Neuro Care with One Goal: Your Health


Our skilled and caring team has West Georgia covered with comprehensive treatment for neurological conditions from the more minor to the most complex. Your good health is why we’re here, with responsive, personalized care for stroke, aneurysm, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, migraine and headache disorders, as well as Parkinson’s disease, neuropathy and more.

When you come to Wellstar West Georgia Medical Center for care, you’ll have the full power of the entire Wellstar Health System behind you. As the leading provider of stroke and aneurysm services in Georgia and part of the largest Joint Commission Certified Stroke network in the state, we’re ready at any time to support you or your loved one in the most critical moments, when every second counts. Wellstar West Georgia Medical Center is a Primary Stroke Center.

Treating challenging neurological cases takes know-how from physicians across many areas of medicine. That’s why we’re committed to a team approach to care. Working together, we create treatment plans that address all aspects of your health, broaden the breadth and depth of your care, and unlock more possibilities for recovery.

A Team You Can Trust

Our dedicated neurologists are board-certified, fellowship trained, and dedicated to supporting patients living with neurological conditions with the full range of treatment services, including today’s most promising therapies. With top ratings from both their patients as well as national and global organizations like The Joint Commission and the American Stroke Association, they’re redefining the way neurological care is provided to our communities in West Georgia.

For Strokes: BE FAST and Call 911

Always treat a stroke as though it has the potential to be life-threatening. Be prepared and remember the American Stroke Association’s B.E. F.A.S.T acronym. To assess the sign and symptoms of a stroke:

  • Balance: Is the person dizzy or having trouble keeping their balance?
  • Eyes: Is the person experiencing blurred vision or vision loss?
  • Face: Is one side of the person’s face drooping? Are they able to smile?
  • Arms: Are one or both arms weak? Are they drifting downward? Is the person able to raise both of their arms? 
  • Speech: Is the person’s speech strange or slurred? Can they repeat simple phrases? 
  • Time: Track the time the symptoms began and call 911.

The faster your response, the better the chances of survival and avoiding long-term harm and side effects, like difficulty speaking, walking or eating, after a stroke.

Expedited Care at Every Step

People go to the emergency room because they need urgent and compassionate attention. When you come to Wellstar West Georgia for emergency stroke care, a neuro-trained ER doctor will meet with you within minutes of your arrival. No matter which Wellstar location you visit, you’ll benefit from the expertise of our entire health system working together.

As part of the Wellstar Health System, West Georgia Medical Center can boast one of the only neurological care programs in the United States with a dedicated neuroradiology program. Our neuroradiologists have advanced training in nervous system conditions. They use advanced imaging studies such as CT scans, MRI scans, myelograms and angiograms to diagnose nervous system tumors with as much accuracy as possible.

Stroke Care

Wellstar Health System is equipped to handle the most complex stroke cases, assessing thousands of stroke patients each year. We’ve earned national recognition in the form of Beacon Awards for Excellence by the American Association of Critical Care Nurses, and we’re one of only a small number of neurological teams in Georgia to receive this distinction.

After a stroke, follow-up care and neurological rehabilitation can help you get back to the life you love. With three neurology-focused rehabilitation centers in our network, the West Georgia stroke rehab team has access to all the resources you need to transition from the hospital back home. Our programs cover daily activities including therapy that can reteach bathing, movement, cooking and driving.
