How to reach from Bhaktapur
Kathmandu Neurology Clinic & Cognitive Center at Durbar Marg, Opposite of Yak & Yeti Hotel is accessible from Bhaktapur via the Arniko Highway — a drive of approximately 30–45 minutes depending on traffic. The clinic serves patients from Bhaktapur, Madhyapur Thimi, Thimi and surrounding areas across Bhaktapur district. Direct booking is available — no referral is needed. Patients should bring a symptom diary (at least 4 weeks), current and past medication list with doses, any prior investigations (MRI, EEG, nerve studies), and a family member who can provide additional observations especially for memory or seizure concerns.
For patients unable to travel to Kathmandu, an initial telephone or video consultation can be arranged to triage urgency and determine whether an in-person visit is required. Follow-up consultations may be possible remotely in selected cases after initial in-person assessment. The clinic operates Sunday through Saturday, 9 AM to 7 PM by appointment.

Neurological conditions evaluated
Dr. Jitendra evaluates the full range of adult neurological conditions relevant to patients from Bhaktapur. Headache and migraine are assessed using ICHD-3 criteria with diary-based review — distinguishing migraine from tension-type and cluster headache to guide appropriate treatment. Vertigo and dizziness are evaluated with positional testing where safe, separating BPPV from vestibular migraine and central causes. Epilepsy evaluation covers first-seizure assessment, event narrative and EEG considerations when indicated.
Peripheral neuropathy — tingling, burning, numbness in feet or hands — is mapped clinically with nerve conduction studies ordered only when they would clarify cause or severity. Memory and cognitive concerns are assessed with informant history, MoCA or MMSE screening, and targeted labs to exclude reversible contributors such as thyroid disease, vitamin B12 deficiency or medication effects. Movement disorders including tremor and Parkinsonian features are characterized by timing, family history and associated features before any imaging is discussed.
