Dr Marko Bogdanovic is an established consultant neurologist based in the Thames valley, and a leading specialist in the field of movement disorders. Since 2010 has been chief neurologist at the deep brain stimulation unit at the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford which was established by Professor Tipu Aziz, a pioneer in the field of neuromodulation. In 2024 he became clinical lead for neurology at the Royal Berkshire hospital in Reading.

Dr Bogdanovic sees patients with all general neurological problems such as headache, stroke and TIA, seizures, neuromuscular weakness, tingling and numbness, demyelination, loss of balance and changes in cognition. He is able to perform nerve conduction studies and EMG for the investigation of common disorders of the peripheral nervous system such as nerve entrapment and peripheral neuropathy.

His particular area of interest is the diagnosis and management of movement disorders such as tremor, dystonia, tics and other involuntary movements. He is expert in the medical management of all stages of Parkinson’s disease, including the complex phase when infusion therapies or neurosurgery may be indicated. As a key member of the functional neurosurgery multidisciplinary team in Oxford, he has been closely involved with the selection, peri-operative and post-operative management of patients with implanted neurostimulators. He is fully abreast of the latest developments in neurostimulator technology, in what is a rapidly evolving field. He also runs a regular botulinum toxin injection clinic for patients with movement disorders.

Dr Bogdanovic graduated in medicine from the university of Manchester in 1991 and undertook early postgraduate training in London. He received his training in neurology at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square and at the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford under the tutelage of many eminent neurologists. Interspersed with his medical training, he obtained undergraduate (UCL) and postgraduate degrees (Merton College, Oxford) in philosophy, specialising in the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of science. He obtained his MD by research in the field of functional magnetic resonance imaging at the FMRIB centre at the University of Oxford in 2008.

In addition to an enduring interest in analytic philosophy, he enjoys mountain biking and playing English folk fiddle.
