Gayatri Devi, MD, MS, FACP, FAAN; Park Avenue Neurology

Dr. Devi is my husband's neurologist but her wisdom and advice has helped more than her patient. In February of this year, I tripped on a rug in my apartment and broke the patella in my left knee and my right foot. It takes some kind of talent to do that! The fall was followed by knee surgery; finally I was well enough to start physical therapy and was getting around reasonably well with a rollator. When I mentioned the details of my recovery to Dr. Devi, she said, "Get rid of the rollator and start using hiking sticks." I thought she was crazy but I listened to her. Now, less than four months after surgery, I am walking outside with no support. I never could have been so far along in recovery without following Dr. Devi's advice. If she tells you to use hiking sticks, listen!

I made an appointment with Dr. Devi a year ago when I realized my memory and cognition issues were not normal. My family and I were concerned that I might be suffering from early-onset dementia. At 59, my menopause symptoms had been raging, unchecked for almost a decade. I had exhausted the shallow excuses of brain fog, senior moments, and lack of sleep to explain my embarrassing lapses in memory. Based upon a referral of my primary care physician (who described her as “outstanding”), I scheduled an appointment with Dr Devi. She and her colleagues then performed a thorough neurocognitive assessment and found that I was, in fact, experiencing significant memory and cognitive deficits. They also determined that I do not have dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. My cognitive impairment was, inst

Dr. Gayatri Devi provided consistent helpful advice and warm caring moral support throughout a long 16 year period during which my wife Tina progressed through diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's-like symptoms in March 2007 at age 53 through her hospice care and passing away in summer 2023 just before her 70th birthday. Throughout this time Dr. Devi helped make sure Tina had the right medications and medical care, but also gave very practical advice for structuring her home care, helping her remain in the community with home aides rather than in a nursing home where the risk of over-medication and earlier demise might be present. Even near the end she very helpfully asked what our plans were for the basics such as funeral home and burial, one of the many times she provided consistently pr

Dr. Devi is a treasure! She is both an outstanding physician and diagnostician, but also warm, caring and genuinely concerned about the physical and emotional wellness of her patients. Dr. Devi always has the time to listen, to ask probing questions and never rushes through an appointment. Her care and concern, together with her medical skill, makes one feel that they are in good hands. I consider myself very lucky to have found Dr. Devi. I recommend her highly and without reservation.

Dr. Devi is an outstanding physician! Not only is she a highly intelligent, warm and caring person but an excellent diagnostician. Dr. Devi is treating me for a serious and debilitating back condition. Based on her expert treatment and recommendations, I am well on the road to a complete recovery. Contrary to many other physicians in a field dominated by managed care, Dr. Devi takes the time to listen, never rushes through an appointment and always has a positive attitude toward healing which she conveys to her patients. I am very lucky to have found Dr. Devi. I recommend her highly and without the slightest reservation.
