A neurointensivist cares for patients with severe neurological conditions requiring intensive care, such as a severe stroke or brain injury. Patients don't usually choose this specialist directly — they step in when someone is hospitalized in critical condition from a neurological cause.

A neurointensivist is a physician specialized in caring for patients with severe, life-threatening brain or nervous system conditions, generally within the Intensive Care Unit.
They combine training in neurology and critical care to treat both the neurological cause and the patient's vital functions.
As with other critical care specialties, you don't typically schedule an appointment with a neurointensivist — they care for you or a family member when hospitalized with a severe neurological emergency.
The team keeps the family informed about the patient's neurological status and treatment decisions at each stage.
If you have a family member in this situation, our team can explain visiting hours and how to stay in touch, including coordinating with family members abroad.
