NYUMC/SoM Department of Neurology
About the Department
We at NYU School of Medicine are fortunate to have excellent facilities
for evaluating and treating children and adults with neurological diseases.
Our large referral base and the capacity of our hospitals ensure our professional
staff and trainees the broadest possible clinical exposure.
The Department of Neurology of the New York University School of
Medicine is dedicated to exceptional patient care, advanced scientific research
and quality graduate education.
Clinical Services
In-patient services are provided within a cluster of four hospitals located
on the East side of midtown Manhattan just south of the United Nations Headquarters.
They are Tisch Hospital, Bellevue Hospital, Department of Veterans Affairs
New York Harbor Health Care System (formerly VA Medical Center), and the
Hospital for Joint Diseases. Specific floors at each of these Hospitals
are devoted to the care of neurological patients staffed by attending physicians,
residents, nurses, therapists, psychologists, social workers and other committed
professionals.
Close cooperation with the Departments of Neurosurgery, Orthopedic
Surgery, the Neuroradiology Division of the Department of Radiology, the
Department of Psychiatry and the Division of Neuropathology of the Department
of Pathology, assure all patients of integrated care in problems of the
central and peripheral nervous systems.
Ambulatory Care
Amubulatory care is provided by attending physicians to outpatients within
office suites at each of the hospitals, in the Faculty Practice Offices
of the Skirball and Schwartz buildings, and in offices located within walking
distance of Tisch Hospital.
Clinical Laboratory Services
Electrodiagnostic services provided include EEG, EMG, motor and sensory
nerve conduction studies and evoked potential determinations.
Advanced techniques for testing of the autonomic nervous system
are also provided. The department also has Transcranial Doppler Laboratory
facilities for assessing the condition and competency of intracranial vessels.
