J Mocco, MD, MS

Grateful beyond words. Thank you to @JoshBedersonMD , @chriskellnerMD and the Mount Sinai Department of Neurosurgery for a wonderful evening celebrating 11 remarkable years together. The work we did — and the people I got to do it with — will stay with me always.

Parkinson's disease affects millions of people — and the treatment landscape is evolving rapidly. On April 16 at 6pm, my colleague Dr. Michael Kaplitt, MD, PhD will host a free patient webinar on living well with Parkinson’s. Register here: weillcornell.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Was awesome to have my friend and mentor J Mocco down to San Antonio as a visiting professor! @JMoccoMD @UTHealthNeuro @UTHealthSA @UthsaNsurgRes @FadiAlSaieghMD @MollyLafuente @FbMesfin @MichaelGaub

Had the chance to meet a great group of faculty and residents at @UTHealthNeuro. Dr. John Floyd, Chair of NS at UTSA, is making Vanderbilt proud by leading a great department. @jmascite is a force to be reckoned with. Thank you for the honor of the visit… and the spurs.

We are proud to welcome Dr. Neerav Kumar and Dr. Robert "RJ" Oris as the newest members of the Weill Cornell Medicine Neurological Surgery Residency Program. Each year, our program attracts exceptional trainees — and this year's incoming residents are no exception.

Countless leadership and management pearls from @dhmeyer during a fireside chat with Dr. Brian Donley.  Tremendous insight into people and hospitality.  Amazing session.

Voting is open for the Best Hospitals survey. If you're a physician familiar with our department, we’d be grateful for your vote. Go to Doximity.com, find U.S. News Best Hospitals and Children’s Hospitals and choose NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital – Columbia & Cornell.

What a fantastic day teaching neurosurgeons from across the country how to perform endoscopic intracerebral hemorrhage evacuation alongside @chriskellnermd. The MINUTE trial is poised to transform how we approach treatment for patients with deep brain bleeds.

Excellent start to #ISC2025 this morning, teaching on the expert panel for our "Complexities and Complications" difficult case discussion. Always valuable to collaborate with colleagues on the challenging cases that push our field forward.

Always energizing to catch up with some of the leading cerebrovascular neurosurgeons in the field. Great conversations with William Mack, @ducruetaf and @ChrisKellnermd at #ISC26 about where stroke care is headed. Grateful for the ideas and the camaraderie.

Great time at #ISC26! Had the privilege of connecting with colleagues across neurosurgery, neurocritical care, neurology and neuroradiology to discuss the future of stroke care. Collaboration and a commitment to improving outcomes for patients—that's what it's all about.

Proud to celebrate our @WeillCornell neurological surgeons named to the @CastleConnolly 2026 Top Doctors list. I’m honored to be included in this distinguished group. This recognition reflects their dedication to exceptional patient care and advancing neurosurgical innovation.

2026 American Stroke Association acute ischemic stroke guidelines recently released. Thrombectomy for medium/distal vessel occlusions not routinely recommended. Worth revisiting the trial data. There are considerations physicians should take into account. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Grateful for Weill Cornell Medicine Dept. of Neurology’s warm welcome. It was a privilege to share some lessons from my own path—the wins, the failures and everything in between—with such an engaged group of students, residents and faculty. Looking forward to much more of this.

January 15 is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday. We honor his legacy by asking our community to reflect on Dr. King’s momentous “I Have a Dream” speech and share their own dreams for the future of medicine and healthcare. What is your dream for medicine and healthcare?

As I settle into my new role as Chair of Neurological Surgery at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian, I’m looking forward to sharing more here - about our work, our team and the future of neurosurgery.

Had a FANTASTIC course on #epilepsy surgery at #PedsNeuro2024! Insights from the great epilepsy @neurosurgery leaders: Dr Saadi Ghatan, Dr Wittayanakorn, @howardweinermd @a__fallah Dr Alex Weil, @GMI_Canada & Dr Dan Curry. Thank you to @PedsSection @AANSNeuro @CNS_Update for this incredible opportunity. @MountSinaiNeuro @MountSinaiPeds @TexasChildrens @BCMNeurosurgery @dgsomucla @uclamch @SickKids @Samitivej @MSHSNeurology @TexasChildrens @UmontrealN
