“Every patient deserves a holistic, personalized approach to their care. I aspire to empower my patients with knowledge and understanding of their condition so they can advocate for what they believe can help improve the quality of their lives. I believe informed and shared decision-making is the best way to attain healthy living.”

Dr. Abou Zeki is a board-certified neurologist. Her subspecialties include multiple sclerosis (MS), neuroinflammatory disorders such as neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disorder (MOGAD) and disorders secondary to systemic conditions, such as sarcoidosis, lupus and Sjogren’s syndrome.

She became motivated to study neurology when her mother was diagnosed with unexplained symptoms that turned out to be MS. The experience inspired her to become an advocate for each patient under her care.

Dr. Abou Zeki is the director of the Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroinflammation Program at Atrium Health’s Neurosciences Institute. She received her medical degree at the University of Balamand in Lebanon. She completed residency and a neuroimmunology fellowship at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center.

In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her daughter, dancing, horseback riding, reading about neuroscience and writing about the current state of the medical system.
