My name is David Lapides. IÕm a neurologist here at the University of Virginia. I have subspecialty training in multiple sclerosis and neuroimmunology. So, I see patients with neurosarcoidosis, autoimmune diseases, like multiple sclerosis, and a variety of others, along with general neurology patients, headache, epilepsy, ParkinsonÕs disease, and I do Botox therapy for migraine disorders. When I first came to UVA, I felt comfortable with the people, with the team. I did my residency here, so I felt comfortable with the doctors that I was going to be learning with, and I feel like that culture is reflected across all subspecialties here. As a neurologist here, we get a lot of time to spend with our new patients, and itÕs my goal to make sure new patients feel heard and understood and that weÕre not only treating what I identify necessarily to be the neurologic problem or non-neurologic problem, helping them get back to living their lives in a meaningful way. I work in a field of autoimmune neurology where often times it takes months or years to see any improvement in patients, and having this long-term relationship with patients, and seeing them recover over long periods of time is extraordinarily rewarding.
