About
Hokuto Morita is an Assistant Professor of Neurology in the Division of Movement Disorders. He completed a movement disorders fellowship at the University of Florida where he received training in the treatment of Tourette Syndrome and tic disorders under Dr. Irene Malaty. His movement disorders training made him realize that there is a significant lack of resources for Tourette’s care, motivating him to join the ºÚÁÏÍø Center for Tourette’s Syndrome and Tic Disorders.
I have a deep interest in movement disorders borne out of many years of treating movement disorders patients and also my own personal experiences as a movement disorder patient. My experiences have shown me that no single approach works for all patients. My approach to patient care is the inclusion of the patient in the decision-making process and tailoring treatment to meet a patient’s goals. We use a team-based approach to provide the information that helps the patient in making decisions about their own health, doing our best to honor their wishes with compassion and respect.
