New Jersey Neuroscience Institute Chairman
Recognized as one of America’s Top Doctors
EDISON, NJ-Metuchen resident Martin Gizzi, M.D., Ph.D., chairman and professor of Neurology at the New Jersey Neuroscience Institute (NJNI) at JFK Medical Center in Edison, has been honored as a top doctor by three publications.

He was also recognized for the same honors last year.
Physicians who make the final list for America’s Top Doctors have been recognized by a national review that surveys top medical professionals for names of doctors they consider to not only be the best in their field but to whom they would feel comfortable referring a family member. One must be listed by multiple professionals to make it to the list.
In his 14-year medical career, Dr. Gizzi has distinguished himself internationally as a researcher in vision and balance disorders. His work with NASA led to his directing experiments performed by astronauts aboard two space shuttle missions in the 1990s. He has received numerous research grants from the National Institutes of Health and NASA . In his clinical work he has become known as an expert in neuro-ophthalmology.
Dr. Gizzi’s credentials and accomplishments include a B.A. in Mathematics from Hamilton College in NY, an MA in Experimental Psychology and a Ph.D. in Visual Neurophysiology from New York University in New York City, and an M.D. from the University of Miami in FL.

His postdoctoral training includes a research fellowship in visual physiology at New York University; an internship at New Rochelle Hospital; and a neurology residency at Mount Sinai Hospital.
