About the fixel institute

From Parkinson’s disease to multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease to essential tremor, the Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases at UF Health provides multi-disciplinary, patient-centered care and treatment to people living with complex neurological disorders.

At the Fixel Institute, you can see the multi-disciplinary, patient-centered care in action. Like our founding philosophy says, “the patient is the sun, and all care should orbit around the patient.” 

This remains true for your first visit, your return visits to see your neurologist, your appointments with therapists at the rehab center and your calls with our care services like social workers and nutritionists. 

When you come to visit the Fixel Institute, you receive all your care and more in one central location.
