📣 Exciting News!

I am thrilled to announce that I am joining the Neurology Offices of South Florida, part of First Choice Neurology, the largest neurology group in the United States! First Choice Neurology has over 60 Care Centers across Florida and offers a wide range of specialized services, including MRI, sleep centers, infusion therapy, and more.

🗓 Important Dates:
- I will continue seeing patients in my current practice until February 26, 2025.
- Starting March 3, 2025, I’ll be seeing patients at my new office!

📍 New Office Location:
9970 N. Central Park Blvd, Ste 207
Boca Raton, FL 33428
(Located on the West Boca Medical Center campus, just a short distance from my current office!)

This move will allow me to accept major insurance plans in addition to Medicare, making my care more accessible while maintaining the same high-quality, personalized service you’ve come to expect.

❗️ Insurance Note:
The only patients I will NOT be able to see at the new practice are those with Humana or CarePlus insurance, as these plans are not accepted at First Choice Neurology. If this applies to you, please contact your primary care physician or your insurance company for assistance in finding a neurologist.

I know change can be challenging, but I’m here to support you every step of the way. I’m so excited about this new chapter and look forward to continuing to care for you!

☎️ To schedule an appointment at my new office, call (561) 482-1027 and request Dr. Renata Chalfin.

Thank you for your trust and support! 💙

WOW. This is horrible, but I wonder if it is going to come out to be a disgruntled patient or physician due to uncovered costs...

The CEO of UnitedHealth was fatally shot in the chest Wednesday morning outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown in what police say was a targeted attack.

Are you lost in the healthcare system?

Do you feel like you’re being passed from one doctor to another, with no one truly listening or guiding you? You’re taking medications but aren’t even sure why. Labs are done, but there’s no follow-up, no plan, and no relief. You deserve better.

It doesn’t have to be this way.
Imagine being seen quickly, having all your questions answered, and finally understanding what’s going on with your health. Together, we can stop the cycle of confusion, reduce or even eliminate unnecessary medications, and create a clear plan to get your life back.

One of my patients had been to five different doctors before coming to me. He suffered from nightly headaches that woke him up from sleep. Within just a few appointments, we figured out the root cause. Now, he’s gone from daily headaches to just one headache a month—with no medications.

If this sounds like what you’ve been searching for, let’s talk. Book an appointment today, and let’s work together to get you the answers and care you deserve.

Don’t settle for being just another number in the system—take control of your health today.

With open enrollment season upon us, I always like to remind my patients the difference between traditional/original Medicare and private Medicare advantage plans. Traditional/original Medicare is highly superior for many reasons. See below for a great comparison. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments.

Do you know someone with extra office space in West/Central Boca? I’m a neurologist with a small, part-time practice looking to share or sublease an exam room.

Here’s what I’m looking for:
• ADA-compliant room/building with a sink
• Very light traffic (5-10 patients/day, Tues-Thurs, 9-3)
• Minimal setup, as I work solo and only bring basic equipment

If you know of a space—or someone who does—I’d be so grateful if you could connect us!

Just found out my friend and colleague is offering a self-hypnosis class for patients coping with medical conditions! See details here: https://www.spertusmd.com/classes-1

Looking to lease office space starting late December/early January! If anyone knows of available spaces – ideally around West/Central Boca – I'd love to connect. Flexible on size, but hoping for something suitable for a small, professional setup, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Appreciate any leads or recommendations. Thank you!

📢 Today is National Physician Su***de Awareness Day.

This has to stop. I recently heard that we lose 300-400 physicians every year — the size of two full med school classes.

As physician women, we are 2.5x more at risk than our peers. We must recognize this and take extra care of ourselves and each other. Patients who value their women physicians would be smart to show their appreciation. Support independent practices and other practices trying to make change for the better for their patients and physicians.

🗣 Let’s normalize talking about our mental health and demand that organizations do more to support us. The stigma surrounding mental health must end. Together, we can create change.

Yesterday's noted Lancet commission on dementia prevention, intervention, and care found that having ANY severity of traumatic brain injury (including mild TBI, that is, concussion) was associated with almost DOUBLE the risk of dementia. This is one of the newest identified modifiable risk factors, along with alcohol use and air pollution. Unlike genetics, which we can't change, we can prevent head injury by playing safe sports, avoiding or minimizing dangerous activities, wearing a helmet, etc - it is a behavior that people can change.

Did you know? A Lancet commission on dementia prevention, intervention, and care found that drinking more than 21 units per week was associated with about a 20% increase in dementia compared to drinking less than 14 units per week. In a 5-year longitudinal study in France of over 31 million people, men and women with alcohol use disorders had 3x more dementia risk than those without. 1 unit of alcohol is defined as 10mL or 8g of pure alcohol. This is what we call a modifiable risk factor, because unlike genetics, it is a behavior that people can change. It is one of the newer identified modifiable risk factors for dementia, along with head injury and air pollution.
