Your first visit

A problem with the brain or nerves can be worrying, especially when the cause is not clear. The first visit is about listening, a careful examination and the right tests.

  1. He listens first

    When it started, how it feels, what makes it better or worse, and what other doctors have said. A family member who has seen the episodes helps a great deal.

  2. A careful examination

    Strength, sensation, reflexes, balance, coordination and memory are checked, then your reports and scans are read one by one.

  3. A clear plan

    The likely cause, which tests are needed if any, and how treatment starts. You can ask questions at every step.

Brain, spine and nerves

Conditions treated

Neurologists diagnose and treat problems of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. These are the most common reasons people come to see Dr. Kulkarni.

  • Stroke and mini-stroke

    Sudden weakness, numbness, a drooping face or slurred speech need emergency care. Afterwards, the focus is recovery and preventing another stroke.

  • Epilepsy and seizures

    Fits, blank spells and jerks are investigated with EEG and scans, then controlled with the right medicine at the right dose.

  • Headache and migraine

    Frequent or severe headaches are sorted by type, triggers are found, and both quick relief and prevention are planned.

  • Parkinson’s and movement disorders

    Tremor, stiffness, slowness and poor balance, with medicines adjusted over time as needs change.

  • Memory loss and dementia

    Forgetfulness and confusion are checked first for treatable causes such as low vitamin B12, thyroid problems or depression.

  • Nerve and muscle problems

    Tingling, burning feet, weakness and cramps from neuropathy, nerve compression or muscle disease, checked with nerve conduction tests.

  • Dizziness and vertigo

    Spinning, imbalance and fainting spells are examined carefully to find whether the cause lies in the ear, the brain or blood pressure.

This list covers the most common reasons for a visit. If your problem is not listed, send a request and ask.

What patients say

    Some medicines are needed for a short time, many for months or years. The panel lists the groups you may hear about, so the names are familiar when your plan is explained.

    • Take seizure medicines at the same time every day, and never stop them suddenly.
    • Keep a diary of headaches, seizures or dizzy spells, with dates and what happened.
    • Sudden weakness, a drooping face or slurred speech is an emergency. Go to the nearest hospital with a stroke team at once.
