Frequently Asked Questions

What does a Vascular Neurology & Stroke neurologist do?

A Vascular Neurology & Stroke neurologist is a Neurology physician with focused training in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of stroke and other cerebrovascular conditions. After completing Neurology residency, they pursue additional fellowship training so they can manage cases that fall outside what a general neurologist typically handles day to day.

What conditions does a Vascular Neurology & Stroke neurologist treat?

A Vascular Neurology & Stroke neurologist commonly treats ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), carotid artery disease, cerebral aneurysms, and vascular dementia. Many also see closely related conditions within Neurology, particularly when a case is complex, atypical, or has not responded to first-line care from a general neurologist.

When should I see a Vascular Neurology & Stroke neurologist?

Consider seeing a Vascular Neurology & Stroke neurologist when you have had a stroke or TIA, or you have risk factors that warrant focused stroke prevention, when a primary care clinician or general neurologist suggests a focused evaluation, or when you want a second opinion from a physician whose practice is concentrated on this exact area. Patients often reach a Vascular Neurology & Stroke neurologist through referral, but you can also seek one directly.

How is a Vascular Neurology & Stroke neurologist different from a general neurologist?

Both are board-eligible neurologists, but a Vascular Neurology & Stroke neurologist has additional fellowship training and a practice that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of stroke and other cerebrovascular conditions. General neurologists treat a broad range of Neurology concerns; Vascular Neurology & Stroke neurologists concentrate on the harder or more specific cases within that range, and tend to see a higher volume of patients with ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), carotid artery disease, cerebral aneurysms, and vascular dementia.
