The Emory Stroke Center is one of the leading clinics of its kind in the region. But what really makes us unique?

Our Highly Specialized Team
Our team is highly specialized, with each doctor having a different, stroke-related background. Most importantly, our surgeons, intensivists and radiologists collaborate with nurses and other staff members who are specifically trained in stroke care, giving you a team of experts attuned to your special needs.

Collaborative, Multidisciplinary Organization
Stroke is a multifactorial condition, so it takes a team of doctors who are trained in specific disciplines (or areas) of stroke care. Our physicians and staff collaborate at every stage of treatment for optimized efficiency and accuracy. This enables us to provide the individualized care you need from referral and diagnosis to treatment and recovery.

Exceptional Experience
The exceptional care we provide also stems from experience. Whereas some hospitals perform specialized procedures on a monthly or yearly basis, as a high-volume center, Emory Stroke Center physicians perform them daily. Physicians and staff bring an acute knowledge and skill to their practice, potentially benefiting patients with more accurate diagnoses and successful outcomes.

Advanced Technology and Research
In addition to patient care, the Emory Stroke Center team is also dedicated to research, education, and advancing treatment of cerebrovascular disorders. And as an academic center, Emory is abreast of the constant progression of medicine--so much in fact that it often serves as a model for the use of the latest technologies. For patients, this means access to potentially more effective treatments. For physicians, it means shortening the gap between the bench and the bedside.
