Nitin Tandon, MD, is a professor of neurosurgery at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth and practices at Memorial Hermann Hospital – Texas Medical Center. He is currently chief of the epilepsy surgery program at Memorial Hermann Mischer Neuroscience Institute.
Dr. Tandon has served as a clinician at UTHealth since 2004 and has recently formed the Texas Institute for Restorative Neurotechnologies (TIRN) to study and develop new treatments for brain disorders. He has performed over 3,500 brain operations, including more than 1,500 for brain tumors and 900 for epilepsy.
Dr. Tandon specializes in the surgical treatment of epilepsy and has pioneered a number of innovative technologies and minimally invasive approaches including robot-assisted stereo-electro-encephalography and laser ablation. In parallel, his research interests yield fundamental insights into the processes of cognition and epilepsy using intracranial recordings, non-invasive imaging data, and cortical stimulation. These discoveries will pave the way for innovative rehabilitative and neuro-prosthetic approaches to the resolution of brain disorders such as intractable epilepsy.
Dr. Tandon’s research is currently funded by several National Institutes of Health grants including a BRAIN initiative award, and by the NSF. He has authored over 75 peer reviewed publications in journals such as Nature Neuroscience, Brain and JAMA Neurology and is a member of several professional organizations. He is a clinical leader in the treatment of epilepsy, as well as an avid scientist delving into its underlying causes and future therapies.

Dr. Tandon and his team did an excellent job working in every area of my care.Thanks to all the team .
Thanks for everything that you all do everyday.
Awesome service.
Happy I could do video visit with the doctor as I live 2 hours north of med center and I45 has become very dangerous. Video visit was great quality
Highly established scientific and health support department
I have been waiting several days for a scheduled date for a lumbar puncture
Over all. GREAT, as usual!
Everything was great!
The fellow did not listen to me but the doctor did.
I felt they all were caring individuals - listening and answering questions. I am grateful that I was recommended to the best Doctor and staff. Thank you Dr. Tandon !
Overall experience is very satisfactory
We really appreciated the resident helping us. He was a professional who showed great care for what we are experiencing not just the medical facts. He seemed to be in line with Dr Tandon's professional disposition. (Previous residents we had was TERRIBLE!)
[...] He seemed to resent my questions regarding possible side effects of his recommended medication. He asked if I was going to "Go through the entire organ system" to ask about side effects. [...] He was 1.5 hours late for the appointment. [...] He seemed to be disappointed in my rejection of a surgical solution. He reminded me several times during the visit by stating, "I love to operate". To say the least my time with him was underwhelming and anything but confidence instilling.
Contacting staff and getting a response is quite difficult
Satisfied with the ck up n action taken for explanation of reason for appt
Hi, Dr. Tandon and [...] are amazing. They always make sure that they take care of you every need. They know you personally as a patient. They are highly qualified. Thank you.
It was a very welcoming team. And I felt very comfortable and at peace with all conversations.
I appreciated his thorough efforts to clarify some miscommunication between myself and Dr [...]. Not to disparage Dr [...], he's a fine doctor with solutions to my 63-year illness, which affects me as well as the lives of my entire family. I look forward to working with them both.
Outstanding
Thanks again for your help with this matter
every body has been very very good
I am continually thankful for the care I received from Dr Tandon and his Team. The only disappointment I have ever had was with the in office oncologist that recommended oncology treatment for a non-malignant/benign brain tumor of 10-15yrs progression and no other tumors or metastasis noted on my Pan-Scan. I will be ever thankful to Dr Tandon and his team!
Dr Tandon is compassionate and professional. He took his time explaining my situation and addressing my concerns. I feel confident and comfortable under his care.
Dr. Tandon was great.
I am grateful that Dr. Tandon understands my condition and has had over100 cases like mine. Finally a Neurosurgeon that can and will help me. Thank the Lord.
I appreciate how everyone explained everything in the way I was able to understand. Doctors listened to everything my husband and I had to say or ask. Thank You
Went well.
Yes, The only place you have a problem is when I call in to Dr. Tandon 's office. I am put on hold every time and it takes along time to get someone to call me back.
Dr Tandon..there is no better! His PA [...][...] is extremely knowledgeable and goes above and beyond for us! [...] is very efficient and helpful. They are amazing and treat us like family!
I appreciate the clarity and knowledge shared. I appreciate that I am treated as a person and not a number to get through.
