Carolin Dohle, M.D.
Profile
Carolin Dohle, M.D., is an attending neurologist for Burke Rehabilitation Hospital's Stroke Rehabilitation Program and is certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Prior to becoming an attending physician, Dr. Dohle was also a Neurorehabilitation Fellow at Burke where she developed a clinical trial to test the efficacy of a ketogenic diet—high fat, low carb—for improving post-stroke recovery. She is now leading this clinical trial and working in partnership with the Burke Medical Research Institute.
Dr. Dohle also serves on Burke Rehabilitation Hospital’s Internal Review Board and the Clinical Trials Task Force of the American Society for Neurorehabilitation (ASN), where she is also a member. In addition to the ASN, Dr. Dohle is a member of the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Neurology.
