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 Gomperts was outstanding, very Thorough and considerate.
Dr. Gomperts was excellent. He answered all my questions before I asked them. He asked all the right questions and he gave me a good plan.
Dr. Gomperts and his experience are priceless. It was a very interesting conversation.
Dr Gomperts listened to and cared about what we had to say. He helped us to put a plan in action. He alleviated our concerns and helped us to put faith in the fact that something is actually going to be done! Thank you!!
He is genuinely interested in my health. He wasn't happy with what seemed to him like a deterioration of my progress.

He had my medical records on hand and had ... Read More
Yes, Dr. Gomperts is a very skilled clinician, listens well. I have no problems with his care.
Dr. Gomperts is wonderful. He's very knowledgeable. He's very patient. I wish we had more of his time and we were able to get into MGH more often. Not that we got in this time. Any key to get out?
Too long for a visit. Too hard to get to for me.
Dr. Gomperts asked me a series of questions and I think if he knew more about my background, he might not have asked them. [redacted]
