  • Alzheimer's: Causes and Prevention

    Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative condition that reduces your ability to function in daily life. Alzheimer's impacts memory and can be devastating for you and your family members. While studies show that there's likely a specific genetic component to developing Alzheimer's, it's also a...

  • Are chronic headaches curable?

    Chronic headaches are manageable with the right medication and therapy if needed. READ MORE

  • Can a concussion cause behavior problems?

    A concussion is a mild Traumatic Brain Injury which may have an affect on behavior, mood or personality or what may be causing the change in behavior is if he is experiencing pain, lack of sleep or fatigue READ MORE

  • What vitamins help with depression?

    L-methyl folate 7.5-15mg daily; it was once FDA-approved as Deplin. Depends what FEATURES of depression predominate in your case. Anxiety, sleep, fatigue, motivation, appetite (up or down)....too many variables to give you the best advice. As far as a comprehensive supplement, the renowned psychiatrist I work with recommends Neurella (3-4 capsules/day) to his patients. If anxiety is a big feature, there is good research on NAC up to 1800 mg/day....but you may have trouble buying this online for much longer b/c the FDA ordered supplement sellers to stop, due to the fact that NAC was approved as an actual drug in 1963. READ MORE

  • Do you need to see a neurologist after a stroke?

    Yes, b/c the greatest risk after stroke is.......another stroke! So, lowering your risk factors is key to "keeping the function you still got." Sadly, not all neurologists are created equal. A VERY few truly specialize in stroke management; and the guidelines are constantly changing. And even fewer neurologists specialize in neuro-rehabilitation....and only a few of those will care or know much about which medications or supplements could help with optimizing functional recovery...both in the short term and the long. READ MORE

  • I can barely remember?

    Just a quick answer (because a longer answer is not possible without more information), get your B12 and folate levels checked (and vit D while you're at it). I diagnose and treat many such cases in my neurology practice (and sometimes by telemedicine). READ MORE

  • Tongue movements?

    You are spot on, it could indeed be Tardive Dyskinesia (TD). The obvious question then is, have you ever taken dopamine-blocking drugs (most often anti-psychotics, but also, commonly, metaclopramide)? READ MORE

  • How do you stop panic attacks without medication?

    Mindfulness training such as meditation and yoga can help you cope and reduce these feelings or at least control your response to feelings of anxiety. Other stress-relieving techniques such as breathing and counting may also help. As part of a comprehensive change in lifestyle, learn to reduce and avoid common stressors and incorporate exercise as well as dietary changes. A growing realization in the mental health community places emphasis on a "psychiatric diet". This nutritional approach hilights anti-inflammatory foods, balancing gut flora known as your 'biota' with pre and pro-biotics, and ensuring adequate intake of omega-3 fatty acids ("fishoil"). Oral supplement or nutraceuticals have shown promise. Examples include NAC at 1800mg/day, curcumin+black pepper formulations; Ashwagandha, Bacopa and Rhodiola are examples of 'adaptogens' that seem to keep the brain--and the mind--on a more even keel. https://www.healthgrades.com/physician/dr-jonathan-fellus-x7xqb READ MORE

  • What is the best therapy for anxiety?

    The most general but best answer is a combination of psychotherapy or talk therapy combined with attention to psychiatric nutrition or certain nutritional supplements that come from the natural world; and when those 2 issues and other lifestyle issues such as exercise have been attempted then often medication is worthwhile to explore READ MORE

  • Impaired sensation for touch?

    I would think that any neurologist would recommend that you see an actual neurologist about your symptoms and discuss the possibility of multiple sclerosis and getting an MRI of the brain READ MORE

He then went on to complete his residency in neurology at Pennsylvania Hospital, where he served as Chief Resident. Finally, he completed his fellowship in neurorehabilitation at the University of Maryland Medical Center, Kernan Rehabilitation Hospital.

Prior to opening Advanced NeuroCare in 2012, he served as Director of Rehabilitation at Meadowlands Hospital, and Director of Brain Injury Services at the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation.

Neurology is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the nervous system. Neurologists diagnose and treat disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles.

Dr. Fellus also enjoys family time, cooking, travel, hiking and wild foraging in his spare time.
