Coverage when a hospital needs a neurologist who can step in and function as part of the team.

• Recurring monthly coverage
• Vacation, leave, or bridge coverage
• Interim neurohospitalist service support
• Stroke call and tele-stroke coverage
• Coverage during recruitment or service-line transition
• Defined short-term blocks for hospitals or neurology groups

• Stroke call On-site acute stroke coverage, including emergency neurologic evaluation, thrombolysis decision-making when indicated, inpatient follow-up, and communication with emergency and hospital teams.
• Tele-stroke Remote acute stroke consultation and decision support for facilities seeking dependable neurologic expertise and direct physician communication.
• Neurohospitalist rounding Inpatient neurology consultation, follow-up care, and cross-coverage with an emphasis on sound clinical judgment, efficient workflow, and clear communication with the broader medical team.
• Outpatient clinic days Available selectively by arrangement, particularly when outpatient support or continuity is useful in connection with a broader coverage relationship.

Hospitals and groups can work directly with the physician providing the care. Direct contracting creates a clear clinical relationship and can reduce unnecessary administrative layers while allowing recurring coverage to be structured around the needs of the facility.

• Direct physician communication
• Clearer scheduling and coverage expectations
• Continuity across recurring assignments
• Flexible, defined coverage arrangements
• Efficient repeat onboarding once credentialed

I value clear communication, dependable follow-through, and thoughtful clinical judgment. My goal is to integrate quickly into the existing team, provide high-quality neurologic care, and make coverage easier rather than more complicated. For coverage needs that call for subspecialty input beyond general and behavioral neurology, I can also connect facilities with trusted colleagues directly.

Currently licensed in multiple states, including Arizona, California, Florida, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee.

I am IMLC-qualified, which can facilitate additional state licensure where applicable.

Dr. Nasir is a board-certified neurologist who trained at a Comprehensive Stroke Center and Level I Trauma Center, with ongoing experience in inpatient neurology, acute stroke call, tele-neurology, and neurohospitalist coverage.

He also completed fellowship training in Behavioral Neurology & Neuropsychiatry at UCLA, where he later served as Assistant Clinical Professor of Neurology, training and academic experience that sharpen his handling of the inpatient presentations that don’t fit a routine pattern, including evolving neurodegenerative disease, encephalopathy, complex delirium, and concurrent neurological comorbidities. In practice, that means straightforward stroke call and thrombolysis decisions, plus the range to take on the harder consults other coverage sends out.

He maintains an ongoing academic affiliation as an Associate Member of UCLA’s Brain Research Institute, and works through Nasir Neurology, available for direct hospital and group coverage arrangements.

• Contracts through Nasir Neurology, his professional corporation
• Credentialing file complete and current
• NIHSS certification, malpractice coverage, NPI, DEA, CAQH, and CV available on request
• Available for direct facility agreements and recurring coverage arrangements
