Professor Tatyana Gurevich
Neurologist with over 30 years of experience in Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, and complex neurological disorders
“I’ve been working in neurology for more than three decades. Over the years, I’ve met thousands of patients – each with their own story, their own challenges. My goal has always been to listen first, then treat. Whether it’s Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, or memory decline, I believe in tailoring each plan to the person behind the diagnosis.”
I’m currently the Head of the Movement Disorders Unit at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv and lead Israel’s national center for Huntington’s disease. Alongside my hospital work, I see patients privately in TAMC clinic— including many from abroad — and help guide them through diagnosis, second opinions, and long-term care.

Common Questions – Answered Personally
By Professor Tatyana Gurevich
1. Who do you usually treat?
I see all kinds of patients – from teenagers who are suddenly facing strange neurological symptoms, to older adults dealing with Parkinson’s or cognitive issues. Sometimes it’s a second opinion, other times it’s a long diagnostic journey. What they have in common is the need for time, attention, and real answers – and that’s exactly what I try to give.
2. What’s your approach to treating Parkinson’s?
Every case is different. Some people respond well to classic medications, others need something more nuanced. I always start by listening – not just to symptoms, but to the person behind them. We review scans, talk through what’s been tried, and come up with a treatment plan that’s practical and personal. I’m not a fan of “copy-paste” medicine.
3. Do you speak Russian/English?
Yes, I do. Russian/English is my first language. A lot of patients who come to me from all over the world, US, Europe, Ukraine, Russia, or Belarus feel more at ease when they can speak in their native language – especially when discussing something as delicate as brain health. I make sure they feel heard and respected.
4. I live outside of Israel. Can I still get your opinion?
Definitely. Many of my patients contact me from abroad. They usually send medical records – MRIs, test results, doctor summaries – and we arrange an online meeting. It’s not rushed. I go through everything carefully and offer a clear opinion and suggestions for next steps.
5. What makes your clinic different?
I think people come to us because we don’t treat them like numbers. We take the time to understand what they’re going through – medically and emotionally. My job isn’t just to diagnose, but to guide. That might mean advanced treatment or sometimes just explaining things in a way that finally makes sense.
