Why Choose Us

There are other excellent academic and private neurologists
providing care in New York City. What sets us apart?

Clinical Expertise

Looking for an experienced neurologist? You’ve found the right place.

With over 20 years of office and hospital experience at world-renowned institutions caring for critically ill patients with strokes and seizure, we’re equipped to address all your neurological concerns. From headaches, movement disorders, memory issues to the most challenging of diagnostic puzzles we have seen it all.

We Take Our Time

It’s frustrating to feel rushed and unheard during your medical visit.

Our approach allows us to spend ample time with you to hear your story. After a careful neurological examination and review of your medical records, we will propose a diagnostic and treatment plan, together with you. We aim to practice evidence-based medicine—this means that our recommendations are supported by science and research.

Accessible Appointments

Direct care from a Board-Certified Neurologist

Have you ever expected to be seen by the doctor, then been surprised to be reassigned to a physician assistant or nurse practitioner?

In our practice, you will always get the direct expertise and experience of one of us, Dr. Fatimi or Dr. Zaharakis—no PA’s, NP’s, residents or medical students.

Excellent Communication

Seeking medical care can be anxiety-provoking. We ease your worries by explaining your neurological plan in terms you can understand.

We maintain open lines of communication with your family, caregivers, and collaborating doctors to coordinate your care. We thrive on building long-term relationships with our patients, based on trust and mutual respect.

Superior Staff

There’s nothing more frustrating than hold music when you aren’t feeling well.

At our practice, you’ll always reach our friendly, experienced staff—no call trees, ever. They’ll assist you during appointments and provide clear guidance for testing and follow-up. Our patients consistently praise our team for making their experience smooth and worry-free.

Convenient Location

Network of Experts

We are well-connected

With training and experience from New York City's premier institutions, we maintain an extensive network of specialists. Should the need arise, we can quickly connect you with top experts in neuro-radiology, neurosurgery, neuro-ophthalmology, and neuro-otology to ensure the highest level of care.

We Understand Caregiving

As mothers who have cared for aging parents, we understand the stress and uncertainty that illness brings to families.

We are experienced in helping you navigate home care, advanced directives, and other “aging in place” issues that come up as we get older. As our patient, we strive to keep you as independent as possible and will assist you in accessing community services when needed.

House Calls
