Vascular neurologist availability

Vascular neurology is a new medical subspecialty that provides focused expertise for stroke care and other conditions. The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology defines this new physician role as one that evaluates and treats persons with vascular diseases of the nervous system.

Physicians who are board certified vascular neurologists have extensive training in treating vascular events from ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, spinal cord ischemia, and spinal cord hemorrhage.

St. Mary's Hospital Medical Center has a board certified vascular neurologist on staff or available for consultation.
