Dr. James A. Macdonald

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 Spasticity.

I enjoy general neurology, but have a particular interest in the rehabilitation of individuals with neurological disorders. I previously worked as a physical therapist in an orthopedic clinic in Troy, New York, for seven years. I fell in love with the anatomy of the nervous system during my physical therapy training and again in medical school.
