Dr. Gayatri Devi specializes in memory and cognitive loss, Alzheimer's disease, and complex neurological conditions. Many patients arrive after seeing other specialists, seeking a diagnosis that explains not only what is happening, but what it means for their lives and futures.
Recent coverage includes commentary on the accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and its distinction from age-related cognitive change.
Dr. Gayatri Devi has spent her professional career focusing on the accurate diagnosis and treatment of disorders of memory and cognition, complex neurological illness, and the prevention of disease in individuals at risk.
Having cared for neurologically ill patients since 1988, and having lost both her mother and sister to neurological illness, she understands the impact these conditions have not only on patients, but on families.
She believes that meticulous history-taking, careful examination, and appropriately rigorous diagnostic testing provide the foundation for accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment.
Some complex patients require continuity of care, caregiver coordination, and direct physician involvement over time, including during travel. Such care is available for a few patients on a case-by-case basis as determined by Dr. Devi.

“I am delighted to have Dr. Devi as a colleague in helping me deliver the best possible care to neurologically ill patients we have in common. She has been an ‘early adopter’ on many new trial drugs and other interventions, including TMS.”
— Samuel Gandy, MD, PhD · Mount Sinai Professor of Alzheimer's Disease Research, Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry“Dr. Devi is brilliantly trained in a variety of disciplines to diagnose and bring relief to patients with neurological disorders. She is the first specialist to whom most of us turn for solving complex diagnostic and therapeutic issues.”
— Marianne J. Legato, MD, PhD (hon) · Emerita Professor of Clinical Medicine, Columbia University; Adjunct Professor of Medicine, Johns Hopkins“I was diagnosed with FTD, a type of dementia, and told to go home and get my affairs in order. I came across Dr. Devi's book, made an appointment, and we began a treatment plan. Five years later I am living life to the fullest.”
— Chris French, patient“At 59, I had exhausted every excuse to explain my embarrassing lapses in memory. Dr. Devi and her team determined my cognitive impairment was due to menopause. After one year of treatment, my memory is back. I am a new person.”
