United Neuroscience Institute
Compassionate, expert care for the brain, spine, and nervous system — at the forefront of clinical neurology and neurosurgery.
How care is delivered
Clinic, hospital, and tele-health — one team.
The same physicians who see you in clinic cover the region's hospitals and emergency departments, so your care stays coordinated wherever it begins.

In-Hospital Acute Care
Around-the-clock acute neurology, neurocritical care, and neurointerventional coverage at partner hospitals across Bakersfield.
Tele-Health Network
Real-time neurological consults connecting hospitals and emergency teams — extending subspecialty coverage well beyond Kern County.

Guiding care, building knowledge
Dedicated to communities in the Central Valley and beyond.
Founded in Bakersfield in 2015, UNI has grown into one of the region's most comprehensive neurology and neurosurgery groups — serving a diverse patient community across Kern County, training the next generation of clinicians, and partnering with leading health systems.
We serve patients across the Central Valley, including a significant portion on Medi-Cal — because advanced brain and spine care should be accessible to the communities that need it.
