Alexander Ksendzovsky, MD, PhD

Dr. Alex Ksendzovsky is Associate Professor of Neurosurgery, Director of Epilepsy Surgery, and Director of Functional Neurosurgery. Dr. Ksendzovsky specializes in the treatment of complex neurological conditions, including epilepsy, movement disorders, brain tumors, and traumatic brain and spine injuries. Committed to personalized care, he works closely with specialists at the UM Epilepsy Center, UM Movement Disorders Center, and UM Greenebaum Cancer Center to deliver comprehensive, multidisciplinary treatment.

His expertise includes advanced surgical techniques such as epilepsy surgery; deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, and psychiatric disorders; and laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT). He also employs cutting-edge technologies, including MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) and neurophysiology-based surgeries—performed both asleep and awake—to achieve optimal outcomes.

In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Ksendzovsky leads pioneering research on the molecular and physiological mechanisms of epilepsy and explores the use of wearable technology and artificial intelligence to improve diagnostics and treatment for neurological diseases. His approach integrates the latest scientific advances with an unwavering dedication to his patients’ health and well-being.
