About Me
Dr. Susan Shin, MD is an Associate Professor of Neurology at the Mount Sinai Hospital and program director of the neuromuscular medicine fellowship. She completed her neurology residency training at the Mount Sinai Hospital where she served as chief resident in her final year. She went on to complete dual fellowships in clinical neurophysiology and neuromuscular medicine. Dr. Shin achieved five board certifications in her fields of expertise: neurology, neuromuscular medicine, clinical neurophysiology, and neuromuscular ultrasound, from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and the American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine. This extensive training has allowed her to become an expert in electrodiagnostic testing, neuromuscular ultrasound, skin biopsy, and botulinum toxin injections.
She utilizes these skills to achieve an accurate diagnosis and provide comprehensive neurologic care for her patients. Dr. Shin enjoys listening to patients and helping them navigate complex diagnoses to ensure that they have a proper treatment plan that will improve their quality of life.
Dr. Shin offers telemedicine appointments when appropriate. Please call her office to schedule a video visit.
The state of Florida requires out-of-state professionals who are registered to provide telehealth services to display a hyperlink to the Florida Department of Health telehealth web page. This allows Florida patients who are receiving medical care by telehealth to confirm the provider’s licensure and Florida registration.

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. Shin 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.
