The Clinical Program for Cerebrovascular Disorders
About the ProgramCo-Directors
The Clinical Program for Cerebrovascular Disorders at Mount Sinai provides expertise in the evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation of patients with cerebrovascular diseases. Complementing the highly experienced team of medical experts are state-of-the-art facilities for surgical and endovascular treatment of cerebrovascular pathologies, a specialized Neurointensive Care Unit, and a brand new inpatient stroke unit. Patients can be assured of the most advanced approaches to the treatment of stroke. The staff attends weekly conferences and lectures and also conducts clinical and laboratory research in order to keep abreast of the latest developments. Clinical and laboratory research as well as educational opportunities ensure the most advanced approaches to the treatment of stroke, as does the staff's availability for lectures and weekly conferences. As part of our commitment to excellence in patient care, the Program's physicians are available at all times for emergency consultation with referring physicians. The Program will also facilitate transfer and admission to Mount Sinai and make every effort to ensure a smooth transition. Outpatient evaluations are also arranged immediately. In each of these endeavors we communicate directly with the referring physicians to ensure continuity of care after the patient's discharge and return to his or her community and personal physician.
