How Pokhara patients access care
Pokhara is approximately 200 km west of Kathmandu, making regular in-person visits challenging for many patients. Kathmandu Neurology Clinic & Cognitive Center at Durbar Marg, Opposite of Yak & Yeti Hotel serves patients from Pokhara through a combination of telemedicine consultations and planned in-person visits. Initial evaluation ideally occurs in person to allow thorough neurological examination, but triage consultations by telephone or video can assess urgency and determine whether immediate travel is necessary or whether local physician coordination can bridge the gap.
For patients travelling from Pokhara, the clinic allocates extended consultation time to allow comprehensive evaluation in a single visit. Patients should bring a symptom diary (at least 4 weeks), current and past medication list with doses, any prior investigations (MRI, EEG, nerve studies, blood tests), and a family member who can provide additional observations. Follow-up consultations may be conducted remotely after the initial in-person assessment, reducing the need for repeated long-distance travel.

Telemedicine and in-person options
Telemedicine consultation is suitable for established patients requiring medication review, diary-based assessment, and follow-up of stable conditions such as migraine, epilepsy, chronic headache and neuropathy. New or complex presentations � including first-seizure evaluation, new cognitive decline, progressive weakness, or diagnostic uncertainty � require in-person neurological examination. The clinician determines suitability for telemedicine during the initial booking call.
In-person visits from Pokhara can be planned efficiently: the clinic operates Sunday through Saturday, 9 AM to 7 PM by appointment. Call 974-7736624 or use /book-appointment to discuss your situation, arrange the appropriate consultation format, and ensure adequate time is allocated. For patients with limited mobility or urgent concerns, emergency services should be contacted directly rather than waiting for a clinic appointment.
