Some issues Dr. Walter Gino Carlini, MD can help you with:

Headache

Headaches are dull or sharp pains that occur in regions of the head and face. Headaches occur in many different forms and vary in location, severity, and duration. They are not necessarily a sign of an underlying illness and often resolve on their own. However, headaches can present significant day-to-day discomfort. The most common forms of headaches include:

  • Migraines: one of the most prevalent types of headache, migraines typically last from two hours to three days, causing a throbbing pain on one side of the head. Nausea, sensitivity to bright lights, fatigue, and blurred vision all may accompany migraines. While migraines have no known cure, medications and lifestyle modifications may ease symptoms. Avoiding behaviors that may trigger migraines such as lack of sleep or loud, repetitive noises can improve headaches.
  • Tension headaches: also known as stress headaches, these headaches are characterized by pain in the upper top part of the head and behind the eyes. Tension headaches are common and have no exact cause; however, certain practices may increase the likelihood of developing them. For example, wearing one's hair up in a tight hairstyle or wearing a restrictive hat can put pressure on the scalp, leading to a tension headache. Other causes of tension headaches may include alcohol or nicotine use, caffeine, teeth grinding, stress, overexertion, and eye strain. Some people find posture improvement, alternating sleeping positions, and neck exercise can alleviate tension headaches. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motren) and naproxen sodium (Aleve) may also reduce tension-headache pain.
  • Sinus headaches: this type of headache causes pain in the sinuses, but may progress to pain and pressure in the eyes, forehead, and cheeks. These headaches are often accompanied by nasal congestion, fatigue, and ache in the upper teeth and may or may not be caused by sinus infections or sinusitis (sinus inflammation). Some sinus headaches are allergic headaches, which arise from allergic triggers such as seasonal allergies (pollen allergies) or hay fever, causing sinus pressure and facial pain. Other symptoms of allergic headaches include nasal congestion, irritated or watery eyes, runny nose, and sneezing. Allergic headaches may be treated with antihistamine medications such as cetirizine (Zyrtec). Allergic headaches are common during pollen season, which is usually around springtime.
  • Cluster headaches: these headaches occur suddenly and cause stabbing, sharp pain from one eye down to the one side of the neck. They are often referred to as the most aggravating and painful type of headaches. Other symptoms of cluster headaches include nasal congestion, droopy eyelid, and enlarged pupil on one side of the face. In the past, it was widely believed that cluster headaches were caused by a bevy or "cluster" of multiple types of headaches, such as a combination of an allergic headache and a tension headache. Medical experts now recognize that cluster headaches are a separate and unique form of headache. Cluster headaches last for around twenty minutes to two hours. They may recur throughout the period of a day or several weeks, but usually dissipate within a month. Treatment for cluster headaches includes over-the-counter pain medications such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motren) and naproxen sodium (Aleve). Prescription Prednisone can help with swelling and Verapamil may reduce pain by relaxing the blood vessels.

Living with headaches is challenging; headaches can prevent people from fully enjoying life. Medical treatment and care in avoiding certain triggers can help those with headaches begin to feel normal once again.

Stroke

A stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when a blood vessel supplying oxygen and nutrients to the brain is ruptured or blocked. The brain cannot function without a steady supply of oxygen and nutrients, so when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted, even for a brief moment, brain cells begin to die. When a sufficient number of brain cells die, the brain itself can no longer function, meaning that strokes are very dangerous. Strokes can result in impaired movement, speech, cognitive ability, the impairment of important physical functions, and even death.

Anyone can have a stroke, regardless of age and health. Strokes are known to happen at random. However, certain conditions and behaviors can increase one's risk of stroke over time.

Risk factors for stroke include:

  • Heart disease
  • Older age
  • Smoking
  • Diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • High blood cholesterol and lipids

There are two main types of stroke: ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Ischemic stroke occurs more commonly and is when a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked. Blockages are caused by blood clots and built-up plaque (deposits of fat and cholesterol), which leads to atherosclerosis, a condition where the blood vessels narrow and harden. The resultant restricted blood flow may lead to an ischemic stroke by blocking essential oxygen to the brain, causing the heart to exert more effort to pump blood.

Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in or around the brain ruptures. The burst vessel leaks blood into surrounding brain tissue, causing irreparable brain damage.

Hemorrhagic strokes are less common and may occur from head injuries, brain aneurysms, brain tumors, and bleeding disorders, amongst other conditions.

Both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes require immediate medical treatment. Medical intervention can prevent severe and life-threatening brain damage. Signs of stroke include:

-Disorientation or confusion

-Difficulty speaking

-Difficulty walking

-Impaired vision

-Weakness in the face, legs, or arms

-Severe headaches

When someone suspected of having a stroke reaches the hospital, the patient will usually receive a CT or other scan that provides an image of the brain. The scan results can reveal clotted or leaking blood in the brain. Physical exams, neurological exams, and blood tests may also be used to check for blood clotting and sugar. Treatment begins generally immediately if a stroke is detected.

Medical treatment for ischemic strokes includes a thrombolytic medicine which breaks up and disperses blood clots. This medicine can greatly improve stroke recovery and long-term health. However, the thrombolytic medicine must be administered as soon as possible to achieve these results. Other treatments for ischemic strokes are blood thinners and thrombectomy, a surgical procedure to remove a blood clot in the brain. Thrombectomy is performed by inserting a catheter (thin needle) into the artery to reach the blood clot and mechanically remove it. With the clot removed, normal blood flow to the brain resumes. Thrombectomy is typically performed at most six hours after a patient shows signs of a stroke.

Hemorrhagic strokes are treated with blood-saving medication and surgery. For a hemorrhagic stroke caused by the rupture of an aneurysm (blood vessel bulges), surgery to stem the bleeding aneurysm and vessel may be used. One surgical technique is stent-assisted coiling, which adds a stent (small wire-meshed tube) into the blood vessel to block the leaking opening of the aneurysm. A non-surgical procedure is endovascular coiling, where a catheter (thin, hollow needle) places a platinum wire coil at the spot of the aneurysm. The coil blocks bleeding and prevents the aneurysm from continuing to leak blood. These procedures are usually combined with blood-thickening medications. Blood transfusions may be administered if substantial blood loss has occurred.

Since stroke patients may have lost some essential functions while the blood flow to their brains was obstructed, both ischemic stroke and hemorrhage stroke patients may receive post-stroke rehabilitation to rebuild their physical and mental abilities. Some restorative treatments include occupational, physical, and speech therapy. Patients may also receive care from neurologists, who can assist patients in recovering certain brain functions and cognitive abilities, and rehabilitation psychologists, who may help patients with their emotional, behavioral, and cognitive recovery. Some stroke patients require lengthy rehabilitation and may never fully regain function, while others may recover more quickly. While the fastest recovery improvements are usually seen in the first three or four months, stroke rehabilitation can last for years.

If someone begins to show signs of stroke, contact emergency services and call 9-1-1 immediately since blood flow must be restored as soon as possible to help avoid significant brain damage. If an ambulance takes the person to the hospital, paramedics can initiate stroke treatment as soon as the patient enters the ambulance, allowing for more prompt medical intervention and care.

It seemed my appointment time was divided between me and the other people across the hall. When I mentioned to the doctor I did not receive my infusion date.He seemed to have moved with urgency. He then brought in a nurse lady and let her get on the computer. As she was on the computer, he left the room. She too left the room a few moments later.She returned and asked if the doctor was finished with me? I to.nLd her, no I barely even started speaking with him. When?nHe came back in the room.He had me walk down the hall in timed.Me, he never gave me the results of my speed. He then cut it short and asked if I had any questions. I had actually had a list of 5 things I needed to discuss. I let him know about my restless legs while i'm sleeping and how I wake up with my knees sore. Instead of discussing upping my baclofen dosage he proceeds to tell me tjat MS does not make your legs hurt.. Ii do believe I am the one living with this illness, and I would not even have restless legs.If it was not for MS.. Howhow is calling regarding the referral for my infusion almost a month early am I?nInfusion was still two days late. It has been a few years since i've had an m r I he said he has put a referral in for me, but I still have heard nothing. It is also time that I have physical therapy.However, not giving the chance I was unable to bring it up.So now i'm going to have to call and see if I can get that referral for my grant's pass location. He even put the referral for my m r I in medford, I do not live in medford.

Although Dr Carlini is a good neurologist I have spent I believe fivDr Car Dr Carlini is one of a kind and one of a kind and would take some getting used to. That's why I recommended a seven He was willing to trust me on how I handled my medications and I always ask permission first before I did anything and it took us five years to get a working relationship to working, so did you have to be a person who could deal with someone Who is OK with a with someone who is not a people person also a doctor because he is an excellent doctor. He's very thorough and he always keeps track of everything and he keeps struck all medications that I'm on. He knows what I'm all currently and when things go bad, he make sure that it gets stopped. Whatever currently he just stopped in medication so my recommendation would be yes if you need to see a good neurologist go see him just realize he's just another people person.

While I have been a patient with Providence Neurology for 3 years, I have been a patient of 3 providers now. The first 2 providers were awful, they were rude, had terrible bedside manners and did not have my best interest in mind. I felt ignored and as if my condition was just another day at work for them and they were there just to earn their high dollar paycheck. Now with Dr. Carlini he has been so compassionate, understanding and has caught things that none of my other providers have such as medications that actually are harmful for people with epilepsy. He truly cares about his patients he truly listens and truly understands what we go through. I'm absolutely thankful for him and I wish he would have been my doctor from the beginning.

I've found Dr. Carlini to be somewhat terse, but he does listen to what I have to say, is interactive about ensuring understanding and responds thoughtfully. I've enjoyed interacting with him. Regarding questions about scheduling... I responded that my scheduling experience with Dr. Carlini has been very good, but that's because we schedule my next appointment whenever I visit (at my last visit, we scheduled the next two appointments). This works well as long as I don't have to reschedule at all. If I do, getting a new appointment any time soon can be a challenge. In fairness, this seems to be an issue across all practices at Providence in Southern Oregon, not just with Dr. Carlini.

Dr. Carlini was very helpful and explained things well. He took the time to review my chart, do some in-office tests, and listen to what my wife and I had to say. Dr. Carlini's assistant who took my blood pressure and oxygen levels, etc, was very kind and friendly. It was really nice to see the same lady as we've seen In the office previously. It adds a level of comfort to see the same person as before rather than have the staff constantly changing like in some offices. The lady at the front desk was great, also. We don't have any complaints about this visit.

Dr Carlini is knowledgeable and is always willing to try new medications to help alleviate symptoms. However, at times I don't feel heard and it doesn't seem that my concerns are being taken seriously. I've noticed appointments are evoking anxiety due to trying to figure out how to articulate my symptoms effectively so I am heard and understood. Most appointments end in feeling misunderstood and disheartened that my symptoms continue to have a negative impact on my ability to function with no changes.

This was my first visit with Dr Carlini and I felt very comfortable right away! He had access to my previous records, was interested in what I had to say and seemed more interested than my previous Dr in getting to the root cause of my medical problem. In that regard, he ordered a test that had been done several years ago just to be sure that nothing was missed or overlooked. Dr Carlini is exactly the type of specialist that I was hoping to find.
