Testimonials
“Writing these books has been sometimes fun and sometimes onerous, but always a learning experience. My greatest inspiration remains my patients who teach me every day.”
Gayatri Devi, MD, MS, FACP, FAAN
“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. While I offer trials to all my patients as a standard of my practice, there are many who fail to qualify or will not cooperate for randomization. Dr. Devi has filled this niche perfectly.”
Samuel Gandy, MD, PhD
Mount Sinai Professor of Alzheimer’s Disease Research, Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry
“Gayatri Devi has developed a profoundly important and new view of Alzheimer’s disease, that it is not an ‘all-or-nothing’ diagnosis but must be calibrated for each individual. Many patients can continue productive, fulfilling lives for an indefinite period of time. 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.”

“Dr Gayatri Devi is a highly knowledgeable, astute clinician, whose personal attention and extraordinary experience combine to make her both a favorite with patients and an esteemed colleague. In addition to her clinical skills, Dr Devi is among those exemplary neurologists eagerly searching out, and offering to patients, innovative diagnostic and therapeutic advances for movement and cognitive disorders too long felt to be non-treatable.”

“Dr. Devi is the leading humane and hopeful dementia neurologist in Manhattan and the distinguished author of The Spectrum of Hope: An Optimistic and New Approach to Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementia. Her reputation is deservedly global. I think she is very kind and understanding.”

“I am lucky to collaborate with Dr. Devi, an exceptional neurologist, who coined the term ‘Menopause Related Cognitive Impairment (MeRCI)’ to describe the cognitive changes seen in women going through menopause. This recognition is critical for correct treatment and avoiding misdiagnosis of a more ominous process.”
