Patient Reviews
Apr 12, 2024
Dr. Kaplitt spent an hour explaining various surgical options and the pros and cons of each treatment for my essential tremor. He made sure that I understood everything and that I had asked any question I might have had before ending the appointment. On a personal level, I appreciated his warmth and humor. As a prospective surgery patient, I was very impressed with his obvious understanding of his field and clear vision as to what can and can’t be accomplished with the two possible surgical approaches. I also liked hearing from a nurse that he is one of the docs who continues to learn from and participate in clinical trials. I have complete faith in Dr Kaplitt’s judgment and abilities. Excellent doctor!!

About Me
Care Philosophy
-
I am a neurosurgeon with clinical activities focused upon the usage of minimally invasive, stereotactic techniques for the treatment of functional disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and epilepsy. I also use surgical methods to implant devices such as spinal cord stimulators and opiate pumps to treat complex pain, and I am a expert in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and hydrocephalus. I have pioneered the use of gene therapy in the brain and have published more than 40 papers and edited two books on this subject. I recently completed the first clinical trial of gene therapy for Parkinson's disease for FDA approval, and my laboratory is actively researching mechanisms of cell death in diseases such as Parkinson's and Huntington's. I am the recipient of numerous awards, including the Young Investigator Award from the American Society for Gene Therapy and was named to Crain's '40 under 40' list for 2004. I currently serve on the editorial boards of several journals, and am the editor for the Web site of the World Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery. I am also a member of the Committee on Admissions at Weill Cornell Medical College and am an adjunct professor at The Rockefeller University.
