Thalmus Stroke

[Fish2]

My wife had a Thalmus stroke a few months ago and we are looking for a second opinion. Does anyone know a Neurologist in Manhattan, New Jersey or Philadelphia that specializes in Thalmus strokes?...Thank you

Where r u now, which state, please read my bio by tapping on my pic. I have been in NJ, Ny and Philly. Lastly in Philly at Jefferson and got good neurocare

We live in Southern NJ but are willing to travel to Manhattan or Philadelphia, where ever we can get the best care for a Thalamus Stroke. Any help would be appreciated...Thanks

I did not have this type of stroke but an MCA area stroke which is different, but i do think i got very good, competent care at Jefferson, I am trying to remember the neurologists name for you, i will have to ask my husband. I shall return... while waiting put thalamus in the search box here and see what comes up!

Any new appointments made?

[Fish2 in reply to Wittycjt]

Unfortunately she is not accepting any new patients, we do have an appointment with a neurologist in northern NJ.

Thank you for the help...

Thank you...

[Wittycjt in reply to Fish2]

Please let me know if they find something different or how it goes-thinking of her🙏🏼

[Fish2 in reply to Wittycjt]

Thank you, I will. Nothing different from the NJ doctor. We are now going to set up an appointment with Columbia Presbyterian stroke center in Manhattan.

[Wittycjt in reply to Fish2]

So how did it turn out?

[Fish2 in reply to Wittycjt]

We had a one hour telemed video call with her new doctor at Columbia Presbyterian stroke center. We were very happy with how thorough they were. He wants her to go for an MRA, which is challenging with the pandemic, but we will get it done and depending on the results he may change or add some medications. He has added one medication that he said may help with the symptoms "Neurontin". We just got it and have not tried it yet. Thanks for asking...

My son was at Columbia years ago, not for neuro but an irregular heart rhythm from WPW the arrythmia that causes kids to drop dead on the playing field. The treatment was great. Hopefully you are now in good hands🙏🏼 where you can be comfortable☺️.again best wishes.. hsve wonderful holidays and be well

[Wittycjt in reply to Fish2]

So how is her progress? Im hoping for some good news🙏🏻

[Fish2]

She is feeling better but we will be going for more tests once we get our COVID Vaccinations. Thank you for asking...
