At United Neuroscience Institute, we are your dedicated partners in brain and spine health. Founded in Bakersfield in 2015, our group has grown into one of the most comprehensive neurology and neurosurgery practices in California’s Central Valley — bringing fellowship-trained subspecialty expertise to patients who deserve it, close to home.
We believe in following through. From your first visit through long-term management, our team listens carefully, coordinates across specialties, and stands with our patients and our hospital partners every step of the way.
Dedicated Specialists
Over 20 fellowship-trained Neurologists, Neurosurgeons, and advanced practice providers across various subspecialties of clinical neurology and neurosurgery.
Compassionate & Reliable
We listen, follow through, and remain present at every stage of a patient’s journey — from first evaluation through long-term management and recovery.
Evidence-Based
Grounded in the latest AHA, ASA, and subspecialty guidelines, our clinicians bring academic-level rigor to every clinical encounter in the community we call home.

Personalized care built on trust, clear communication, and a genuine commitment to every patient and family we serve.

Guiding Care, Building Knowledge
At United Neuroscience Institute, we advance neurological education through hands-on clinical training, research collaboration, and mentorship for the next generation of physicians.
Outpatient Care
Our clinic in the Central Valley of California offers comprehensive evaluation and long-term management of epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, headache, neuromuscular conditions, and more — with seamless continuity from hospital to clinic and back to the community.
In-Hospital Acute Care
Our inpatient teams deliver expert consultative neurology, Neurocritical Care, and neurosurgery at our hospital partner sites. We lead stroke programs, manage the NeuroICU, perform endovascular procedures, and coordinate surgical care — with urgency, precision, and compassion.
Tele-Health Network
We were the first to bring endovascular stroke care to Bakersfield and the Central Valley. Today, our 24/7 telestroke and tele-neurology network extends expert coverage to hospital partners across California, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota — empowering local care teams to deliver world-class neurological care without unnecessary transfers.
Dedicated to communities in the Central Valley and beyond.

"I had struggled with complex migraines for years before coming to the clinic. Dr. V took the time to listen to my history and found a treatment plan that actually worked. It’s rare to find specialists who are this thorough and genuinely caring about your quality of life."

"Being in a rural area, we used to struggle with transferring stroke patients out in time. Since joining the Tele-Stroke network, we have world-class neurologists on-screen in minutes, 24/7. It empowers our ER doctors and keeps patients close to home."
Dr. L
Emergency Dept. Director
"The reliability of their tele-neurology coverage is outstanding. It doesn’t feel like a remote consult; it feels like they are right there in the room with us. Their team is responsive, professional, and great with our on-site nursing staff."
