5 Best Neurologists in Toronto (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Elara Kestrel
By Elara Kestrel, Health and Medical Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

Finding a neurologist in Toronto often starts with a referral, a hospital department, or a long wait list rather than a simple search. Danforth Neurology alone has a 4.8 rating across 39 Google reviews, and the wait time listed on its own site currently runs around four months, so the real question for most people isn't who has the best rating, it's who can actually see you and for what.

Short answer: Among the neurology-related listings on this page, Danforth Neurology and Vagus Clinic hold the highest ratings, both around 4.8 to 4.9, while Dr. Marjan Dolatshahi is rated 4.6 across 62 reviews for neurologist-specific care including epilepsy management. Mount Sinai Hospital and St. Michael's Hospital are large hospital systems with broader review bases (over 900 reviews each) that reflect the full hospital experience, not neurology care specifically. This is general information, not medical advice; talk to your doctor or specialist about your own care.

Mount Sinai Hospital logo
#1 Overall🕑 Open 7 days

Mount Sinai Hospital

3.8936 Google reviews

Mount Sinai Hospital is a large academic hospital in downtown Toronto affiliated with Sinai Health, offering a wide range of hospital departments and specialty clinics. Neurology-related care here is delivered through the hospital's broader specialty and emergency departments rather than a single standalone neurology practice, and access typically goes through a referral or the emergency department rather than a direct booking.

What people praise

  • Reviewers describe attentive, thorough care across several departments, including obstetrics and emergency
  • Multiple reviewers name specific physicians and nurses who went beyond expectations
  • A wide range of specialists and services under one roof

Worth knowing

  • The available reviews reflect the hospital broadly, including the emergency department, not neurology specifically
  • As with most hospitals, wait times and department-by-department experience can vary

Our take: This is a major hospital system, not a dedicated neurology practice, so its rating and reviews reflect the full range of hospital departments. If you need neurology care here, expect to be routed through a referral rather than a direct booking.

St. Michael's Hospital, part of Unity Health Toronto, is a downtown academic hospital and university teaching site offering a broad range of departments, including neurology-related specialty clinics accessed through referral.

What people praise

  • Some reviewers describe compassionate, thorough surgical and inpatient care
  • A wide range of specialty departments available under one hospital
  • Reviewers note the diabetes clinic specifically as a strong point

Worth knowing

  • Several reviewers report long emergency department wait times and inconsistent staff interactions

Our take: Its rating is the lowest on this list and driven mostly by emergency department and general hospital experiences rather than neurology care. It has the largest review base here by volume, reflecting how many people pass through a hospital of this size.

Vagus Clinic logo
#3↩ Responds to reviews

Vagus Clinic

4.948 Google reviews

Vagus Clinic, on Queens Quay W, is a functional medicine and chiropractic clinic, not a neurology practice. Its team includes a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioners who describe working with patients on nervous-system-related symptoms alongside general wellness and sports medicine. It is included here because it surfaces in neurology-adjacent searches, but it does not offer diagnostic or treatment services equivalent to a licensed neurologist.

What people praise

  • Reviewers describe attentive, unhurried appointments
  • Practitioners are described as clear communicators who explain their approach
  • High rating across a growing review base

Worth knowing

  • This is not a neurology practice and should not be used as a substitute for seeing a licensed neurologist
  • Smaller, newer review base than the hospital systems on this list

Our take: This is a functional medicine and chiropractic clinic, not a neurologist. If you have a diagnosed neurological condition or need a neurology diagnosis, see a licensed neurologist rather than relying on this listing alone.

Our take: A neurologist with a strong, focused review base specifically on epilepsy and general neurology care. One review is a useful reminder to confirm a neurologist's specific sub-specialty before a long wait for a first appointment.

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the practice’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many people have rated them, ranked against other neurology-related listings in Toronto. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a rating from dozens of reviews carries less weight than one from hundreds. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does neurology care cost in Toronto? (2026)

Neurology consultations at hospitals and OHIP-registered clinics in Ontario are generally covered for Ontario health card holders through OHIP, though some assessments, such as executive or third-party medical evaluations, are not covered and are billed separately. Clinics outside the OHIP system, or services like functional medicine consultations, are typically billed privately. Always confirm coverage and any out-of-pocket cost directly with the clinic before your appointment.

Serving all of Toronto

The listings above span downtown Toronto, North York and the Danforth area, with the hospital systems drawing patients from across the Greater Toronto Area. Searching for a neurologist near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and directions so you can see the location and reach out for details.

What to ask before your first neurology appointment

  • Do I need a referral from my family doctor, and is this practice accepting new patients?
  • Is this consultation covered by OHIP, or will there be a private fee?
  • What is the current wait time for a new patient appointment?
  • Does this practice or hospital handle my specific condition, or would I be referred elsewhere?
  • What should I bring to my first appointment, such as prior test results or imaging?
  • How will follow-up care and prescription management work after the first visit?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these neurology listings?

We started from every neurology-related listing in Toronto with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Do I need a referral to see a neurologist in Toronto?

In most cases, yes. Neurologists in Ontario typically require a referral from a family doctor or another physician. Contact the specific practice to confirm their intake process.

Is this page medical advice?

No. This page summarizes public information and reviews to help you compare options. It is not medical advice and does not replace a consultation with a qualified doctor about your own diagnosis or treatment.

The bottom line

For a diagnosed neurological condition, Danforth Neurology and Dr. Marjan Dolatshahi are the two dedicated neurology practices on this list with the strongest reviewer feedback, though both carry long wait times. Mount Sinai and St. Michael’s are hospital systems best reached through a referral or emergency care rather than a direct neurology booking, and Vagus Clinic is a separate functional medicine and chiropractic practice, not a substitute for a neurologist.
