Dr. Gomperts's clinical and basic research focuses on Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and Alzheimer's disease. In human studies, he explores the disease processes responsible for Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and the related diseases progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal syndrome with brain PET imaging, visualizing pathogenic processes, such as the accumulation of beta-amyloid and tau and the loss of dopamine neurons projecting to brain regions that subserve cognition. In animal models, he uses pharmacology, multi-electrode recordings of brain cell activity, and optogenetic tools to investigate normal brain function and develop strategies to restore brain function in Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and Alzheimer's disease.
Dr. Gompers is caring and collegial.
Time flew during our appointment, just when we were asking questions at the end the door was opened and I felt I was being rushed out the door. It is not a good feeling when you wait 6 months for an appointment
This care provider is always very respectful, courteous, knowledgeable, and kind.
Extremely thorough, competent and obvious he read my medical history, reviewed my MRI, and asked for a copy of a report he wasn't able to access which I emailed him when I got home. I would highly recommend him and was worth waiting 5-6 months to be seen by him.
so very knowledgeable and helpful....patient and caring....
