Stroke/Vascular Neurology
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the U.S. and the world. While prevention is clearly the priority, many who suffer strokes are left with long-term complications including spasticity, weakness, imbalance, communication impairment and mood disorders. Immediate treatment of stroke inevitably occurs in the hospital setting. Our goal is to keep our patients from ever experiencing a stroke in the first place. For those who have already suffered a stroke we intend to help them identify and reduce their risks for recurrent stroke while helping them optimize longterm recovery through a multidisciplinary approach.
Peripheral Neuropathy
Neuropathy can affect both motor and sensory nerves with Guillain-Barre Syndrome/CIDP/Small-fiber Neuropathy/CMT. Symptoms can range from severe weakness to sensory loss with complex symptoms running the spectrum. In the simplest terms, nerves are the most sophisticated wires in the natural world. Similar to any wire found in our homes, nerves are made up of an inner wire (axon) encased in an insulated covering (myelin). Damage to nerves can occur to either, or both, parts of the nerve. While diabetes is the most common cause of neuropathy in the U.S. other common causes are inflammatory/autoimmune, genetic, toxic and metabolic. Identifying the cause of neuropathy is critical to recovery and symptom management.
Migraine/Headache/Facial Pain
While migraine and tension headaches are the most common presentations of cephalgia, or simply, head pain there are a host of other kinds of head and facial pain with a number of different causes. While many headache disorders such as migraine are considered primary there are other headache disorders which are secondary to structural causes intracranially and extracranially. A careful history is critical to establishing the right diagnosis and setting the course for improvement. Identifying risk factors and approaching headache management from an integrative approach utilizing the best of traditional and holistic approaches can be effective in managing complicated headache syndromes.
Seizure Disorders/Epilepsy
Few diagnoses can be more disruptive and alarming than a new onset seizure. Once structural causes for new onset seizures have been evaluated in the acute setting, management of seizures is maintained in the outpatient setting. The goal of seizure control is to maximize seizure control while minimizing adverse effects and medication interactions between anti-seizure medications and other medications and supplements. Seizure management is a collaborative decision in which we incorporate our patients’ preferences while weighing the risks and benefits of each reasonable anti-seizure medication for the kind of seizure a patient may be experiencing.
Memory Disorders (Dementia)/Cognitive Neurology
Loss of memory is among the most concerning symptoms patients and their families experience. The implications of a progressive memory disorders are significant. Not all causes of memory loss, however, are progressive and dementia is not always the final diagnosis. Careful history and appropriated diagnostic testing often including neuropsychological testing are critical in establishing the correct diagnosis. If a diagnosis of dementia is made patients and their families often need help navigating the challenges that the diagnosis presents. Direct access to your neurologist can help minimize delays in arriving at the proper diagnosis and engaging all reasonable treatment options.

Parkinson's Disease/Movement Disorders

Parkinson's Disease/Movement Disorders
The onset of any involuntary movement over which a patient has little voluntary control can be alarming to say the least. As with most neurological symptoms, characterization of symptoms is critical and can only be truly accomplished by obtaining a detailed history. Not all movement disorders are due to a neurodegenerative process. The spectrum includes benign, or familial, conditions and drug- or toxin-induced movement disorders. Proper diagnosis can minimize unnecessary use of medications. There are a number or traditional and integrative treatments which can be used alone or in combination to optimize not only symptom management, but potentially disease progression. The treatment of movement disorders traditionally highlights the “art” of medicine and requires collaboration between the patient and provider.
Benefit of Self Pay Model
Why pay out-of-pocket to see a doctor?
Outside the bastion of the insurance model, doctors are employed by their patients. The collaboration between patient and doctor which was long ago sacrificed on the alter of the insurance industry is the cornerstone of the direct pay model. Patients have been groomed for years to sit and listen passively waiting for their doctors to tell them what to do. In the direct pay model patients are encouraged to bring questions, take notes and ask why decisions are being made.
Why pay out-of-pocket to see a doctor?
The current model of “healthcare” in the U.S. is broken beyond repair. Providers and patients alike are frustrated beyond words. Insurance companies set the parameters by which all healthcare facilities and providers must operate. It’s a very simple directive, If facilities and providers do not adhere to the rules set forth by insurance companies they don’t get paid for the services they provide. I’ve not-so-jokingly told my patients for years, “I’m just here to make suggestions, your insurance company will tell you what you can do.” Patients wait for months to see an overbooked physician who is racing against the clock to keep up with a clinic full of patients and has little time to devote to taking a detailed history. The most altruistic of doctors will eventually break under the weight of endless insurance metrics that do nothing but detract from the patient encounter. Patient’s leave the office wondering why they waited so long to see someone whose decision about their care was made before they entered the room. Trust in providers has been shattered because, in a very practical sense, doctors have become direct extensions of the insurance companies that reimburse their employers for their services.
Why pay out-of-pocket to see a doctor?
Access to doctors in the direct pay model is unmatched. You will be able to directly communicate with your doctor without the layers of administrative insulation that isolate providers from patients in the insurance model. Your preferences regarding the manner in which you want to manage your own health will be honored in decision making. You will have much more time to discuss what is important to you with your doctor during your visits because your doctor is not trying to balance his or her effort with the billing code that fits with the time spent on the problem discussed.
Why pay out-of-pocket to see a doctor?
Most importantly, the trust you have in your doctor that has been fractured for so long in corporate medicine will be restored.
You will be free to ask questions.
And your doctor will listen to you.
This is the new paradigm in which we restore “health” in care.
It’s time to think differently.
It’s time to think clearly.
It’s time to think well.
