See a stroke specialist immediately after any stroke or TIA (transient ischaemic attack / mini-stroke). Also consult if you have multiple risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, smoking), need a second opinion on diagnosis or treatment, or are planning post-stroke rehabilitation. The earlier specialist involvement begins, the better the outcome.

A neurologist manages most ischemic strokes with thrombolysis, post-stroke recovery, and long-term risk factor control. A neurosurgeon intervenes in hemorrhagic strokes (bleeding in the brain), large vessel occlusions requiring mechanical thrombectomy, and surgically treatable causes like cerebral aneurysms. Both specialties often collaborate in complex stroke management — as at NeuroWellness.

Mechanical thrombectomy is a minimally invasive procedure where a specialist uses a catheter to physically remove a large blood clot from a brain artery. It is used for large vessel occlusion strokes — typically when thrombolysis alone is insufficient. The procedure can be performed up to 24 hours after symptom onset in selected patients and can dramatically reverse stroke paralysis. Not all hospitals offer this — it requires a Biplane Cath Lab and a trained neurointerventional surgeon.
