Neil L. Sielski, MD

As a neuro-oncologist at NYU Langone, my dedication to patient care is driven by the tremendous responsibility and honor of supporting individuals facing challenging diagnoses. I strive to treat not just the illness, but the person, appreciating its effects on physical, emotional, and social wellbeing. My aim is to not only treat the condition but to enhance the quality of life for patients and their families throughout the process.

In my practice, I address patients with a wide range of neuro-oncological conditions, including primary brain tumors such as gliomas and meningiomas, metastatic diseases affecting the nervous system, and neurologic challenges posed by cancer and its treatments. The role of point person within our multidisciplinary team is incredibly rewarding. I collaborate with neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, neuroradiologists, and neuropathologists to provide cohesive, personalized care, using the latest in diagnostics and therapy.

Our team's strength is rooted in our commitment to innovative diagnostic and treatment options. We leverage advanced imaging and molecular diagnostics to fine tune treatment plans, offering patients personalized approaches based on the specific characteristics of their tumors. Our involvement in clinical trials provides access to cutting-edge therapies that may not be available elsewhere, playing a vital role in pushing the boundaries of patient care.

I reassure patients that despite the seriousness of neuro-oncological conditions, they have a partner in navigating this landscape. With a field that rapidly advances, it's crucial to have a specialist who combines expertise with empathy. My approach focuses on understanding patients' medical conditions alongside their personal aspirations and definitions of living well, working together with a multidisciplinary team to deliver personalized care.

In all aspects, my commitment remains firm in striving for excellence in patient care, ensuring that every patient receives the most advanced, compassionate, and personalized treatment possible.
