Welcome to UR Medicine Neurology
The Department of Neurology is committed to three equally valued and interrelated missions:
- Delivery of quality patient care
- Generating knowledge from research that will alleviate human suffering through prevention and treatment of disease
- Educating physicians in accordance with highest professional standards
Within our divisions, we have an incredible team of neurologists, scientists, nurses, social workers, neuropsychologists, therapists, trainees, and staff who are singularly focused on making a difference in the lives of people with neurological disorders. Whether it is to partner with patients and families to treat symptoms and ease suffering or to be the beacon of hope and optimism for the future, we aim to treat every patient like our only patient. Whether it is to passionately pursue cures for stroke or Parkinson’s Disease or to advance our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease or brain cancer, we seek the truth to benefit others. Whether it is to train physicians to become neurologists or to train neurologists to become scientists, we aim to create an environment of creativity, discovery and fulfillment.
We have completed a strategic planning process and we are well on our way of making our vision become a reality. I invite you to browse these pages to learn about each of our faculty, our clinical programs, our ongoing research efforts, our diversity and inclusion activities, and our training programs. If you would like to contact our department, please email us. We would be happy to answer your questions.
In 2016, the department celebrated its 50th anniversary. We welcome you to view our 50th anniversary history book.
About the Department
Founded in 1966, the Department of Neurology has consistently ranked among one of the top departments in the country in terms of research dollars from the National Institutes of Health.
Our Divisions
Our divisions and clinical services bring together physicians, fellows, residents, and nurse practitioners to treat patients with common neurological conditions (such as stroke or epilepsy) and those with rare conditions (such as ataxia).
Leaders in Stroke Care
UR Medicine, in partnership with American Medical Response, has launched Upstate and Central New York's FIRST Mobile Stroke Unit - the 13th in the nation. The unit will help us provide specialized, life-saving care to stroke victims before they even get to the hospital.
