Serving All of California
From San Diego to San Francisco, Sacramento to the Central Valley — expert neurology care is one click away.
Stop Waiting. Start Healing. California Telehealth Neurology.
When neurological symptoms appear, the worst part isn't the symptom itself — it's the uncertainty. The endless Google searches at 2 AM. The months-long wait for a specialist appointment. The fear of what it might mean.
At Achilles Neurology Clinic, we've eliminated the wait. Our telehealth neurology service connects California patients with a board-certified neurologist — often within 24-48 hours. No traffic. No waiting rooms. No insurance referral games. Just expert answers when you need them most.
The California Advantage
Our telehealth services are available to patients anywhere in California — from the beaches of San Diego to the Bay Area, from Los Angeles to the Central Valley. One state, one neurologist, one seamless care experience.
Is Telehealth Neurology Right for You?
You might benefit from a virtual neurology consultation if you're experiencing:
Headaches or migraines — especially if they've changed in pattern, frequency, or intensity
Numbness, tingling, or weakness — in hands, feet, face, or anywhere else
Cognitive symptoms — memory problems, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, forgetting words, or mental cloudiness
Dizziness or vertigo — room spinning, balance issues, or lightheadedness
Tremors or movement issues — shaking, coordination problems, or unusual movements
Multiple sclerosis symptoms — new or worsening MS-related concerns
Seizures or epilepsy — management, medication adjustments, or new concerns
Neuropathy or nerve pain — burning, shooting pain, or altered sensation
Chronic fatigue syndrome — persistent fatigue despite adequate rest
Sleep disorders — neurological causes of sleep disruption including restless legs syndrome
Tired of Being Dismissed?
If you've been told "just wait and see" or "it's probably stress" — you deserve better. Our comprehensive telehealth evaluation takes your symptoms seriously.
What Makes Our Telehealth Neurology Different?
You See the Doctor, Not a Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner
Every telehealth visit is with Dr. Achillefs Ntranos MD — a board-certified neurologist with advanced fellowship training. No physician assistants. No nurse practitioners. No AI chatbots pretending to diagnose you. Just an actual neurologist who listens.
Appointments When You Need Them
Traditional neurology practices quote 8-12 week wait times. We offer same-day and next-day virtual appointments for most California patients. When symptoms worry you, waiting months for answers isn't acceptable.
More Time, Better Care
Insurance-driven practices rush you through 10-minute appointments. Our telehealth consultations run 60 minutes for new patients — enough time to understand your complete history, perform a thorough virtual examination, and develop a real treatment plan.
Statewide California Coverage
Whether you're in San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Fresno, or anywhere in California — expert neurological care is now accessible. No driving. No parking. No taking half a day off work.
How Telehealth Neurology Works
Before Your Appointment
- Book online at your convenience (or call us at 310-774-7025)
- Complete our pre-visit questionnaire online — helps us maximize your appointment time
- Gather your medications list and any recent test results
- Find a quiet, well-lit space with good internet connection
- Test your camera and microphone before your scheduled time
During Your Virtual Consultation
Your telehealth appointment is comprehensive and unhurried:
- Complete History Review — We discuss your symptoms, their progression, and your concerns
- Medical Background — Past conditions, family history, and medications that might be relevant
- Virtual Neurological Exam — Dr. Ntranos uses validated techniques from the American Academy of Neurology to guide you through the telehealth assessment of cranial nerves, motor function, coordination, sensation, walking and more
- Discussion of Findings — Clear explanation of what your examination reveals
- Personalized Plan — Treatment recommendations, testing needs, and next steps
After Your Appointment
- Prescriptions sent electronically to your California pharmacy of choice
- Test orders (MRI, bloodwork, etc.) placed at facilities convenient to you
- Follow-up instructions and educational materials via patient portal
- Direct messaging access for questions that arise between visits
- Superbill provided for PPO insurance reimbursement
When In-Person Care Makes Sense
While telehealth effectively manages most neurological conditions, some situations require hands-on evaluation:
- Complex symptoms needing detailed in-person neurological examination
- Procedures like EMG/nerve conduction studies or lumbar puncture
- Skin biopsy for small fiber neuropathy diagnosis
- Cases where virtual assessment is inconclusive
If an in-person visit is needed, we'll coordinate your care at our Beverly Hills office or recommend a qualified provider closer to you.

Frequently Asked Questions: California Telehealth Neurology
Is telehealth neurology as good as in-person visits?
For many neurological conditions, research shows telehealth is equally effective as in-person evaluation. Dr. Ntranos has extensive training in virtual examination techniques and will recommend an in-person visit if your specific situation requires it.
Can you prescribe medications during a telehealth visit?
Yes. Most medications can be prescribed during your virtual appointment and sent electronically to your preferred California pharmacy. Certain controlled substances may have additional requirements.
What technology do I need?
A smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera, microphone, and stable internet connection. We use a HIPAA-compliant, encrypted platform — we'll send simple instructions before your appointment.
Can you order MRIs or other testing?
Absolutely. If diagnostic testing is needed, we order it at imaging centers and labs convenient to your location in California. Results are reviewed at your follow-up telehealth appointment.
How much does a telehealth consultation cost?
We offer transparent pricing without insurance surprises. Visit our billing page for current rates. We accept credit cards, HSA/FSA, and provide superbills for insurance reimbursement.
I'm not in California — can you see me?
Our physician is licensed in California. If you're located in another state, we unfortunately cannot provide telehealth services due to medical licensing regulations. We'd be happy to recommend resources in your area.
What if I need to be seen in person?
If your condition requires hands-on evaluation, we'll coordinate an in-person visit at our Beverly Hills office or help connect you with appropriate in-person care closer to your location.
