Dr. Tamara Stiep
Overview
Dr. Tamara Stiep is a neurologist who cares for patients with movement disorders. She is particularly interested in Parkinson's disease; essential tremor; multiple system atrophy (a neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement and regulation of involuntary body functions); progressive supranuclear palsy (a neurodegenerative disorder that affects walking, balance and sight); Lewy body dementia (a disorder in which abnormal protein deposits in the brain affect thought, movement and behavior); and other conditions involving involuntary movements, such as dystonia, ataxia, chorea and tardive dyskinesia. Stiep is experienced in using advanced techniques to treat movement disorders, including deep brain stimulation (implanting electrodes in the brain to alleviate abnormal motions). She collaborates with colleagues in other specialties to evaluate potential candidates for deep brain stimulation and takes special care during and after surgery to ensure the electrodes are optimally placed to reduce the patient's symptoms. She is also well versed in using botulinum toxin (Botox) and alternative ways to administer carbidopa/levodopa (Duopa). Stiep's research focuses on the effects of deep brain stimulation on non-motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease. Stiep earned her medical degree at New York Medical College. She completed a residency in adult neurology at Jackson Memorial Hospital at the University of Miami, where she served as chief resident and received an award for compassion in medicine. She completed a fellowship in movement disorders at the University of Florida. Stiep is a member of the American Academy of Neurology and the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
Dr. Stiep is highly rated in 3 conditions, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Parkinson's Disease, Movement Disorders, Drug Induced Dyskinesia, Essential Tremor, and Deep Brain Stimulation.
Dr. Stiep is board certified in American Board Of Psychiatry And Neurology., Neurology. She is actively involved in clinical research, co-authoring 6 peer reviewed articles. Dr. Stiep is currently accepting new patients.

Clinical Research
Clinical research consists of overseeing clinical studies of patients undergoing new treatments and therapies, and publishing articles in peer reviewed medical journals. Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.
Memory And Aging Center
Dr. Adam Boxer is a neurologist at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center who specializes in Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia and atypical parkinsonism – in particular, corticobasal degeneration and progressive supranuclear palsy. Boxer obtained his medical and doctoral degrees as part of the Medical Scientist Training Program at New York University School of Medicine, a program funded by the National Institutes of Health. He completed a residency in neurology at Stanford University Medical Center and a fellowship in behavioral neurology at UCSF. Boxer directs the clinical neurology research unit for the Sandler Neurosciences Center at Mission Bay, as well as the clinical trials program for Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia at the Memory and Aging Center. Boxer received the Edwin Boldrey Award from the San Francisco Neurological Society in 2002 for basic research in neurological disease, the 2005 John Douglas French Alzheimer's Foundation Alzheimer's Award and a 2009 Hellman Family Foundation fellowship. Dr. Boxer is highly rated in 21 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Atypical, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, Supranuclear Ophthalmoplegia, and Corticobasal Degeneration. Dr. Boxer is board certified in American Board Of Psychiatry/Neurology-Psychiatry, Neurology. Dr. Boxer is currently accepting new patients.
Adolescent And Young Adult Neuro-Oncology Clinic
John De Groot is a Neurologist practicing medicine in San Francisco, California. Dr. De Groot is highly rated in 22 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Glioblastoma, Astrocytoma, Glioma, and Brain Tumor.
Memory And Aging Center
Dr. William Seeley works at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center. He cares for patients with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). In 2011, Seeley was named a MacArthur Foundation Fellow for his research on understanding FTD and other neurodegenerative diseases. His research focuses on why dementias target specific nerve cell populations. The goal is to discover what makes brain tissues susceptible or resistant to degeneration and to translate these findings into new treatments. Seeley earned his medical degree at UCSF, where he also completed an internship in internal medicine. He completed a residency in neurology at the Massachusetts General and Brigham and Women's hospitals in Boston, followed by a fellowship in behavioral neurology at UCSF. Dr. Seeley is highly rated in 19 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Frontotemporal Dementia, Dementia, Primary Progressive Aphasia, and Alzheimer's Disease. Dr. Seeley is board certified in American Board Of Psychiatry And Neurology., Neurology. Dr. Seeley is currently accepting new patients.
