Autumn Ivy, MD, PhD, is a board-certified UCI Health pediatric neurologist, who specializes in the treatment of general neurological conditions in children, with a specific interest in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Ivy earned her medical degree and doctoral degrees at UCI School of Medicine's Physician-Scientist Training Program. She completed a residency in pediatrics and fellowship in child neurology at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford in Palo Alto, Calif.

Ivy’s research involves the study of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms engaged by early-life exercise, and whether these mechanisms can be targeted for the treatment of neurocognitive disorders in children. She has also been a speaker at numerous national conferences.

Ivy sees patients at The Center for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Santa Ana and UCI Medical Center in Orange.
