Neurologist & Epileptologist

About Anup Panduranga

Epilepsy care is one of neurology's most specialised disciplines — and Southern Nevada has far too few physicians trained to its highest level. Anup Panduranga, M.D., is one of them. Dr. Panduranga is an American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology certified neurologist and fellowship-trained epileptologist whose career spans elite academic training, years of university teaching, and now full-time clinical practice.

His academic record signals the standard he carries. Dr. Panduranga graduated summa cum laude from Vanderbilt University, where he majored in neuroscience, and earned his medical degree from New York Medical College, where he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha honour society. He completed his internship in Internal Medicine at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, New York, followed by adult neurology residency at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, California. He then dedicated two additional years to fellowship training in epilepsy and clinical neurophysiology at Oregon Health & Science University and the Portland VA Medical Center.

Before joining this practice, Dr. Panduranga was an attending neurologist at Tuality Healthcare in the greater Portland metro area for three years, then served five years as Clinical Associate Professor in Neurology at Oregon Health & Science University — teaching residents and fellows while maintaining a demanding clinical practice. Physicians who teach must stay current, explain clearly, and defend their reasoning, and those habits survive the transition to private practice intact.

His special expertise lies in the treatment of epilepsy and in electroencephalogram interpretation. For patients with drug-resistant epilepsy he offers capabilities few Valley practices can match: experienced management of neurostimulation devices, including vagus nerve stimulation and deep brain stimulation — therapies that require ongoing, knowledgeable programming to deliver their full benefit. His presence means EEG and ambulatory EEG studies here are not merely performed to an accredited standard but interpreted by fellowship-trained eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Anup Panduranga

Training, scope of practice, and how to book.

What is an epileptologist?
A neurologist with additional fellowship training devoted specifically to epilepsy and clinical neurophysiology. Dr. Panduranga completed two years of that training at Oregon Health & Science University and the Portland VA Medical Center — the subspecialty immersion that separates an epileptologist from a general neurologist who treats seizures.
Does he manage VNS and DBS devices?
Yes. For patients with drug-resistant epilepsy he has experienced management of neurostimulation devices including vagus nerve stimulation and deep brain stimulation. The practice performs no surgery, so implantation happens at a surgical centre; candidacy assessment beforehand and the years of programming afterwards happen here.
Who interprets my EEG?
Studies performed at this practice are interpreted in-house, and Dr. Panduranga's fellowship training in clinical neurophysiology strengthens the EEG and ambulatory EEG programmes across the practice. That matters because several normal variants closely resemble abnormalities, and a recording over-called as abnormal can lead to years of unnecessary medication.
Where did he train?
He graduated summa cum laude from Vanderbilt University in neuroscience and earned his medical degree from New York Medical College, where he was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha. His internship was at North Shore University Hospital, his neurology residency at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, and his fellowship at Oregon Health & Science University.
Did he teach before joining the practice?
Yes — five years as Clinical Associate Professor in Neurology at Oregon Health & Science University, teaching residents and fellows alongside a demanding clinical practice, and three years before that as an attending neurologist at Tuality Healthcare in the greater Portland area.
Which office does he see patients at?
Both the Las Vegas and Henderson offices, and both perform routine and ambulatory EEG. Ambulatory monitoring requires two visits at the same office days apart, so it is worth choosing the shorter drive for that study in particular. Ask at booking which has earlier availability.

Emergency & crisis resources: Clinical Neurology Specialists is not an emergency service. For stroke symptoms, a seizure lasting more than five minutes or any medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For a mental health crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).
