Unlike traditional practices that limit the time doctors can spend with patients, Kemper Cognitive Wellness offers a personalized and comprehensive approach to care- with our team spending as much as five times more time with each patient compared to standard practices. Our team pulls together information from multiple sources and specialists, giving Dr. Bergman insight across your health network. These insights allow for actionable planning and meaningful results.

We accept payment by credit card or check at the time of service and payment plans are available. You may also use pre-tax dollars from a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for your consultations and services. Because we work outside the insurance reimbursement system, we are able to partner with you in designing an effective plan that supports your health and wellness goals. Additionally, Dr. Bergman is able to spend much more time with you than a traditional doctor visit. Read more here: https://kemperwellness.com/do-we-take-insurance/

Our approach

How does Personalized Medicine help brain health and memory?

Research findings now show that memory loss is not necessarily a genetic disease. While genetics may play a role, lifestyle, environment, toxins, infections and other elements may have a profound impact on brain health. Our services will help uncover the root causes of your condition and support you every step of the way towards a better quality of life.
