As neurologists, our physicians are highly trained to treat disorders of the nervous system, which include diseases of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Some common problems that neurologists diagnose and treat are strokes, epilepsy (seizures), headaches, dementias (Alzheimer's disease), multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and various forms of pain. Neurologists may serve as consultants to other physicians and may provide long-term care to patients with chronic neurological disorders. Our medical staff includes the following physicians:
Dr. Fox received his medical degree from Cornell University Medical College in New York in 1975. He completed his internship and residency in internal medicine at the University of Michigan Affiliated Hospitals in 1978 and a second residency in neurology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine Affiliated Hospitals in New York City in 1981. In 1982 Dr. Fox completed a neurophysiology fellowship with Dr. S. Horowitz, EMG Lab, L.I. Jewish-Hillside Medical Center in New York. Dr. Fox is a diplomate of the American Board of Neurology, the American Board of Internal Medicine, and the American Board of Medical Examiners. He is an assistant clinical professor of medicine at Columbia University and chairman of the Department of Neurosciences at Morristown Memorial Hospital. Dr. Fox has been actively engaged in neuroscience research in several areas, including Alzheimer's disease, chronic pain, epilepsy, ischemic stroke, and migraine. He has also made numerous neuroscience-related presentations on topics such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and migraine. He has received several awards, including being rated by the New Jersey Monthly magazine in 1996 and 1998 as one of the top physicians in New Jersey as rated by his peers.

Dr. Okunola joins the prestigious Neurology group, Neuroscience Center of Northern New Jersey, to provide a variety of specialized care. He specializes in epilepsy, clinical neurophysiology, and sleep medicine. Dr. Okunola completed medical school at Howard University College of Medicine. He stayed and completed his internship and neurology residency at Howard University Hospital, Washington, DC. He received fellowship training in epilepsy and clinical neurophysiology at Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC. He also completed a sleep medicine fellowship at Norwalk Hospital, Connecticut. As part of his fellowship training in clinical neurophysiology/epilepsy, he focused on intraoperative and epilepsy monitoring; EEG and EMG. As a sleep specialist, he diagnoses and treats sleep related disorders such as daytime sleepiness (hypersomnolence), insomnia, narcolepsy, obstructive, central, and complex sleep apnea, etc. Dr. Okunola is board-certified in both adult neurology and clinical neurophysiology. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Neurology.
Dr. Alias completed his medical school training at the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2008 as part of an accelerated medical program with his undergraduate university. Following this, he trained at the University of Connecticut for both a medical internship as well as a residency in Neurology. In his final year of training, he became a chief resident. He became board certified in Neurology in 2012. He completed a fellowship in Movement Disorders at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, MA. While in fellowship, Dr. Alias received specialized training in programming of deep brain stimulators as well as administration of botulinum toxin for dystonia. Dr. Alias had been in practice in Pennsylvania for two years prior to returning to northern New Jersey, where he had grown up. Dr. Alias has presented his research in Parkinson’s disease, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, and dystonia in both national and international meetings, as well as published a study on thrombolysis in stroke patients. He treats patients for a wide range of neurologic conditions, including, but not limited to, Parkinson’s disease, tremors, restless leg syndrome, stroke, migraines, cognitive loss/dementia,and seizures. |
