There is no single best doctor for memory loss, and any practice claiming to be one is selling rather than informing. What you can verify is board certification, whether the assessment looks for reversible causes, whether a family member is included in the history, and what happens after the diagnosis.

Memory loss has many causes, and the right clinician depends on which one you have. Someone whose memory difficulty stems from sleep apnoea, a thyroid problem or a medication interaction needs something quite different from someone with early Alzheimer's disease. Searching for the best doctor in the abstract tends to delay the assessment that would actually sort this out.
A history taken with someone who knows you well, because the person living with the change has usually adapted around it and may not report it accurately. A structured cognitive assessment. A neurological examination. And a deliberate search for reversible contributors: thyroid function, vitamin B12, sleep disorders, depression, alcohol, and the full medication list including anything bought over the counter.
Whether the neurologists are board-certified, whether a family member is included in the appointment, whether reversible causes are screened for as standard, and what the follow-up plan looks like. A diagnosis without a plan for the next year is of limited use to anybody.
