Dr. Barton is a dual board-certified neurologist and clinical neurophysiologist whose career integrates advanced medical science with expertise that extends beyond the clinical.

A summa cum laude graduate of the University of California, San Diego, he earned his M.D. from the UCLA School of Medicine, completed his neurology residency at UCLA, and pursued advanced fellowship training at UCLA and also at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. His subspecialty training encompassed intraoperative neuromonitoring, clinical neurophysiology, electromyography (EMG/NCV), electroencephalography (EEG), vestibular (balance) testing and neuromuscular disease. 

Board-certified in both Neurology and Clinical Neurophysiology, Dr. Barton combines a rigorous academic background with a deep commitment to patient-centered care. His research—recognized through competitive grant awards, has spanned electromyography, neuromuscular disorders, electroencephalography, vestibular testing, and neuropathy.

Appointed Clinical Professor, Dr. Barton serves on staff with leading universities nationwide, consulting on Intraoperative Neuromonitoring and Neurodiagnostics. His academic collaborations have included:

• Cleveland Clinic

• Mayo Clinic

• Rush University

• University of Tennessee

• University of Wisconsin

• Methodist University

• Scripps University

• University of Colorado

• University of New Mexico

• University of Houston

A native of Los Angeles, his academic and professional pursuits have taken him across the globe, including time at Moscow State University in Russia and Beijing University in China. 

In later years, Dr. Barton expanded his perspective on healing by becoming an ordained Orthodox rabbi, graduating from a Brooklyn yeshiva under Rabbi Chaim Finkelstein. The years of intense study required for ordination—demanding mastery of complex legal, ethical, and spiritual texts—proved a challenge. This uncommon combination of medical expertise and rabbinical scholarship informs his approach to care, recognizing that true healing sometimes extends beyond medication or physical interventions to address deeper dimensions of health.

Before devoting himself to Torah and Jewish studies, he was an award-winning competitive ballroom dancer and an accomplished impressionist oil painter. Today, he lives in Los Angeles with his wife, three daughters, and a female dog—happily outnumbered five to one.
