Neurology at BMC
Neurologists at Berkshire Health Systems have special training in diseases of the nervous system and collaborate with an integrated healthcare system to deliver state-of-the-art care to our patients. All of our physicians in this department see the general neurology patient and provide around-the-clock care for our community. But based on their individual backgrounds and education, the practice is organized around their individual areas of expertise.
Leading the award-winning Stroke Team at Berkshire Medical Center is Alexander Kloman, MD, who supervises the care of all stroke patients.
