NYU Langone Health named top neurology and neurosurgery department in US

NYU Langone Health has been named the top hospital in the United States for neurology and neurosurgery, according to the latest survey from U.S. News & World Report.

The academic health system also placed third in the country overall and first in New York State in the media outlet’s annual Best Hospitals Honor Roll.

“This recognition is reflective of one standard of care (one hospital provider number) that is consistently supported by our faculty and staff across each of our hospitals,” Robert I. Grossman, MD, CEO of NYU Langone Health and dean of NYU Grossman School of Medicine, said in a related press release.

In that same report, University of California, San Francisco, Medical Center clocked in as the No. 2 hospital nationwide for neurology and neurosurgery — its 26th consecutive year ranking in the top five for those specialties. UCSF also was chosen as the No. 1 hospital in the West for psychiatry and immune-system disorders.

“We are honored to be recognized for the superb and compassionate care our teams provide every day for patients with the greatest medical challenges, including the most vulnerable members of our community,” Suresh Gunasekaran, president and CEO at UCSF Health, said in a university release.

The annual honor roll list, which is designed to help patients and their physicians make informed decisions about where to receive quality care, recognizes the top 20 hospitals that deliver “exceptional treatment across many areas of care,” according to U.S. News & World Report.

The top five hospitals for neurological care are:

• NYU Langone Hospitals

• University of California, San Francisco, Medical Center

• New York-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia and Cornell

• Rush University Medical Center

• Johns Hopkins Hospital
