The Shankle Clinic was founded in 1997 by Dr. William R. Shankle, a neurological specialist in Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders (ADRD), to help people prevent and delay its onset and progression through risk reduction, early detection, accurate diagnosis, plus effective treatment and disease management.

Dr. Shankle combines more than 20 years of clinical and research experience together with the most current clinical knowledge and technologies to deliver individualized ADRD prevention and treatment.

The great fear engendered by Alzheimer's disease (AD) paralyzes people from acting and benefiting from recent advances in its prevention and treatment. The onset of AD symptoms can be delayed for years through risk factor identification and treatment.

Early detection, correct diagnosis and proper treatment further delays AD progression for years and keeps people out of nursing homes while preserving their life's pursuits.
