Patrick Capone, MD/PhD
My clinical practice encompasses the broad spectrum of neurologic diseases. I am equally engaged in acute neurologic care required for the treatment of stroke patients, infections of the central nervous system, epilepsy or acute inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system and management of chronic conditions such as multiple sclerosis, neuromuscular disorders, Parkinson’s disease, dementing illnesses, headache, diseases of the spine, and other pain syndrome and. I treat both adult and pediatric patients. The use of advanced imaging technologies for the diagnosis of neurologic disease (MRI and CT) is my subspecialty, I serve as the Director of the Winchester Neuroimaging Fellowship which is a nationally accredited training program for neurologists in the subspecialty of neuroimaging. I am heavily focused on improving the diagnostic techniques and treatment for acute stroke and a principal investigator for a number of acute stroke trials.
My expertise in neuroimaging allows me to best tailor the appropriate diagnostic studies for the diagnosis and treatment of my patients. We provide supervision and interpretation of imaging studies both for an outpatient high field open MRI scanner (Valley Open MRI) and inpatient CT and MRI studies at Winchester Medical Center. It is my goal to maintain the cutting edge of the technology for the care of our patients. By maintaining a practice which is both hospital and outpatient based, our neurologic group is able to provide a broad range of neurodiagnostic facilities including EMG, sleep and EEG with state of the art equipment in our office and for our inpatients at Winchester Medical Center along with in-office infusion therapy for neurologic disease and in office fluoroscopy for interventional pain treatment.
It is my mission to provide the best treatment for the broad spectrum of neurologic patients while working to advance medical education and the clinical neurosciences.
