Neurologist
+1 415 353-2311
Dr. San Luciano is a neurologist specializing in movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, tremor, and myoclonus in both children and adults. She focuses on genetic risk factors, biomarkers, and surgical treatments like deep brain stimulation. Her research explores outcomes and predictors of success in neuromodulation therapies, particularly for dystonia. Trained in Spain and the U.S., she is active in several major neurology and movement disorder organizations.
