Description

A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or when bleeding occurs within the brain. It may result in sudden weakness or paralysis, difficulty speaking, facial drooping, vision problems, dizziness or problems with balance. Stroke is a medical emergency. Sudden neurological symptoms require immediate emergency medical attention. After the acute phase, neurological follow-up and rehabilitation planning can play an important role in recovery and prevention of future strokes. Dr. Pratik Babel provides neurological assessment and ongoing management as appropriate.
