Dr. Neil Patel is a neurologist who's passionate about helping people unlock the full potential of their brains. Whether you're an athlete striving for peak performance or someone living with new or persistent neurological symptoms, he's here to guide you on your journey to better brain health.

From family medicine to the final frontier

Growing up surrounded by healthcare professionals in Long Island and New York City, medicine was practically in Dr. Patel's DNA. After completing his neurology training at SUNY Downstate Medical Center and rotations at renowned institutions like Mount Sinai and NYU, he was drawn to the complexities of the brain. "It's a field where you can solve puzzles and get creative with solutions," he says. "The brain is the final frontier of medicine!"

This curiosity led him to pursue a fellowship in Sports Neurology and Pain Medicine at the prestigious Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Los Angeles. Today, he brings that expertise to Neura Health, where he helps patients with a wide range of neurological concerns.

A champion for concussion awareness

Dr. Patel is a fierce advocate for concussion awareness and education. He believes in early intervention and a proactive approach to recovery. "The brain is incredibly resilient," he emphasizes. "With the right support and treatment, we can help you get back to doing the things you love."

Beyond the playing field

Dr. Patel's expertise extends beyond sports-related injuries. He's also passionate about helping people manage migraines and optimize their overall brain health through lifestyle changes, medications, and innovative technologies like neuromodulation. He's learned from his patients that "lifestyle changes can make an incredible difference in neurological health," and he's committed to providing empathetic and supportive care.

Dr. Patel is genuinely invested in his patients' well-being. He finds immense satisfaction in seeing his patients become empowered to take control of their health. "I'm most proud of the grateful and curious patients who are eager to learn," he shares, "and those who were able to then educate their community about neurological health."
