Overview
I see patients with a broad range of movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease, tremors, ataxia, dystonia, tics, and Huntington's disease. I employ deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy for selected patients with Parkinson's disease, tremor, or dystonia, and use botulinum toxin injections for certain patients with dystonia, tremors, or tics. I work with an interdisciplinary team of physicians, therapists, and other health care providers, with the overall goal of helping to improve the lives of patients with complex neurological diseases.

2 Clinical Trials
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 Spasticity.
