The Medical Center is pleased to announce the addition of visiting specialists Dr. Victor Faradji and Dr. Pascual DeSantis.

Victor Faradji, M.D., is a board-certified neurologist and practices general adult and adolescent neurology with a special interest in electromyography (EMG), a diagnostic procedure to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells (motor neurons) that control them.

Dr. Faradji also specializes in neuromuscular and spinal disorders, migraines, vertigo and dementia. He is proficient in the Epley repositioning maneuver for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, a maneuver that incorporates a series of movements that help to reposition crystals in a person’s ear that may cause feelings of vertigo.

Dr. Faradji earned his Medical Degree from the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City and completed his Internal Medicine internship and Neurology residency at University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center in Miami. He has participated in scientific research studies involving diabetic neuropathy and Alzheimer’s disease. He is affiliated with First Choice Neurology. His office is located in the Baptist Medical Arts Building in Miami. For more information about Dr. Faradji or to make an appointment, click here.
