V. GEETA BANSAL, M.D. – A RAY OF HOPE: NEUROLOGY AND PSYCHIATRY

SPECIALTY: Neurology, Psychiatry, and Neuromuscular Medicine

EDUCATION: Neurology and Psychiatry residencies, University of Pennsylvania; fellowship, Neuromuscular Medicine, Northwestern University

Dr. Geeta Bansal, Chief Medical Officer at A Ray of Hope: Neurology and Psychiatry, believes the integration of neurology and psychiatry is more critical than ever. “Disorders like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and epilepsy, alongside mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia, not only cause profound personal suffering but also place an immense burden on families and health care systems.” And with conditions on the rise globally, it’s imperative to her that patients don’t have long wait times to get the care they need.

As a dual specialist, she is uniquely positioned to address the complex, interconnected challenges facing our health care system today. “The mind and brain are inextricably linked, and breakthroughs in neurology and psychiatry are increasingly showing that many associated disorders share common biological pathways,” she says.

She takes a holistic, scientific, and integrated approach to treatment for her patients. “I am inspired by positivity and negativity, and by God in all facets of my life,” she says. “My goal is to understand the full scope of each patient’s experience.” This approach allows her to create personalized care plans that address both the physical and psychological aspects of her patient’s conditions, ultimately leading to a better quality of life.
