Director, SHC/LPCH Evoked Potential Laboratories and Electromyography Laboratories
Director, Stanford Multiple Sclerosis

Dr. Leslie Dorfman has been on the staff at Stanford for more than 30 years, and specializes in clinical neurophysiology, multiple sclerosis, and electromyography.

Dr. Dorfman received his M.D. From Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1968. He completed residencies at Greenwich Hospital in 1970, and at Stanford in 1973. In 1974 he did fellowships at the National Hospital in London and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.

He is Board Certified in Clinical Neurophysiology by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, Electrodiagnostic Medicine by the American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine, and Neurology by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.

Dr. Dorfman is a past president of the American Association for Electrodiagnostic Medicine, the AAEM Foundation for Research and Education, and the Association of California Neurologists. He has also been a Director of the American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine, and is on the Clinical Advisory Board of the Silicon Valley Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Dr. Dorfman's research interests include the clinical electrophysiology of the peripheral and central nervous systems, including nerve conduction velocity; electromyography (EMG); and visual, auditory and somatosensory evoked potentials. He also studies the  application of digital signal processing techniques in clinical neurophysiology for the diagnosis of neurological disorders, and for neurological rehabilitation.

He is also interested in implementing new methodologies for teaching clinical neuroscience to undergraduate, graduate and medical students, residents and fellows.

Jeffrey Dunn, MD

Associate Professor, Neurology and Neurological Sciences Associate Director, Stanford Multiple Sclerosis Center

Dr. Dunn is a board certified neurologist specializing in the diagnosis, treatment and clinical research of Multiple Sclerosis and demyelinating diseases. In MS research, Dr. Dunn has served as a Principal Investigator in numerous clinical trials to improve efficacy by combination therapy and emerging immunotherapies for the disease.

He joins the Stanford MS Clinic from Seattle, where he managed one of the country's largest MS clienteles. He has been elected one of the country's "top docs" for the last eight consecutive years. Dr. Dunn earned his undergraduate degree from Haverford College, his Doctorate in Medicine from Temple University, and did his residency training in Neurology at the University of Washington.
