Biography
Dr. Albert Fenoy is the director of functional neurosurgery at Northwell Health. As an experienced, world-renowned neurosurgeon specializing in complex brain and spinal disorders, he acts as the Director of Functional Neurosurgery at Northwell Health. After obtaining his medical degree from Stony Brook School of Medicine, he completed his residency at the University Iowa followed by fellowship training at CHU Grenoble in France. He began his career at The University of Texas Science Center at Houston, where Dr. Fenoy became prominent for innovating the field of functional neurosurgery. Dr. Fenoy is also a fellow of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and a member of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons. He is committed to providing the highest level of patient care using the latest techniques and technology.Dr. Fenoy is an active researcher at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, focusing on the development of new surgical techniques and technologies to improve outcomes for patients with neurological conditions, including deep brain stimulation (DBS) and other forms of neuromodulation. He has utilized this expertise in DBS by performing over 700 cases to date. Dr. Albert Fenoy is also known for his expertise in high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), a non-invasive surgical technique that uses focused ultrasound waves to heat and destroy targeted tissue without harming surrounding healthy tissue. In 2023, North Shore University at Northwell Health equipped Dr. Fenoy with this technology in order to bring the highest quality of care to the community.Dr. Fenoy has been involved in several clinical trials in DBS and has been exploring the use of HIFU for the treatment of a variety of movement disorders such as essential tremor and Parkinson's disease. Through his work with HIFU, Dr. Fenoy provides patients with innovative, non-invasive treatments that offer fewer complications and a faster recovery time. He has also been actively involved in educating other physicians and surgeons about the use of DBS and HIFU in the field of neurosurgery.Dr. Fenoy is known for his compassionate approach to patient care and his ability to communicate complex medical information in a clear and understandable way. He works closely with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their unique needs and goals.Using the latest techniques and technology to diagnose and treat a wide range of neurological conditions, including Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, treatment resistant depression, and chronic pain, he is also actively involved in research to improve the effectiveness of surgical treatments for these conditions.

Dr. Albert Fenoy is an excellent, experienced Neurosurgeon at Northwell Health North Shore University Hospital. He performed Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Surgery on me. I had severe Parkinson's Disease (PD) symptoms, and the drugs were wearing off, and not helping. He hit the sweet spot in the brain. The results were amazing! The stiffness & rigidity went away almost immediately. It was fantastic, almost miraculous! Me & my Neurologist are working on reducing the tremors using the electrical pulse generator. Wow! I got my life back! I can do so much more now. Definitely a big increase in my quality of life. If you have PD, and you are a candidate for the DBS Surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Fenoy.
