Biography
Dr. Susan Gauthier is an academic neurologist with a specialty in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is a chronic neurological disease causing variable levels of disability; this may include difficulties with ambulation, vision, balance, and cognition. Although there are FDA approved therapies for the treatment of MS, many patients only partially respond, therefore active research is ongoing in this field to provide novel treatment strategies to patients. In addition to specializing in the treatment of multiple sclerosis, she is an active clinical investigator in the field. Dr. Gauthier is committed to providing the highest quality of care to her patients and aspires to improve the quality of life for patients suffering from this disease. Dr. Susan Gauthier received her DO degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. After completing her medical internship at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Boston, Dr. Gauthier finished her neurology residency at the Boston University Medical Center where she served as Chief Resident. Dr. Gauthier was a recipient of a three year Multiple Sclerosis Society Clinical Trial Training Fellowship in which she completed at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and received a MPH from the Harvard School of Public Health. She is currently a member of the clinical staff at the Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Care and Research Center at The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, where she is Clinical Attending and Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology and Neuroscience.
