Dr. Sattin specializes in the prevention, evaluation and treatment of acute stroke. He provides care in the emergency department as well as follow-up care in the Stroke Clinic. When a patient has a stroke, Dr. Sattin focuses on finding out why the stroke occurred.

I work very hard to maintain communication skills — translating medical science into patient-friendly language — so patients and families can make decisions in what are often high-pressure situations.
