Michael Robert Pietak

Assistant Professor of Neurology
Neurology, General & Community Neurology

Overview


As a general neurologist, I see and treat patients with a variety of neurological problems. During my residency at Duke I became particularly interested in seizure disorders, and completed a clinical neurophysiology fellowship focused on the diagnosis and management of epilepsy.
