Staff

Number of Physicians Currently in Practice:

Physician Team: The current team consists of one neuromuscular specialist, Dr. Jinny Tavee, and two APPs, with plans to expand by adding more neurologists.

Dr. Tavee works a .7 FTE and will be reduced to a .5 FTE when the practice is fully staffed so that she can focus on research and trials.

The practice can support two additional neurologists.

Support Staff: The clinic is well-supported by nurses, medical assistants, and a dedicated tech for the ALS clinic.

Practice Environment: The team fosters a highly collaborative and supportive environment, described as family-like, with strong interprofessional collaboration and a focus on maintaining a positive and non-toxic work culture.

Staff Longevity: The practice enjoys low turnover rates, and the team often engages in social activities outside of work, which contributes to a cohesive and supportive work environment

Division Chief

What do we do? The Division of Neurology and Behavioral Health at National Jewish Health encompasses a multidisciplinary team whose aim is to diagnose and treat complex neuromuscular diseases and related metabolic and respiratory disorders, as well as neuropsychological disorders.

Our goal is to help patients manage their diseases and disorders so they can lead full and active lives. We recognize that individuals with chronic diseases do better if they have the knowledge and coping skills to manage their own conditions.

Why National Jewish Health? At National Jewish Health, our neurologists, neuropsychologists and advanced practice providers conduct and participate in research to further the understanding and treatments of neurologic and neuropsychological conditions.
