Introducing Yukon Neurology:

Excelling in Patient Experience

Founded in 2018 by Dr. David McCoy, Yukon Neurology is an independent medical practice that sets itself apart by creating excellent patient-physician relationships.

Yukon Neurology evaluates and treats a wide variety of neurological conditions, including seizures, epilepsy, stroke, migraine, headache, nerve disorders, neuromuscular disorders, multiple sclerosis, and much more. A large portion of their patient base includes mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia.

The Challenges

  • Lack of data transparency or unclear results from hospitals and other neurology practices.
  • Patient anxiety and resistance to exploring signs of cognitive decline means lower testing completion rates and treatment follow through.
  • Limited tools available for evaluating mild cognitive impairment, identifying the specific areas of decline, and measuring treatment efficacy for patients.

The Solutions

  • Access to a comprehensive battery of assessments for mild cognitive impairment and comorbid factors such as sleep, anxiety, depression, stress, attention deficit, and more.
  • Lead with patient experience by administering gamified cognitive tasks on tablet, creating a comfortable environment, and providing technician support.
  • Seamless integration into administrative workflows and reimbursement processes.

The Results

  • Yukon Neurology is able to see an average of 30 patients daily and complete 10 neuropsychological exams weekly.
  • Time to administer neuropsychological testing went from 6 hours down to 2 hours.
  • 99 percent of patients complete cognitive assessments vs. 94 percent prior to Creyos.
  • Yukon Neurology gained additional patient referrals for ADHD testing, depression, anxiety, and more.
Many people think that even beginning to investigate memory issues means they're definitely going to find a severe problem, so they avoid it. Really, it's not like that. When we test early, we can perhaps reverse issues or at least prevent things from getting worse.
