Live Long. Be Strong. Stay Sharp.

Rochester's Only Neurologist-Led Alzheimer's & Dementia Prevention Practice

  • Conventional care waits for problems. We don't.

    Nearly half of Alzheimer's and dementia cases are preventable — yet most people receive no guidance until symptoms are already present. At Healthspan Neurology, we specialize in neurologist-led Alzheimer's and dementia prevention and proactive brain health, starting long before problems arise.

    Start protecting your brain health today.

Personalized Preventive Neurology in Rochester, NY

Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias don’t begin when symptoms appear. The brain changes that lead to Alzheimer's start 20 to 30 years earlier — during midlife, when there is still time to act.

Traditional neurology waits for problems. We don't.

At Healthspan Neurology, we use advanced diagnostics and evidence-informed strategies to build a personalized plan — whether you're focused on Alzheimer's prevention or looking for answers after symptoms have begun.

    Mind Over Menopause™

    Hot flashes, brain fog, mood changes, and poor sleep are neurologic symptoms — not just inconveniences. We treat them that way, while building a foundation for long-term brain health.

    Neurologic Consultation

    Whether you're seeking a diagnosis, a second opinion, or a more thoughtful approach to care, we offer comprehensive neurologic evaluation with the time and attention your situation deserves.

Why Choose Healthspan Neurology

  • New patients are typically seen within two weeks. You shouldn't have to wait months for answers.

  • Every evaluation is conducted by Dr. Gajaweera — not a nurse practitioner or physician assistant. You receive expert neurologic assessment from a physician with over 25 years of clinical experience.

  • Initial visits run 90 to 120 minutes. Follow-ups are 60 to 90 minutes, depending on what you need. We don't watch the clock — we stay until the work is done.

  • Our services are direct-pay, with transparent pricing. Many patients use HSA or FSA funds, and we provide documentation to support out-of-network reimbursement from your insurer.

  • Most testing such as labs and imaging are covered by your insurance just as they would be with any insurance participating provider.

  • For patients who have difficulty traveling, we offer home visits in the Rochester area — bringing expert neurologic care to you.

  • We offer telemedicine appointments for established patients and for those located outside Rochester, including throughout New York State.

Healthspan Neurology patients share their experience with our Dementia Preventive Program and neurological care.

  • "I am partway through Dr. Gajaweera's dementia prevention program and enthusiastically recommend her to anyone concerned about warding off dementia. What makes the program so valuable is that dementia isn't just a neurological issue — it's tied to everything going on in your body. The result is a detailed, highly personalized action plan. I can't imagine finding another doctor who is simultaneously so knowledgeable, so attentive, and so communicative."

    Patient, Dementia Preventive Program

  • "Dr. Gajaweera has changed my life. I have two siblings with Alzheimer's and my stress level was through the roof. Dr. G has taught me that knowledge is power. She has guided me through testing and recommended targeted adjustments to my daily routine. I now have a plan for how to proactively approach this chapter of my life. Dr. G is a great communicator with a gentle, kind soul."

    Patient, Dementia Preventive Program

  • "From what I read about Alzheimer's, I realized that with a family history it's important to be evaluated early and followed by a neurologist — when prevention is still possible. Dr. Gajaweera is very careful to explain the need for the service she provides. She is highly professional, caring, and knowledgeable. I would encourage anyone with a family history to schedule the free consultation with her."

    Patient, Dementia Preventive Program

  • "Dr. Gajaweera was the first doctor to get the answers I had been looking for after others had missed it — I can't overstate how life-changing that was. She responds quickly, listens thoughtfully, and always makes me feel supported. Her team-based approach and trusted referrals have given me peace of mind and better results than I ever expected. If you want a neurologist who goes far beyond the traditional system, Dr. G is the one."

    — Neurologic Consultation Patient

  • "Dr. Gajaweera's kind and empathetic approach to my care has greatly reduced my stress and anxiety and given me the confidence to tackle the challenges I currently face. She takes whatever time is necessary to fully understand your health issues and goals — which rarely occurs anymore in our current healthcare system. Do yourself a favor and book your appointment with Dr. Gajaweera right away."

    — Neurologic Consultation Patient

  • "I have been trying to see a neurologist for at least a year. I finally found Dr. Gajaweera — and I feel like the right person was waiting to help me. She is thorough, patient, and compassionate, but what impressed me most was her love for what she does. I'm early in my care with Dr. G, but I can already tell she is going to help me a lot."
