Einstein’s neurological experts are highly skilled at diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the brain and nervous system, as well as challenging cases that require specialized neurological care such as brain and spinal cord injuries, recurring seizures, and brain infections. Their active participation in research and clinical trials means patients have access to the newest therapies available to treat their conditions. 

The doctor’s acclaimed career in medicine began after he obtained his medical degree from the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University in 1976. He then went on to complete his residencies in internal medicine and neurology at Temple University Hospital.

Neurologists are licensed medical specialists who diagnose and treat disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles of patients. They examine a patient’s mental and physical status, conduct medical tests and scans, and evaluate the results to diagnose and treat the patient.
