Our nervous system is a highly sophisticated and complex network that rarely goes wrong, but when it does, it leads to all sorts of neurological disorders. Since the nervous system controls the entire body’s actions from walking to finger dexterity, its malfunction results in both painful and stressful conditions. Fortunately, the field of neurology has advanced exponentially in the last decade, and physicians are able to provide painless treatments to patients. Unsurprisingly, New York is home to some of the best neurologists in the country.
Dr. David Steven Younger
Dr. David Younger is an amazing and renowned doctor in the world. Despite his priority being getting his patients up and healthy quickly, he never misses striking a conversation with them and making them feel cared for, which is why he is loved by his patients. In addition to being an excellent neurologist, he is also a psychiatrist. Plus, he strongly believes in patient education, and for this reason, he has been part of many educational events, and he has also authored three medical books. Dr. Younger has also written over 200 publications reviewed by his peers.
Specialization
Dr. David Younger specializes in neuromuscular diseases and neuro-epidemiology. In the last 30 years of his practice, he has invested countless hours in research work to identify the triggers of the autoimmune disease. Moreover, he sees patients from all age groups: from children to the elderly. Being a psychiatrist, he also sees the psychological effects of neurological disorders on patients and their loved ones, which enables him to provide appropriate treatment from a compassionate perspective.

Dr. Elena Frid
Dr. Elena Frid is an outstanding doctor, and despite her relatively short experience in the medical field, she has proven her skills. Dr. Elena works with patients of all age groups, and she ensures that they are feeling comfortable throughout the treatment. Moreover, she is also the founder of Dr. Frid Insect Repellent Clothing for children, a type of clothing range that is comfortable and protects children from insects such as ticks, which is the number one cause of Lyme’s disease. Outside of her professional life, she loves spending time with her family.
Specialization
Dr. Elena Frid specializes in neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. Although during her medical school she thought that she’ll only work as a general neurologist, her residency and fellowship made her aware of Lyme’s disease, and since then, she made it her mission to discover the triggers and develop treatments for this disorder. In addition to providing treatment for Lyme’s disease, she also deals with pediatric neurological diseases and tick-borne illnesses. She also relies on advanced technology for an accurate diagnosis.
After I attended a few conferences, it became clear to me that there is an association between infections and neuro-developmental, neuropsychiatric, and, in some instances, neurodegenerative conditions. It was clear that in many of the patients I was seeing, infections, inflammation, and autoimmune processes were the trigger to their neurologic syndrome and clinical presentation.”

Dr. Risa Ravitz
As a migraine sufferer myself, I have dedicated my life to helping people get better. Having dealt with migraines for years, I really get what you’re dealing with, how it impacts your life, and why it’s so important to find relief fast. Together, we can get answers and better manage, reduce, and even relieve your symptoms entirely. That’s always our goal. It starts with education and, of course, the right treatment and care.”
Another excellent neurologist practicing in New York is Dr. Risa Ravitz. She has been in practice for over a decade, and she is quite popular among her patient base because of her amazing assessment skills. Being a spiritual person, Dr. Ravitz loves connecting with her patients and learning about their life and goals, which undoubtedly makes them feel cared for. Outside of her clinic, she loves surfing, writing, and spending time with her family and friends.
Specialization
Dr. Risa Ravitz specializes in migraine management, besides dealing with general neurology and pain management. She is also keen on utilizing the latest technology in her treatments. While a large chunk of patients demands a physician to carry out the required procedure, she claims that robots are efficient and their treatment carries less risk of error.
Many people think that a migraine is just a bad headache. But it’s so much more than that. Migraine is a disabling neurological disease with different symptoms and multiple treatment approaches.”

Dr. Douglas C. Schottenstein
I feel like based on the combination of neurology and anesthesiology background, I’ve gotten to know pain management pretty well, and gotten to realize what a complex field it is.”
Dr. Douglas Schottenstein is an outstanding physician. He has traveled most of the United States to complete his medical school and training. Dr. Schottenstein trained in neurology in Atlanta before coming to New York for his fellowship in pain medicine. He is also part of many prestigious societies. Dr. Schottenstein also goes above and beyond to care for his patients.
Specialization
Dr. Douglas Schottenstein specializes in neurology and pain management. Dr. Schottenstein is result-oriented, therefore, he utilizes a wide variety of procedures to treat his patients. Some of the techniques and procedures used by Dr. Schottenstein are trans-foraminal nerve blocks, sympathetic blocks, radiofrequency lesioning, provocative discography, annuloplasty, spinal cord stimulation, and intrathecal pumps.
We come up with these different definitions of pain and what pain is, but there’s no clear-cut way to diagnose people’s pain. For example, if someone comes in and says they have a pain score of 5 out of 10, and you try to further delineate that by doing a lab test or an imaging investigation, or an MRI, you’re typically never going to be able to objectively assess what 5 out of 10 means for that given individual.”

My neuro-oncology practice focuses on the management of complex benign and malignant tumors of the brain and spine. My neurosurgical practice is dedicated to the use of a noninvasive technology called “stereotactic radiosurgery” to treat — without pain or hospitalization — tumors affecting the brain and spine, arteriovenous malformations, and trigeminal neuralgia.”
