Why Bay Area patients use telehealth for neurology
Most of a neurological evaluation is history and conversation, which travels perfectly well over video. What it saves is the part Bay Area patients find hardest to spare: a half-day round trip and a wait measured in months. Dr. Ntranos is licensed throughout California, so a visit from San Francisco works exactly as it does from the Los Angeles office, with imaging and labs arranged near you. When a problem genuinely needs hands-on examination or in-office testing, we say so and arrange it.
Care paths
Where should you start?
General neurology or multiple sclerosis: both are seen here, same doctor, same hour.
General Neurology
Neurological evaluation
Start with a general neurological evaluation. Headaches and migraine, numbness and neuropathy, dizziness, memory and brain fog, dysautonomia, sleep problems, or a scan result nobody has explained. A full hour to sort it out.
Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis
A suspicious MRI, white matter spots, a new diagnosis, a relapse, or a therapy that needs a second look. Fellowship-trained MS care without the months-long wait.
