The Department of Neurology comprises multidisciplinary teams of clinical experts who provide comprehensive neurological care for a wide range of neurological disorders affecting the brain, spine, nerves, and muscles. The conditions we treat range from neurologic emergencies, such as acute stroke or status epilepticus, to more chronic conditions, such as headaches, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis. We are experts in treating progressive conditions like dementia and movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease

Through our access to pioneering research and the most innovative technologies, including minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques, we are at the forefront of care, right in your community. We provide around-the-clock care, and our access to the most innovative research and treatments through clinical trials means we are at the cutting edge of neurosurgery services in New York.
