Dr. Miguel Ley Nacher
Consultant Neurology
Dr. Miguel Ley Nacher, MD, MSc, PhD, is a board-certified neurologist and clinical psychologist with specialized expertise in epilepsy. He completed his dual residency in Neurology and Psychiatry at Hospital del Mar in Barcelona, Spain (2009–2013), followed by a clinical fellowship at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Dr. Ley Nacher later pursued advanced fellowship training in epilepsy at a leading comprehensive epilepsy center in the United States, recognized for its excellence in managing epilepsy and related neuropsychiatric conditions.
In addition to epilepsy, Dr. Ley Nacher is an experienced stroke neurologist and a expert in headaches, movement disorders, multiple sclerosis, neuromuscular diseases, dementia, peripheral neuropathies, and neuro-oncology.
He is an active member of several prestigious professional societies, including the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), European Academy of Neurology (EAN), American Epilepsy Society (AES), International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE), and the Emirati League Against Epilepsy (ELAE).
Since 2014, Dr. Ley Nacher has served as a consultant neurologist at the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) of Hospital del Mar, a recognized tertiary stroke and epilepsy referral center in Spain. He continued his professional career at the Cleveland Clinic. In these roles, he has led the epilepsy program across emergencies, inpatient, outpatient, and critical care settings. His technical expertise encompasses long-term video EEG (VEEG) monitoring, epilepsy surgery, intraoperative electrocorticography, stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG), laser interstitial thermal therapy (LiTT), and radiofrequency thermal ablation.
Beyond his clinical work, Dr. Ley Nacher is actively involved in academic research and has authored multiple peer-reviewed publications in the fields of epilepsy and clinical neurophysiology. He is also a professor of Neurology and holds both a Master of Science (MSc) degree and a PhD degree.
Dr. Ley Nacher’s distinguished training, multidisciplinary clinical experience, and dedication to patient-centered neurological care make him a recognized leader in his field and a trusted specialist for patients with complex neurological conditions.
Following his residency, Dr. Miguel pursued further specialization in epilepsy in the United States, where he trained in a renowned comprehensive epilepsy program known for its expertise in epilepsy-related neuropsychiatric disorders.
Since 2014, Dr. Miguel has been a valued consultant at the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) at Hospital Del Mar, where he has played a pivotal role in leading the epilepsy section across various departments including the emergency department, inpatient ward, outpatient clinic, and ICU.
Over the course of his 8-year tenure at the EMU and ICU, Dr. Miguel has gained extensive experience in a wide range of procedures including long-term Video-EEG (VEG), epilepsy surgery, intra-operative corticography, intracranial explorations utilizing the SEE methodology, LiTT, and radio frequency thermal ablation.
