A history of innovations
All of the work that Dr. Stefano Pallanti pursues originates from a sincere passion to offer the best therapeutic option for each person’s recovery and from his everlasting aspiration to disentangle complex and difficult cases.
Dr. Pallanti is a "Physician-Neuroscientist" who combines the European tradition of Phenomenology with the “evidence-based” approach of the US scientific medical community.
The Pallanti Method
The Pallanti Method represents a method of Translational Clinical Neuroscience, a systematic approach to health care through the analysis and translation of clinical symptoms into their functional meaning.
The Pallanti Method seeks to reconcile a total respect for the person and the use of cutting-edge techniques and therapies, useful for improving performance and preventing long-term disorders.
