Jinseo Choi is a board-certified Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner who completed her education at UCLA. She specializes in the prevention and treatment of dementia, particularly Alzheimer’s disease. With her combined expertise in Internal Medicine (IM) and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R), she has built a strong foundation for her work in dementia care. Her practice focuses on optimizing brain health and preventing cognitive decline, reflecting her deep commitment to advancing the field of neurology.

Her neurology practice specializes in patients with APOE ε4 gene which may increase their risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Her goal is to reduce this risk through personalized strategies. Specifically, she assesses key risk factors associated with Alzheimer’s and creates individualized preventive care plans. Her approach integrates lifestyle modifications with management of cardiovascular risk factors, such as hyperlipidemia and high blood pressure, all tailored to each patient’s specific APOE genotype. This comprehensive, personalized care aims to enhance brain health and mitigate factors that could influence the progression of cognitive decline. 

Jinseo’s care philosophy is deeply rooted in a holistic, patient-centered approach. To deliver effective and personalized care, she views each patient as a unique individual. Jinseo places great importance on building strong connections with her patients, founded on trust, communication, and mutual respect. This approach supports their cognitive longevity and overall health. The most rewarding aspect of her work is witnessing patients make meaningful lifestyle changes that enhance their brain function. This reflects her dedication to advancing brain health and supporting her patients’ journeys toward improved cognitive well-being.
