About Dr. Stephen Strittmatter, MD, PhD

Dr. Strittmatter directs the Yale Alzheimer's Disease Research Center and has made fundamental discoveries about how amyloid beta disrupts synaptic connections in the Alzheimer's brain — findings that have directly guided the development of new therapeutic approaches. His dual identity as basic scientist and clinical neurologist gives his patients the benefit of a physician who understands the disease at its deepest level. Families often come to him seeking a second opinion on complex or atypical diagnoses and leave with new clarity and direction.

Patient Reviews

Catherine O.★★★★★

We went to Yale for a second opinion after a diagnosis we didn't fully trust. Dr. Strittmatter gave us a complete re-evaluation and a much more nuanced picture that we could actually work with.

William H.★★★★★

His combination of research depth and clinical wisdom is extraordinary. We traveled from Boston to see him and would make that trip again without hesitation.
