New patients
Depending on the treatment you require for your condition, you may need to meet with more than one physician in the Cerebrovascular Disease and Stroke Program.
Your primary care physician (PCP) can make a referral to the appropriate section by contacting the Physician Connection Center.
Please refer to your appointment letter for details on where you need to go for your appointment. In general, you will report to Level 3C for neurology and neurosurgery-type appointments, and report to Level 3L for radiology-type appointments.
Returning patients
If you are a current patient, you may use myDH to communicate securely with your providers, request or change appointments, review your medical record, and more.

Referring PFO patients
A strong collaboration between Interventional Cardiology and Neurology has allowed us to be involved in patent foramen ovale (PFO) clinical trials for several years.
Patients referred for possible PFO closure are evaluated by both services, assuring that patients undergo a comprehensive evaluation and the most appropriate treatment decisions can be made. To refer a patient, please call the Stroke Referrals number.
