About Jessica A. Knirk

For more than a decade, Las Vegans navigating neurological conditions have found a steady, experienced partner in Jessica A. Knirk, M.D. Board-certified in general neurology, Dr. Knirk has practised in Las Vegas since 2015 and brings the breadth that defines excellent general neurology: the ability to evaluate whatever walks through the door — headache, numbness, tremor, memory change, seizure, dizziness — and to know what it is, what it is not, and what to do next.

Dr. Knirk received her medical degree from Michigan State University and completed her residency in Neurology at the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Peoria, Illinois. Before relocating to Nevada she practised private-practice neurology in Fort Wayne, Indiana — an experience that shaped her approach: community neurologists answer to their patients and their outcomes rather than to a system's throughput targets.

Her clinical services span the core of outpatient neurology: comprehensive consultations for new symptoms and second opinions, ongoing follow-up for chronic neurological conditions, and electromyography — the nerve and muscle testing at the heart of the practice's AANEM-accredited electrodiagnostic laboratories. Performing EMG is a craft as much as a credential, and her studies contribute to the nationally audited standard behind the practice's exemplary-status accreditation.

Dr. Knirk also provides botulinum toxin injection therapy, an FDA-approved preventive treatment for adults living with chronic migraine — fifteen or more headache days a month, for whom being told to take something stopped being an answer long ago. The combination she offers is frequently what has been missing: an accurate headache diagnosis first, then a structured preventive plan, delivered by the same physician visit after visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Jessica A. Knirk

Training, scope of practice, and how to book.

What does Dr. Knirk specialise in?
General neurology, which in practice means the full range of adult presentations: headache, numbness, tremor, memory change, seizures and dizziness. Alongside that she performs electromyography in the practice's accredited laboratories and provides Botox injection therapy for adults with diagnosed chronic migraine.
Does she perform Botox for migraine?
Yes. Botulinum toxin injection is an FDA-approved preventive treatment for chronic migraine in adults, meaning fifteen or more headache days a month with migraine features on at least eight. Dr. Knirk provides it in-office at Clinical Neurology Specialists, and it is a medical treatment on a clinical protocol rather than a cosmetic one.
Where did she train?
Dr. Knirk received her medical degree from Michigan State University and completed her neurology residency at the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Peoria, Illinois. She then practised private-practice neurology in Fort Wayne, Indiana, before relocating to Nevada and joining Clinical Neurology Specialists.
How long has she been in Las Vegas?
Since 2015, and she has been a full-time staff neurologist with this practice since arriving. A decade in one community with one practice is worth knowing, because continuity is the thing patients with chronic neurological conditions most often say they want and least often get.
Does she perform her own EMG studies?
Yes, and that matters. In this practice the physician performing an electrodiagnostic study also interprets it, which means a study can be extended on the day when an early finding raises a new question, and the result is explained by the person who produced it rather than relayed.
Which office does she see patients at?
Both the Las Vegas and Henderson offices. Each carries the full set of six in-office studies and both hold the same records, so alternating between them restarts nothing. Ask when you book which has earlier availability, because it differs between the two week to week.

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).
