Sheldon Jordan, MD, FAAN
Clinical Associate Professor of Neurology, UCLA
Neurology, brain health and regenerative medicine
Sheldon Jordan is a neurologist in Santa Monica and a clinical associate professor of neurology at UCLA, where he has held a voluntary faculty appointment since 1988. He leads Neurological Associates The Interventional Group and is chief investigator for The Regenesis Project, which studies approaches to brain repair.
He studied at Johns Hopkins University and earned his MD at the UCLA School of Medicine in 1977, where he also completed his internship, neurology residency and fellowship in clinical neurophysiology and electromyography. He is board certified in neurology, clinical neurophysiology, addiction medicine and interventional pain medicine, and is a fellow of the American Academy of Neurology.
His clinical work covers advanced neuroimaging, interventional treatment of pain and nerve injury, memory disorders and regenerative medicine, and his research includes focused ultrasound, transcranial magnetic stimulation and cell-based therapies. He co-edited the Springer textbook Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (2013) and wrote Regenesis: The Brain Doctor's Guide to Health (2021).
