About

Dr. Chiang is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, specializing in behavioral neurology and cognitive disorders. Dr. Chiang evaluates and treats cognitive and neurobehavioral symptoms in neurologic disorders including mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, fronto-temporal dementia, concussion/traumatic brain injury, and other brain diseases. In addition to providing care to patients with cognitive and memory disorders, Dr. Chiang is dedicated to developing innovative treatments.
Dr. Chiang’s research focuses on using high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) to improve cognitive. symptoms, particularly word finding difficulties. His work has shown promising effects using HD-tDCS in treating these cognitive deficits associated with conditions including traumatic brain injury, mild cognitive impairment, and progressive aphasia due to neurodegenerative diseases. It is his hope that these efforts will make HD-tDCS a standard treatment for these conditions in the future.
In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Chiang actively mentors medical students, residents, and fellows, providing both hands-on patient care and guidance in research. He is committed to helping patients regain cognitive function and improve their quality of life.
