Candice J. Perkins, MD

As a stroke neurologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to my patients. My approach centers on understanding the complexities of the human mind and leveraging the latest advances in stroke treatment to improve patient outcomes. I find it incredibly rewarding to witness the progress my patients make as they recover and regain their quality of life.

I specialize in managing and treating patients with acute stroke, focusing on the latest techniques and therapies to enhance patient wellbeing. Since I began my career in the late 1990s, the field has evolved significantly, with stroke improving from being the third leading cause of death in the United States to the fifth. This progress is a testament to the advances made, and I am proud to contribute to these developments.

With decades of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep commitment to improving patient care. My work is driven by a passion for intellectual growth and the continuous challenges that stroke neurology presents. At NYU Langone, I collaborate with colleagues to ensure coordinated care for my patients, always prioritizing their health and recovery.

My journey into medicine was inspired by a desire to understand the intricacies of the human brain. Witnessing the limited treatment options during my stroke fellowship fueled my determination to make a meaningful impact in stroke care. I feel privileged to be part of the NYU Langone Long Island team, where I can contribute to advancing the field of stroke neurology and improving outcomes for patients with stroke.
