Get to know Neurologist Dr. Seema Dixit, who serves patients throughout the State of New Jersey.

Dr. Dixit, a board-certified neurologist, practices at Princeton & Rutgers Neurology with offices throughout the state of New Jersey. Although her emphasis in neurology is with epilepsy and seizures, she also treats other neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, headaches, migraines, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, vertigo, as well as neck and back pain.

In practice for nearly two decades, Princeton & Rutgers Neurology consists of a team of medical professionals who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system. They treat a vast range of neurological disorders and sleep disorders, from common to complex, with compassion and the most advanced, state-of-the-art technology. Priding themselves on delivering collaborative patient-centered care, Princeton and Rutgers Neurology is widely respected within the referring physician and patient communities.

After earning her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2003, Dr. Dixit went on to complete her internship in internal medicine at Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia. Wanting to further her training, she completed her residency in neurology at the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, where she served as chief resident during her final year. Her fellowship in clinical neurophysiology was completed at the same educational venue. 

Following her training, she was a neurologist in private practice in Northern Virginia and held the position of Assistant Professor of Neurology at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine. At present, she is affiliated with St. Peter’s University Hospital in New Brunswick. 

A testament to her success and drive, the doctor is board-certified in neurology and epilepsy by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, which is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to promoting high-quality patient care for the public through the initial and continuing certification of psychiatrists and neurologists. 

Additionally, in order to stay up to date in her field, Dr. Dixit remains a member of the American Academy of Neurology, the American Epilepsy Society, the American Osteopathic Association, and the American Medical Association.

Neurology is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the nervous system. Neurologists are licensed medical specialists who diagnose and treat disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles of patients. They examine a patient’s mental and physical status, conduct medical tests and scans, and evaluate the results to diagnose and treat the patient.
