Dr. Herrington completed his BS at Stanford University, followed by MD and PhD at Harvard Medical School, residency in Neurology at the joint Mass General Brigham Neurology Residency Program at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital, and a Fellowship in Movement Disorders at Massachusetts General Hospital.

In the Division of Movement Disorders, Dr. Herrington treats patients with Parkinson's disease, tremor, dystonia and other movement disorders, with an additional specialization in patients who are undergoing treatment with deep brain stimulation.

Dr. Herrington's research focuses on the impact of deep brain stimulation on the motor, cognitive and psychiatric manifestations of movement disorders. Using a combination of intraoperative neurophysiology, noninvasive neurophysiology and neuroimaging, Dr. Herrington aims to further our understanding of the role of the human basal ganglia in health and disease and to develop novel approaches to neuromodulation to treat motor and nonmotor symptoms.

  • My husband [redacted] and I have been so impressed and we really sought out to see Dr. Herrington in large part because of the reviews, but they are totally accurate. He's attentive. He doesn't rush you along. He spent a great deal of time with both of us. My husband is his patient. From the initial evaluation appointment to his very first DBS programming, we've been just really overwhelmed, I guess, with the professionalism, the attention to detail, and just the incredible bedside manner. He also is very responsive via the portal as well. Thank you.

  • I recently had the pleasure of meeting with Dr. Todd Herrington (Neurology) and Dr. [redacted] (Neurosurgery) for a Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) evaluation. Both doctors are not only incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, but they are also very humble and demonstrate a sincere care for their patients. They spent a significant amount of time getting to know me, listening patiently, and meticulously reviewing my past PD history. Dr. Herrington provided a very clear breakdown of the potential benefits and risks of DBS, even discussing specific brain targets like the GPi. [redacted] I felt truly heard throughout the entire process. They made sure I had an opportunity to ask questions and ensured all of my concerns were addressed in detail. I highly recommend this team to anyone navigating complex movement disorder decisions.
