Dr. Sarah Ying received her B.A. from Harvard-Radcliffe College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and her M.D. from The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland. Following internship training at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, she completed residency training in Neurology at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. She pursued additional training with Dr. Robert Baloh and Dr. Arthur Toga at the University of California, Los Angeles, then returned to Johns Hopkins for a clinical and research fellowship in neuro-otology and neurophthalmology with Dr. David Zee.

Now an Assistant Professor of Neurology with a secondary appointment in Ophthalmology, Dr. Ying specializes in dizziness, imbalance (including ataxia), and eye movement abnormalities. Her research focuses on neurodegenerative syndromes, particularly hereditary ataxia syndromes, and how specialized neuroimaging techniques can elucidate systems-level control of eye movements, balance, and cognition. As a member of the Image Analysis and Communications Lab, she is also involved in the development of image processing techniques for automated identification of cerebellar and brainstem structures using multi-modality magnetic resonance imaging, including diffusion tensor imaging.

Currently, Dr. Ying is not seeing patients.
