During his last year of schooling, he authored a book entitled, The Beautiful Mind, Use it or Lose it, which details memory formation and how to make the best use of our brains. At that point, it was clear to him that he wanted to continue his medical career, learning more about the physiology and pathology of the human nervous system. In his last year of medical school, Dr. Abujubara did an elective rotation at the Baylor College of Medicine, TX. Following medical school, he completed residency in Internal Medicine and Neurology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and received extensive training in Neurophysiology (EEG, NCSs and EMGs). He was named ‘Best Resident’ by the nursing staff and received the 2009 Jeff Nicholas prize for his dedication towards the care of veterans.
Dr. Abujubara is board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. He is a member of the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Neurology. Dr. AJ has presented his research at the American Academy of Neurology annual meetings, one of which was selected as one of the best abstracts of the year at the 2011 AAN meeting in Honolulu.

Great Doc good listener and got me the assistance I needed.
More than 1 year agoInitials hiddenVideo visit
Dr didn’t seem to care, visit lasted less than 2 minutes didn’t care to listen to me. Unclear communication. Prescriptions didn’t get sent promptly, didn’t understand much of what the doctor said., he rushed in and out like I didn’t matter it was a horrible experience
March 17, 2026Ky L.Verified patient
I waited for over a half hour and would’ve been longer if I had not gone up to the desk then they realize they probably overlooked me. I saw the doctor maybe for three minutes he said I need some test and left. I received no information regarding the anatomy of what he thought might be caught him the problem. He just said you need some test to determine whether it is a hand or a spinal problem.

Very good doctor
January 30, 2025Liubov D.Verified patient
Doctor addressed all my issues and prescribed proper recovery plan. The only thing I didn’t like is that after initial new patient appointment I will see not the doctor but his nurse practitioner or PA. I prefer to see the same doctor for all my visits.

Very successful! Was dead on, cleared out a lot of thoughts, roaming my mind.
I’ve had these thoughts for a while and he was able to calm me in a few minutes. Rah, rah good cleared!
November 28, 2024Susan B.Verified patient
It was ok. The front desk didn’t seem to know exactly what information I had filled out on Zocdoc but it may just have been the one individual that struggled with that as opposed to the whole office being inept
November 7, 2024Kenneth K.Verified patient
Great
October 20, 2024Cynthia R.Verified patient
Doctor immediately diagnosed me after five doctors could not figure out the problem. He very likely saved my life and he was attentive and clear.

All good, no complaints.

August 28, 2024Ryleigh R.Verified patient
The office staff was so supportive and friendly, and I am very grateful for their efforts to make me seen in a rush time frame! I am very grateful for the experience
June 13, 2024Kathryn J.Verified patient
The office visit was fine but agreed that it wasn't a good fit. I probably will no t see this doctor again, He feels I should
May 31, 2024Elrena E.Verified patient
I found all the paperwork online & completed it. It appears the expectation is most patients don’t go to the website to retrieve the paperwork to complete before going in. I had a reminder appointment voicemail that said come in 30-40 mins ahead of time to complete paperwork. I completed it but still came in early. I was told they’d get me in early if they could. They could not. I wasn’t seen until 20 mins after my appointment time. The nurse who took me to the room & started to get my history ended up leaving mid-history because the doctor needed her in another room. Dr comes in, I finish giving hx. He tells me what I already know, makes a recommendation for a medication, EEG, & then shifts back to this most likely being an ENT issue. “Any questions?” Here’s the paper to check out & make your appointments.
I’m not feeling it for this office. I came in open minded but left feeling like I already had the answers. & that I wasted his time. I hope someone else has a better experience
May 2, 2024Tanisha H.Verified patient
I was very happy and grateful for my appointment. I’ve been struggling to find an neurologist in Arizona for 7 months since I recently moved, and I’m grateful for the continued care and willingness to help me with my migraines.
