  • Ben Shofty, MD/PhD is an Israeli-board certified functional neurosurgeon and a former Israeli national rugby player. He graduated from the Tel-Aviv University Faculty of Medicine, and received a PhD in systems neuroscience from the Israeli Institute of Technology. He completed his neurosurgical training at the Tel-Aviv Medical Center, followed by two years of combined research/clinical fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine. His practice will focus on neuromodulation for psychiatric disorders, surgical treatments for cancer pain, movement disorders and epilepsy. In his lab, he is investigating high-order cognition and network dependent functions such as creativity and mind wondering, as well as novel interventions for OCD, depression and PTSD. In addition, he is interested in advanced imaging and visual biopsies.

    Dr. Shofty is friendly and personable. He takes whatever time is needed to fully explain and answer questions. At the start of the visit, I was very stressed. He quickly picked up on this, addressed my concerns, easing my anxiety and stress. We discussed realistic expectations of the upcoming procedure. He provided information on how to contact him and his office and encouraged me to make use of the contact information. Both he and his nurse, Alison, alleviated my fears and elicited confidence in them as practitioners. I am confident that my upcoming surgery will go well.

    Dr Shofty has a calm, confident demeanor which eased my concerns about the procedure. He answered any questions I had and supplied information in a proactive way, providing information that I had not considered asking about. And it appears that he can perform as well as explain because I'm extremely satisfied with the results.

    Dr. Ben Shofty has a marvelous presence about him. And, he does not have that attitude of so many in the medical field that leaves us clients wondering: what's really ahead. Dr. Shofty was gracious, kind, and very ¿open¿ about everything. It's honestly a pleasure to have met with Dr. Ben. I'm truly looking forward, now, to this coming experience. Most grateful, I and my dear wife, Susan, are!!! Thank You, Dr. Shofty.
