Bio

Victoria Tanoury is a board-certified Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner and certified Movement Disorders Advanced Practice Provider specializing in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of Parkinson’s Disease, essential tremor, dystonia, and other movement disorders. She has extensive experience in deep brain stimulation (DBS) programming and management for these conditions.

Victoria earned her bachelor’s degree in nursing from the University of Washington and spent eight years specializing in neurology and neurosurgery before furthering her education. In 2014, she joined the Stanford Movement Disorders team as the lead nurse coordinator, where she oversaw the DBS review board and coordinated the multidisciplinary Huntington’s Disease and ataxia clinic, which received designation as a Huntington Disease Society of America Center of Excellence. In addition, she co-led a local ataxia support group recognized by the National Ataxia Foundation.

While completing her master’s degree at UCSF, Victoria participated in a dual program that combined the Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner curriculum with coursework in occupational and environmental health studies. This experience allowed her to explore environmental factors affecting neurological conditions and observe workplace exposures linked to neurological symptoms. Upon finishing her nurse practitioner program, she rejoined the Stanford Movement Disorders team, where she is actively involved in the DBS program, performing initial evaluations, assisting with patient selection, and programming patients following their surgery.
