You First Neuro was established by Dr. Frank, a physician with 33 years of experience as an academic neurologist and thought leader in his field. Dr. Frank was a founder of his subspecialties of neurocritical care and vascular neurology (stroke), built two of the most reputable neurocritical care programs in the USA, conducted cutting-edge and field changing research, trained hundreds of medical students and doctors, and mentored colleagues from around the world. However, throughout all these accomplishments, Dr. Frank has always been known for his unique, practical, and compassionate approach to his patients and their families coupled with his openness to collaborate with other healthcare providers to affect the best care for every patient.

Ever since leaving academic medicine as a Professor of Neurology in 2017, Dr. Frank has fully dedicated his time to helping patients with neurological problems and providing exciting new interventions to patients with depression and other mental health disorders including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and ketamine. In this context. he continues to bring a hands-on, caring approach to every patient in his practice, pushing the envelope to help those with neurological and mental health issues.

Mental health patients see Dr. Frank to be considered for some of the newest available treatments, typically in close collaboration with their existing mental health providers. As a careful listener, Dr. Frank strives to understand the lives and suffering of these patients to carefully determine what he may have to offer to help them, appropriately reaching out to present and past providers to be sure that he can develop the most comprehensive view of their problems.

Neurological patients come to see Dr. Frank from near and far for his respected opinion and guidance, often after they have already been evaluated at some of the most reputable medical centers in the country. On a case-to-case basis, Dr. Frank engages other relevant specialists to ensure that all patients receive the attention and depth of thought that their situations require, guiding them through complex problems with a level of thoroughness and compassion that is rare in medicine these days.

Dr. Frank does not work alone. He has a dynamic, skilled, and committed team who work diligently to optimize each patient’s experience through close collaboration and regular communication, they work hard to provide a warm clinical environment and a seamless, personalized patient experience.
