About Dr. Resnick

Dr. Steven Resnick is a board-certified neurologist and vascular neurologist with more than two decades of clinical practice. He serves as Chief of the Division of Neurology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach and is the hospital's Stroke Medical Director. Under his leadership, Mount Sinai became a Comprehensive Stroke Center and a US News top neurology program in the country. He also leads Kovacs and Resnick, P.A., one of the largest private neurology practices in South Florida.

Dr. Resnick completed his internal medicine internship and residency, neurology residency, and fellowship in neuromuscular disease and EMG at Jackson Memorial Hospital and the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. He is board-certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, with subspecialty certification in Vascular Neurology.

He co-authored the textbook Practical Neuroimaging in Stroke with Dr. Alejandro Rabinstein, published by Saunders and Elsevier, used widely by radiologists and neurologists training to read the brain after acute stroke. He is currently writing his second book, The Helicopter Brain, for a general audience, on what happens when the nervous system stays in protect mode too long.

Teaching has always been part of his work. Dr. Resnick has served as an Annual Grand Rounds lecturer at Mount Sinai since 2006 and currently oversees neurology education for an internal medicine residency and two psychiatry residency programs. In 2026 he was appointed to the Board of Governors at Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Dr. Resnick is the founder of The Healthy Mind, an educational platform that brings the same patient-centered approach he uses in the exam room to a public audience through a YouTube channel, a podcast, a newsletter, and his upcoming book.
