Meet Jose C. Rios, M.D., Ph.D.

Neuroradiology Specialist in Parsippany

Dr. Jose C. Rios is Board Certified by the American Board of Radiology. He received his undergraduate training at New York University College of Arts and Science with a B.A. in Biology in 1996. He completed an extended M.D.-Ph.D. program at the New York University School of Medicine in 2004.

 Dr. Rios completed a Transitional Internship at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and a Radiology Residency at Stony Brook University Medical Center in Stony Brook, New York. Dr. Rios then went on to his fellowship training in Neuroradiology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City finishing in 2010.

 Dr. Rios joined the Department of Radiology at Morristown Medical Center in January 2011 and obtained his “Certificate of Additional Qualifications in Neuroradiology” from the American Board of Radiology in 2011.
