" I believe that neurology as a speciality, is an essential component of The Capstone Clinic and correlates to other specialities in one way or another. "

As an expert neurologist and consultant at The Capstone Clinic, Dr.Arul has diagnosed and treated several disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, and the nervous system such as cerebrovascular disease, demyelinating diseases, unexplained headaches, seizure disorders, and neurodegenerative disorders.

Dr.Arul joined The Capstone Clinic due to his familiarity with and respect for many of the doctors including Dr.Ramasubramanian. He has absolute trust in the collective vision- which is to build a clinic focused on individual and family healthcare. He believes the concept of a multispeciality clinic is unlike any other, and will be welcomed by all patients and their families. Given the rising incidence of migraines, strokes, epilepsy and other neurological problems, he feels his experience as a neurologist will add value to the clinic’s ability to address all these issues across patients.
