Neurologists

• Neurology
  Marin General Hospital receives American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Prestigious Get With The Guidelines®-Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award - Neurology Clinic of Marin
• Multiple Sclerosis
  Multiple sclerosis, or MS, is a long-lasting disease that can affect the brain, spinal cord, and the optic nerves in the eyes. It can cause problems with vision, balance, muscle control, and other basic body functions. MS happens when the patient's immune system attacks a fatty material called myelin, which wraps around nerve fibers to protect them. Without this outer shell, the nerves become damaged. Scar tissue may form and brain can’t send signals through the body correctly. As a result, patients may have symptoms like trouble walking, feeling tired, muscle weakness or spasms, blurred or double vision, numbness and tingling, sexual problems, poor bladder or bowel control, pain, depression, problems focusing or remembering.

  The first symptoms often start between ages 20 and 40. Most people with MS have attacks, also called relapses, when the condition gets noticeably worse. They’re usually followed by times of recovery when symptoms improve. It is more common in females and in Northern Europe. It has a genetic component although most cases are sporadic. Some MS patients continue to get worse over time. There’s no single test that can prove one has MS. The test we do include blood tests to rule out diseases that cause similar symptoms, like Lyme disease and AIDS, Checking of balance, coordination, vision, and other functions to see how well your nerves are working. Tests include to diagnose are: brain and spinal cord MRI, Analysis of the liquid that cushions brain and spinal cord, called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). People with MS usually have specific proteins in their CSF. We sometimes need more tests (called evoked potentials) that measure the electrical activity in the brain.

Surgeons

• Whiplash
  I have been seeing more high school and middle school students with soccer, basketball and football head traumas. The awareness of short and long term implications of head trauma are now well known by atheletes, parents and coaches. They all are looking for safer ways of playing sports. In adults, I see a lot of car accidents or bike accidents with head trauma or whiplash injuries to head and neck region. My patients with head injuries and postconcussion syndromes are exponentially increasing. The reason they all seek medical attention is the awareness and data on CTE and potential dementia.
• Neurosurgery
  After moving to San Francisco Bay Area, she started her practice in San Anselmo, Marin County. In addition, she was a Clinical Associate in the Department of Neurosurgery at UC Davis until 2006. Dr. Cokgor sees patients in Marin Health Medical Center, where she also serves as the Stroke Director. She covers Novato Community Hospital as well.

Plastic Surgeons

• Botox
  I read EEGs, do EMG for nerve and muscle disorders and Botox. My patients who need these procedures don't need to be referred to other doctors to do them. I can provide these procedures myself so the care is more straightforward and time saving.

Physical Therapists

• Physical Therapy
  I wanted to tell you were right! I saw an orthopedist as you suggested and I have shoulder cuff tendinitis. He gave me a shot of cortisone and I will follow through with physical therapy. Thank you again for being so smart! I feel so much better and can sleep through the night. You are amazing! Rock Star!
