Walter G. Carlini, M.D., Ph.D.
Physician: Neurologist
 BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Walter Carlini is board certified in Neurology by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. He graduated from Harvard University in 1980. He earned his Ph.D. in Neurosciences in June, 1986, and his doctor of medicine degree in June, 1988, both from Stanford University. Dr. Carlini completed his Medical Internship at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland and then returned to Stanford University School of Medicine for his Residency in Neurology, followed by a Fellowship in Clinical Electrophysiology. He joined the Medford Neurological and Spine Clinic in 1993. Dr. Carlini is on the staff of Rogue Valley Medical Center, Providence Medical Center, and Ashland Community Hospital. He is a member of several professional societies and remains actively involved in clinical research.
Dr. Carlini’s interests include stroke, epilepsy, migraine, dementia, movement disorders, and multiple sclerosis. Dr. Carlini has expertise in clinical neurophysiology and in the use of botulinum toxin injections to treat a variety of neurologic disorders. He is actively involved in clinical research studies and has served as a Principal Investigator in over 50 phase I-III clinical trials spanning a wide range of neurologic disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, migraine and headache, and neuropathies. Dr. Carlini also performs intraoperative neurophysiology examinations of surgical patients with his neurosurgical partners.
