Dr. Schneider is a neuropathologist and clinical neurologist at the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center whose work has revealed how multiple overlapping brain pathologies contribute to dementia in older adults. Her research has fundamentally changed how clinicians think about mixed dementia. In the clinic, she translates that nuanced understanding into diagnoses that patients and families trust, particularly for complex presentations that have stumped other physicians.
“After three neurologists told us my father had 'just' Alzheimer's, Dr. Schneider identified a mixed picture that explained symptoms everyone else had dismissed.”
“She is brilliant and extraordinarily kind. Her explanations are always clear and she never makes you feel like you've asked a stupid question.”
