M. Mehdi Kazmi, MD Neurologist in New York
About Dr. M. Mehdi Kazmi
New York neurologist Dr. M. Mehdi Kazmi is dual-trained in neurology and psychiatry, with a practice built on headaches and migraine, memory and cognitive disorders, sleep and movement disorders, and the neurological causes of neck, back and limb pain.
Training. He earned his medical degree at the Benha Faculty of Medicine of Zagazig University, then completed a combined neurology and psychiatry residency at Montefiore Medical Center and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where he is Clinical Assistant Professor. He speaks English, Spanish, Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi and Arabic.
In practice since 1984 and in New York since 1995, he has spent more than two decades in headache management and mood disorders across the Bronx and Westchester. His approach is personalized, compassionate care.
Medical, not surgical. That is what makes the pairing useful: a neurologist can investigate a headache, a memory change or a numb hand in the office, treat it without an operation where that is the right answer, and hand it to a surgical colleague where it is not.
At NeuroOrthoNYC in New York he works alongside neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons, so medical and surgical perspectives review your case together before any plan is settled.
