About Christopher Y. Way

Dr. Way is a board-certified neurologist with subspecialty training in Movement Disorders. He was born in San Francisco and grew up in Marin County. After his father was diagnosed with Parkinson disease, he became interested in neurology, graduating with an undergraduate degree in Neuroscience, attending medical school at Touro University and completing neurology residency at Kaiser Permanente and a fellowship in Movement Disorders at Oregon Health & Science University. After completing a 2-year fellowship program in Movement Disorders at Oregon Health & Science University, he has been treating patients with Parkinson's and other movement disorders since 2018. In addition to being familiar with current medical therapy for movement disorders, he also performs EMG guided botulinum toxin injections for dystonia, blepharospasm, and hemifacial spasm. Dr. Way is able to guide patients with surgical treatment for movement disorders, including focused ultrasound thalamotomy and deep brain stimulation.
