My goal is not only to treat the disease process, but also help patients get access to the best care and help them achieve the best quality of life.”

Amna Sohail, MD Profile Video
I'm Amna Sohail and I'm a neurologist and I sub-specialize in vascular neurology. I see patients with disorders of the nervous system that includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, as well as the disorders of the blood vessels that take blood to and from the structures of the nervous system. I always have been interested in the complexities of the structure and the function of the nervous system. I find unraveling the mysteries of the nervous system and working to achieve quality of life in patients who have neurologic disorders an extremely fulfilling commitment. My patients can expect a strong advocate who's going to work with them and understand their concerns, their fears, their condition, and devise a plan as a team with them with the best available management options that are evidence-based, but also in line with their values.
