About Me
Dr. Mark Barber is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at the David S. and Ruth L. Gottesman Center for Headache Treatment and Translational Research. He is board certified in Neurology and Headache Medicine.
Dr. Barber received his Bachelor of Arts from Middlebury College and went on to earn a Certificate in Premedical Sciences from Columbia University. He then earned his Master of Public Health from Columbia University before completing his Doctor of Medicine (MD) at the University of Connecticut.
After completing his MD, Dr. Barber completed his internal medicine internship at Northwell Health Lenox Hill Hospital. He then went on to complete his Neurology Residency at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, followed by a Headache Fellowship at the same institution.
Dr. Barber believes strongly that the best headache treatment outcomes are achieved through a collaborative therapeutic alliance with his patients. He regularly engages in advocacy efforts to support communities disproportionately affected by headache disorders. He has spoken about the effect of stigma on headache control and published about the interplay between lifestyle factors, identity, and headaches. He is passionate about promoting headache education and regularly teaches medical students, residents, and headache medicine fellows at Mount Sinai.

Patient Experience Star Ratings and Comments
The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
Dr. Barber has not yet completed reporting of Industry relationships.
Mount Sinai’s faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
