Enrique Leira. Enrique Leira, MD, MS, is a neurologist at UI Health Care. Dr. Leira provides neurology services at Medical Center University. "A stroke is a time-dependent emergency. That means the sooner the treatment, the better the outcome is going to be. I think it is unacceptable that the outcome of a patient who had a stroke depends on where they live or where they happen to be when the stroke occurs."
