The practice sits in a neighborhood where academic hospitals and smaller clinics balance one another. Tristan T. Sands, MD, PhD carves out a niche in subspecialty neurology, drawing patients who need more than general diagnostic scans or basic medications.

You’ll find the office suite tucked inside the 180 Fort Washington Avenue building, a quiet but vital address a stone’s throw from the Hudson’s edge. The upper floor combines exercise physiology testing with advanced neuroimaging reads, which sets them apart from standard walk-in neurology clinics.

Daytime calls and planned visits address everything from chronic migraine profiling to sleep-related movement disorders. They leave epilepsy monitoring details and botulinum toxin regimens for carefully scheduled follow-ups. Expect referrals to nearby imaging suites and a second-opinion loop for complex headache workups. Complex vertigo cases also land here—cases that often wander between ENT offices before the right vestibular battery is ordered.

A quick glance at the map confirms the 1 train stops four long blocks west; call 646-426-3876 to confirm protocol packets and remote paperwork before the first visit.
