It would be hard to help you find a doc if you do not tell where you live.
I suggest that you ask around and find out what the best hospital within 100 or so miles of you is and ask your doc for a referal to go there. The best hospitals have the best docs so any neurologist there will do.
The one test that you want to DEMAND is the MRI WITH contrast. My husband saw docs for memory loss for 9 years. It was not until the MRI w/contrast (dye) was done that they found his brain tumor.

My Dad had memory problems after his first stroke. He was an avid reader, but after his stroke he couldn't even remember what he read two pages later.

you need to follow up with a good neurologist. Lots of things can cause confusion/forgetfullness in older people.
