Dr. Mustafa Saad Siddiqui is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. He is the director of Parkinson's disease & Movement Disorders program and co-director of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) program at Wake Forest University-Baptist Medical Center.
Dr. Siddiqui, graduated from Army Medical College in Pakistan in 1990. He did his first residency in Internal Medicine and remained in practice until 2000 when he moved to the USA. He did a research fellowship in Stroke and Endovascular neurosurgery at State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo. He completed his neurology residency from Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia (formerly known as MCP-Hahnemann University). He then completed a fellowship in Parkinson's disease, Movement disorders and Deep Brain Stimulation from University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville.
Dr. Siddiqui specializes in the medical and surgical treatment of Parkinson's disease and movement disorders. He is among few movement disorder specialists who are also fellowship trained in micro-electrode recording, which is a type of an intra-operative technique to generate a physiological map of the brain for patients undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery. In addition to the medical treatment of Parkinson's disease and movement disorders, including botulinum toxin treatment injections for dystonia patients, he is involved in selection of surgical candidates, intra-operative physiological brain mapping and post operative programming of DBS patients.
Dr. Siddiqui is a member of the American Academy of Neurology, Movement Disorder Society and Parkinson's disease Study Group (PSG). He is involved in many research projects involving Parkinson's disease. Dr. Siddiqui's work has been presented in national and international conferences including American Academy of Neurology meetings, Movement Disorders Congress, American Neurological Surgeons meetings and International Stroke Association meetings. He has published in peer reviewed journals such as Neurosurgery and Stroke. He has also written book chapters in various textbooks.
Dr. Siddiqui's special research interests include motor and non motor aspects of Parkinson's disease, novel therapeutic treatments of neurological disorders including brain stimulation and stem cell therapy.
