 Hello, I'm Brian Jenkins. I'm a cerebral vascular neurosurgeon that is co-chair of JFK University Medical Center Stroke and Neurovascular Center. I'd like to believe my expertise is all things vascular. I fell in love with treating blood vessels early on in my training. I want to treat life-threatening diseases and pathologies that profoundly alter a patient's life. I want my patients to feel like they can speak freely, be open and honest, and that they know that I'm going to give them the same in return. I found that's the single best way to ensure that whatever I do to my patient remains true to my heart and true to what I would do for my own family. It is incredibly rewarding to change the outcome of a patient. I can institute a surgically therapeutic strategy and see an outcome sometimes right on the table. I can see someone come in with no ability to speak and leave the room after a 30-minute encounter, being able to communicate again. To give someone back the power of speech, the power of using their dominant hand, the power to caress their child, the power to feed themselves, there can't be anything more gratifying in this world.
