throat pain and sore throat for about two years while in high school and college. Dr. Herman set him up for testing with Emory University Hospital for further testing as he felt there was a real problem. My son was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and was sent to surgery, I can never thank Dr. Herman enough for his persistence and professional manner which I feel may have saved any further issues. In addition I have become a patient and have through the last five or six years seen every physician and assistants. I feel strongly that I have been given the finest care that anyone could possibly receive. A BIG thank you to this medical group.

Herman and his staff always give me peace of mind when evaluating my health. They take the time to listen to all my woes and diagnose accordingly. The best part is they truly listen. Not just give an empty nod, write a script, shake your hand, and move on to the next patient.

I enjoy my visits to John Creek Primary care; every visit is great. Starting with the receptionists at the desk, to N.P. Pamela Watson, who is understanding, so very kind, and she gives encouraging patient care instructions, and if the instructions are followed by the patient the ending results are effective.

Pamela Watson, who is understanding, so very kind, and she gives encouraging patient care instructions, and if the instructions are followed by the patient the ending results are effective. Mrs. Pamela is a great listener. One other factor that creates a pleasant, enjoyable, calming visit is the office assistant, Sharonika Johnson. Sharonika is always pleasant, smiling, and in good spirits. Sharonika is patient, she allows the patient to explain their situation, she listens well, Sharonika is gentle, and she checks on the patient throughout the visit. She is very professional, during the visits. I was so worried about one of my physical problems and her soft tone and kind words gave me added assurance. THEY both are always neat LOOK so professional. My Spouse wanted to see N.P. Pamela Watson also, after I bragged about my experience, and he did. and upon leaving the office, my spouse, had only compliments about the both of them, N.P. Pamela Watson and Sharonika Johnson, both are an asset to the Johns-Creek Primary care office. I really appreciated Dr. Micheal Conlin also. He was kind, soft spoken, and very caring. Thank you, Johns-Creek P.C., for your outstanding office personnel.
Sincerely, Mr. Lucius &. Dyetta Peoples.

I really appreciate the care I get at Johns Creek Primary Care. Dr. Herman is a caring doctor who really listens to what I say, and I am always amazed at how he keeps up and is current on new medical treatments. He also has a research department with clinical trials run from his offices.

He also has a research department with clinical trials run from his offices. I feel I get the best of care. His staff is always friendly and competent. After a stint at a group practice of health providers, which I left because it seemed I saw a new doctor every visit, I appreciate my health care being directed by one doctor.

I am a very satisfied patron of the practice and highly recommend them. The office is neat and easy to find with ample parking. The waiting area is quiet and professional. The front office staff is always polite and professional and greet you immediately. There appears to be sufficient help instead of many offices where they rely on just one person to balance the patients with phone calls. They responded in a very timely manner to my pharmacy when a question was needed on a refill.
They have a good online portal for all information and I have used the recall of my medical records frequently.
I see Dr. Herman and he has been terrific. He takes the time to learn your background and takes an interest in your issues. I was a new patient in 2014 and was transferring from another Primary doctor in another area. I am a Type 2 Diabetic and needed a referral to my professional. He took the time to review my history and recommended a consult with dietitian in his office. She assisted me with a great plan and I began to lose weight with a regular routine of exercise and better eating habits. It was so nice to be able to come to the same office for this service. I have had a number of other visits requiring referrals and the office has been very thorough. I had an opportunity to be tended to by Dr. Conlin and found him to be equally professional and caring.
I have and will continue to refer customers to this practice. I value the relationship and hope it continues as it has in the past.

I have been a patient of Dr. Hermann for 20 years plus….in fact, I believe I may have been his very first one when he began working with Dr. Jim Stewart. Dr. Hermann and his entire Staff are the very best..and that would include his Dad who works there…

Dr. Hermann and his entire Staff are the very best..and that would include his Dad who works there…(probably unpaid!) Dr. Herman has surrounded himself with other very competent medical personnel. He is big on new technology…and frankly, just a nice guy!! We have referred many of our friends to Dr. Hermann and will continue to so. We continue to wish him and his entire gang the best.

I’m a new patient at Johns Creek Primary Care and I’m very glad I found them. The office staff is pleasant, helpful and patient. They always seem to be smiling. The medical support staff was also very pleasant, patient and caring. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there. The office is clean and neat and the scheduling seems to be on time as I had only a short wait time both in the waiting room and also in the examining room. One small touch I really appreciated was a walker set up at the scale. I have balance issues and having something to hold onto as I stepped on the scale was huge to me. I saw Dr. Conlin who was understanding, helpful and kind. I’m happy I chose them and equally happy to recommend them.

Life can be very difficult and over whelming at times. For the last 20 + years, Dr. Herman and his team have always been there for me when needed. Five star plus rating in my book. A doctor’s true value goes way beyond their knowledge, diagnosis, treatment and pills.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Cognitive Testing
Cognitive tests can’t be used to conclusively diagnose any specific cognitive conditions. We only use cognitive testing in Johns Creek to determine if you do have a cognitive impairment. If we find evidence of impairment, we may recommend you for further testing to diagnose you with a specific condition. We may also treat you with medication to prevent your condition from worsening.
You will be free to leave immediately after your test is finished. Our team will analyze your answers to see if there is evidence of cognitive impairment. We’ll get back to you the next day to present our results. If you do have a cognitive impairment, we’ll discuss your next steps and recommend that you undergo further testing that is tailored to specific cognitive diseases. These tests will be used to help determine why you have a cognitive impairment.
Cognitive testing is a vital first step to identifying a cognitive disease. The results will show us what areas of your brain may be experiencing cognitive decline. We can use this to determine what further testing may be needed.
It’s imperative you undergo cognitive testing as soon as you notice any symptoms. Many cognitive diseases cannot be cured, but they can be slowed or mitigated. The earlier we can obtain a diagnosis, the better we will be able to combat the disease and prevent further decline.
