About

Edward Tobinick, M.D.

Edward Tobinick is a California physician who has invented novel treatment approaches for a variety of medical conditions with widespread unmet medical need[1,2,3]. These conditions include Alzheimer's Disease and other forms of dementia; several forms of severe back and neck pain (including sciatica and cervical radiculopathy); a variety of additional neurological disorders; and pain due to cancer metastasis to the spine. Common to all of these conditions is the central involvement of inflammatory processes. Through May 2007 Dr. Tobinick has been awarded twelve U.S. patents for these new methods of treatment. His published papers have been cited in more than 150 scientific articles from leading academic centers around the world. His scientific work has been presented at medical conferences both in the U.S. and abroad. Major academic medical centers are currently involved in collaborative research with him to investigate his unique methods designed to deliver large molecules across the blood-brain barrier. In 2007 the anti-TNF pilot study for Alzheimer's Disease[1] conducted by Dr. Tobinick and his colleagues was recognized and cited by the prestigious Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives in their Progress Report on Brain Research[4] and by a review article discussing the therapeutic potential of TNF-alpha inhibition as a treatment strategy for Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases by Nigel Grieg from the National Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health, and his colleagues[5]. In 2008, a case-report he co-authored documenting rapid clinical improvement in a patient with dementia following perispinal administration of etanercept, a treatment method he invented, has received considerable interest[6, 7].
Dr. Tobinick graduated from Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts, received his M.D. from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine in La Jolla, California, and completed post-graduate residencies at UCLA. He is currently the Medical Director of the Institute for Neurological Research, a private medical group, inc. at 100 UCLA Medical Plaza in Los Angeles and Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCLA.

I was very uncomfortable with the amount of foul language they used. I wish they had been more professional. I would never recommend them to anyone. They were terrible. The first time I walked into their office, I immediately smelled an absolutely horrible odor. I don't think they've ever cleaned the place. It made me nauseous. Everything they originally told me they would be able to do for me, they ended up not being able to do. I felt lied to. The staff must have not been trained very well. Almost every time I would ask them a question, they'd refer me to their boss or someone else.
