Before you enter Patient Education

Education only—not medical care

NY Neurovascular provides general education. It is not a doctor, clinical visit, diagnosis, treatment plan, second opinion, or emergency service. Nothing here is patient-specific medical advice.

This website is not monitored for emergencies. If you think you or someone else may be having a stroke or another emergency, call 911 in the United States—or your local emergency number elsewhere—now. Do not wait for information from this website.

Do not send disease questions, symptoms, diagnoses, medical records, clinical images, names, or any patient information through this website. The public education section does not collect personal medical information.
