Vijaya L. Atluru, MD

As a pediatric neurologist at NYU Langone, I am committed to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care. My approach to healthcare is holistic, considering not just the condition, but the whole person. I take into account how physical, emotional, and social factors interplay in each patient's wellbeing. I am especially passionate about creating a supportive environment for children, involving family, addressing educational requirements, and developmental needs. Helping children achieve their maximum potential and guiding them toward becoming responsible citizens in our community bring me immense fulfillment.

My expertise lies in managing a diverse range of neurological and developmental issues. I focus on common conditions such as epilepsy, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, headaches, and migraines. I also have experience with autism and other neurologic disorders. I work with patients across different age groups, from infants to young adults, tailoring my approach to their unique developmental stages and needs. My commitment to proactive engagement in healthcare ensures that I am always up to date with the latest advancements in pediatric neurology, providing the best possible care for my patients.

Throughout my career, I have been inspired by the resilience of individuals and families as they navigate health challenges. This has driven my dedication to providing personalized treatment plans that address both the medical and emotional needs of my patients. I am committed to ensuring that my patients feel heard and supported throughout their healthcare journey.

My journey into medicine was inspired by the healthcare professionals who cared for me during my childhood and adolescent years. I was drawn to neurology by a fascination with the complexity of the brain and its influence on behavior and cognition. As I observed the resiliency and potential in young lives, my interest in pediatrics gradually expanded. I am the first individual in my family to pursue a career in medicine, and I am proud to pave the way for future generations and their interests in the same field.
