Deborah Rukin Gold, MD



As a child neurologist, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, individualized care to the vulnerable patients and families who trust me with their care. I focus on ensuring I meet each child’s unique healthcare needs. I use age-appropriate play and conversation to get a complete history and examination. I encourage questions from the child and their family members. I want the family to know that they’re listened to and are empowered to carry out the care plan. I feel lucky to be part of my patients’ healthcare journey, even if it’s a small part. I truly enjoy watching my patients flourish over the years, each in their own way.
