Bio
Biography
Dr. Zoltan Mari's clinical practice focuses on movement disorders, including Parkinsons disease and related syndromes, essential tremor and dystonia, with particular interest in deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy and Botulinum toxin injections. His clinical interests also include clinical neurophysiology, including nerve conduction/electromyography and intra-operative monitoring.
Zoltan Mari, M.D., graduated first in his Medical School class at the University of Szeged, Hungary. His training includes residency in neurology (SUNY Downstate, Brooklyn, NY), fellowship in movement disorders and clinical neurophysiology with EMG emphasis (both at NIH, Bethesda, MD), and Clinical Research Curriculum Certificate (NIH). He is board certified in neurology and clinical neurophysiology by ABPN. During his senior fellowship years Dr. Mari served as Director of the NIH Botulinum Toxin Clinic and was featured in CBSs 60 minutes, as the injector of the pianist Leon Fleisher. Dr. Mari received travel awards from the AAN and ANA during his training years.
