Dr. Joel C. Morgenlander
Overview
I am interested in both outpatient and inpatient care of patients with a wide variety of neurological disorders including a focus on sports neurology and sports concussion, general neurology, and autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica (NMO), sarcoidosis, vasculitis and chronic inflammatory demyelinating peripheral neuropathy. At Duke, we have talented neurology residents and fellows as well as advanced practice providers who help to provide excellent care. It is a big plus for patients to have these additional talented people thinking about their care. Thanks for considering Duke for your neurological care.

Duke Neurological Disorders Clinic - Clinic 1L
I am the division chief for Stroke and Vascular Neurology in the Department of Neurology at Duke Health. I see stroke patient in the emergency department, inpatient service as well as in the outpatient clinic. I also treated post-stroke limb spasticity, a disabling complication after stroke. In addition to the patient care, I also run a brain modulation and stroke recovery lab at the Duke University campus to study stroke patients in my lab to develop new stroke recovery therapy. On my days off, my boys and I are big on fishing. I enjoy drinking and collecting tea. As a stroke doctor, I do not drink coffee at all (there is a reason for it). If you come to see, I will tell you. Dr. Feng is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hemiplegia.
