Andrea P. Toomer, MD

About Dr. Toomer

I’m Dr. Andrea Toomer, a New Orleans native and specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation. I graduated from Mount Carmel High School and LSU School of Medicine, then completed my residency in North Carolina before returning home to care for patients in my community.

One of the most rewarding parts of my work is helping patients recover from disabling pain and spinal injuries to regain movement and independence. I’m especially passionate about advancements in spasticity treatment—a condition related to spinal cord injuries, stroke, cerebral palsy, and multiple sclerosis. As a faculty educator for Medtronic’s Neuromodulation division, I train physicians across the country in intrathecal baclofen therapy, and many come to Culicchia Neurological Clinic to learn these techniques firsthand.

I also serve as the Southeast representative on the National Medical Advisory Board for Kindred, the nation’s largest inpatient rehab network.

My specialties include brain injury, spinal cord injury, and spasticity.
