Joseph Schindler, MD is a Professor of Neurology & Neurosurgery at Yale University School of Medicine. He serves as the Clinical Chief of the Division of Vascular Neurology, Director of the Yale New Haven Comprehensive Stroke Center, and Director of the Yale New Haven Telestroke Service. His clinical work focuses on acute stroke management, vascular neurology, and implementing innovative stroke care delivery systems across healthcare settings.
Dr. Schindler completed his medical degree at Tufts University School of Medicine in 2001 and earned his BA from Tufts University in 1994. He completed his residency at Yale University School of Medicine between 2002-2005.
His research interests center on ischemic stroke, neuroimaging, and stroke care systems with particular emphasis on health disparities, portable MRI technology for stroke evaluation, and optimizing stroke treatment pathways. His work examines how socioeconomic factors impact stroke outcomes and treatment delays, the application of novel imaging technologies at the bedside, and the intersection of stroke with other medical conditions including cardiovascular disease and infectious diseases like COVID-19. He has published extensively on topics ranging from TIA management protocols to neurological complications of viral infections.
Analysis of Dr. Schindler's recent publications reveals a strong focus on translational stroke research with practical clinical applications. His work spans multiple domains including health services research examining care delivery models, technological innovation in neuroimaging, and investigation of health disparities in stroke outcomes. A significant portion of his recent work addresses the impact of social determinants of health on stroke care, reflecting growing recognition of these factors in neurological outcomes.
Dr. Schindler has received recognition as a Connecticut Magazine Top Doc in both 2015 and 2016, highlighting his clinical excellence and contributions to patient care in the region.
He actively collaborates with numerous researchers across Yale and beyond, with frequent co-authorship with colleagues including Lauren Sansing, Charles Wira, Kevin Sheth, Guido Falcone, and Nils Petersen. His research is supported through various clinical trials including studies on anticoagulation therapies, blood pressure management during stroke recovery, and innovative stroke detection technologies.
As Clinical Chief of Vascular Neurology and Director of the Comprehensive Stroke Center, Dr. Schindler leads multidisciplinary teams focused on acute stroke intervention, prevention strategies, and quality improvement initiatives aimed at optimizing stroke care across the continuum from pre-hospital settings through rehabilitation.
