Biography
Jeffrey Dunn, MD serves as the Lily Sarafan Director of Neuroimmunology, Clinical Professor and Chief of Neuroimmunology within the Department of Neurology & Neurological Sciences at Stanford University. He specializes in the diagnosis, treatment and research of immune-mediated diseases of the central nervous system, including Multiple Sclerosis, transverse myelitis, and Neuromyelitis Optica. Dr. Dunn is regarded nationally as among the foundational leaders in his field and is an elected Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology. He is the past Chair of the MS Section of the AAN. As Principal Investigator in more than 30 clinical research trials, Dr. Dunn has helped usher in new and improved immunotherapies for Multiple Sclerosis. He is the architect of Project BIG (see www.projectbig.com), an interdisciplinary research collaborative with Stanford scientists to identify biomarkers and candidate therapeutic targets within the paradigm of precision medicine. These collaborations have yielded such pivotal discoveries as EBV viral molecular mimicry as a driver of MS pathogenesis, a discovery recognized by the American Association for the Advancement of Science as a runner-up Science Breakthrough of the Year in 2022; and a T lymphocyte subtype having a key role in modulating human autoimmunity. Dr. Dunn is a US patent holder for a marker of MS treatment response with co-inventors, and has authored or co-authored more than 50 peer-reviewed manuscripts and abstracts. Dr. Dunn has been recognized for excellence in clinical teaching, as a 12 time winner of the Neurology Clerkship student teaching award, the Lysia Forno Award recipient for excellence in Neurology resident teaching, and by Arthur Bloomfield Awards and the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation. In recognition of his dedication to the educational mission, his name is given to the eponymous Fishers-Dunn Prize, awarded annually to best medical student teaching among active Neurology residents. His formative contributions to medical education were recognized by the inaugural Oscar Salvatierra Award for exceptional service to Stanford medical students awarded by the Stanford University School of Medicine.

fantastic
Great listener, knowledgeable, kind; clearly explains plan
He remains one of the best doctors I know - or have personally had. My own medical training and career have offered many MD encounters, and Dr. Dunn always came through with an A+.
Dr Dunn has helped me by providing the accurate diagnosis. He has provided treatment that has helped. He is kind and compassionate.
Excellent!!
Great patience and patient care.
Thank you for your time Dr. Dunn, thank you for seeing me and reassuring me. I’m on the proper path. I look forward to seeing you in three months!

excellent Doctor
Very easy to talk with by video
Dr. Dunn provided me with all the information I needed to know and answered all the questions I had. We went over treatment plan and discussed the best and safest outcome. Very grateful for this visit.
I think Dr Dunn has my best interests in mind and is very knowledgeable about MS and symptom management.
He provided answers to all our questions. Very helpful
Dr. Dunn is my best/favorite doctor, and sadly I've seen many!
Dr Dunn is amazing
It was an amazing experience...like nothing I've had before
All was excellent, top notch, truly, except one thing: I volunteered to participate in a research study, and the associate I was directed to asked me point blank, publicly (within earshot of many other people), if I have been diagnosed with [enter named health condition here]. I can't imagine that this isn't a HIPPA violation. I keep all health details private because I consider them the single most personal thing in my life, and take great effort to share on my terms what anyone else knows about me. A public question about such things felt like a privacy violation. Beyond that, all was superb, exactly what I have come to know and expect from a top tier institution. Thanks so much!
Having MS is no fun, but I do look forward to my visits with Dr. Dunn. He is empathetic yet direct. I always leave the office with a plan. Who doesn’t love a good plan??!!
Dr. Dunn is an excellent Dr. He comforts me and always makes me feel better after my appointment.
Just appreciate Dr. Dunn.

Excellent Doctor!
Dr. Dunn is an excellent physician. He always makes me feel like he really cares, listens to everything I have to say, addresses all my concerns and does not make me feel rushed.
I feel respected & think I am getting the best care available. JED listens to my questions, gives me options with my health & educates me continually.
He also answers my questions through the portal if it’s appropriate. Often a different staff member can answer a question but sometimes his expertise is needed & he seems to know when his input is best. I really appreciate that with him.
Dr. Dunn is always polite and easy to talk to. I'm happy to have him as my health partner.
Very thorough and caring
Dr Dunn is an amazing Doctor. Always attentive, kind, and helpful. Best bedside manner of any Dr I've ever seen.
JEFFREY DUNN IS TERRIFIC. A CARING, COMPASSIONATE PHYSICIAN WHO LISTENS TO HIS PATIENT'S CONCERNS AND OPINIONS.
Dr. Dunn has been with me from the beginning of my journey. He is always reassuring and positive with his interactions and takes the time to understand the whole person not just a specific symptom or issue. Being diagnosed with MS is a scary thing for anyone and I could not imagine dealing with that without Dr Dunn and the whole staff of the clinic. His empathy and reassurance helped me and my family develop a plan that has been positive. In many ways he has become part of our extended family as a result. Thank you is not strong enough.
The best doctor I've ever had. Appreciate his extensive knowledge, his participation in and knowledge of cutting edge studies, his attention to appropriate referrals and desire to improve my life with solutions. His demeanor is very professional and at the same time, personable and warm. Each time we meet I learn something new about MS research.
Dr Dunn is very easy to understand, feel confident with his advice.
Visits with Dr. Dunn are always informative. He takes the time to answer my questions in a clear and concise manner. I always leave feeling more comfortable with the information he provides.
Dr Dunn is an excellent, caring, and friendly Dr!! A genuine asset to Stanford!! I am fortunate to have him as my Doctor!!

Dr. Dunn is a very compassionate and caring doctor. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone suffering with multiple sclerosis.
He is always well informed, he knows about me and what is happening with my disease prior to our appointments, he remembers my family and things we are doing.
I always feel safe and well cared for by him. When my first doctor retired I did not think I would ever find someone to replace him. Dr. Dunn has done that for me. He is a special human being.
Excellent doctor.
