Mount Sinai’s Center of Excellence in Neurosciences

From fine motor control to precious memories, the brain and spinal cord define our interaction with the world around us. Often, illnesses impacting these organs, neurological disorders and diseases are frustrating and frightening. The Center of Excellence in Neurosciences at Mount Sinai Medical Center is dedicated to providing a full range of exceptional and compassionate care to neurology patients, helping them recover their quality of life.

Traditionally, the neurosciences focused on just the brain, spinal cord and connecting tissues. However, Mount Sinai is on the forefront of coordinating the benefits of neuroscience with a wide array of specialties. Radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, psychologists and spine/orthopedic specialists work hand in hand with our neurologists, neurosurgeons and other neuroscience specialists to provide the most progressive medical and surgical treatments to treat a variety of disorders affecting the brain, spine and peripheral nervous system. These range from epilepsy to brain tumors, stroke and hearing disorders.
Severe memory loss is a common symptom of neurological disorders, especially Alzheimer’s disease. If you or a loved one is more than 50-years old, we urge you to participate in our free memory screening. Early detection of the disease along with our comprehensive treatments may reduce the impact of this debilitating affliction. For more information, please visit our Wien Center for Alzheimer’s Disease and Memory Disorders page.

Mount Sinai has earned designation as a Comprehensive Stroke Center assuring patients that it follows national standards and guidelines that can significantly improve the outcomes of the most complex stroke cases. Mount Sinai was only the second hospital in Miami-Dade County and one of just 16 in the state to receive the designation. Awarded by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), the Comprehensive Stroke Center designation means that Mount Sinai has developed system-wide initiatives on stroke prevention, rehabilitation, education, community awareness, and research.

The Center of Excellence in Neurosciences’ multi-disciplinary approach provides innovative and promising solutions for our patients, from minimally invasive procedures on the brain to the latest in radiosurgery with the Trilogy system. Our Neuroscience Department provides a full range of services, from sophisticated diagnostics to advanced rehabilitation resources in virtually every neurological field.
