Stereotactic and functional neurosurgeon treating Parkinson disease, essential tremor, and dystonia at the University of Chicago Department of Neurosurgery, Hyde Park.
Dr. Atik is a stereotactic and functional neurosurgeon with more than 14 years in clinical practice. At the University of Chicago Department of Neurosurgery, his work centers on the surgical treatment of movement disorders: deep brain stimulation, focused ultrasound, and stereotactic radiosurgery for Parkinson disease, essential tremor, dystonia, and hemifacial spasm when symptoms are not adequately controlled by medication.
He also leads research on network-level analysis of the brain and the integration of each patient's brain wiring (tractography) into surgical planning, working alongside the University of Chicago's multidisciplinary functional neurosurgery team.
New-patient and referral visits are seen at the University of Chicago's Hyde Park campus. Clinic is held on Thursdays.

This website provides general educational information about movement disorder surgery and a way to request an appointment. It does not provide medical advice and is not a substitute for evaluation by a physician. Surgery for movement disorders is decided by a multidisciplinary team after medical therapy has been optimized; it controls symptoms but does not cure the underlying disease. In an emergency, call 911. Requesting an appointment does not by itself establish care; a clinician-patient relationship begins at your scheduled visit.
