Robert Cai, MD · Neurology & Epilepsy
EEG expertise, independent medical review, and neurology education
I'm Robert Cai, MD: board-certified neurologist (ABPN, American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology); board-eligible and fellowship-trained in epilepsy; community faculty, University of Nevada, Reno. I read EEGs for clinical organizations, consult for attorneys and review companies, and teach EEG to the people who record and read it.
What I Offer
Three ways I work
Business and education inquiries are for organizations and professionals. Clinical EEG interpretation requires a separately agreed organizational engagement.
EEG Interpretation
Remote interpretation of routine, ambulatory and continuous EEG recordings by a board-certified neurologist (ABPN); board-eligible and fellowship-trained in epilepsy; community faculty, University of Nevada, Reno. Subject to confirmed availability and required credentialing.
Learn more →Medicolegal & Peer Review
Medical record review, peer and utilization review, and expert witness consultation in neurology and epilepsy.
Learn more →Education & Media
The Neurology Desk: free videos, an EEG case newsletter, and a self-paced EEG course.
Learn more →Remote EEG Interpretation
EEG interpretation by a board-certified neurologist (ABPN)
For clinics, hospitals and EEG services, inquire about remote EEG interpretation by a board-certified neurologist (ABPN); board-eligible and fellowship-trained in epilepsy; community faculty, University of Nevada, Reno. Availability, review frequency, turnaround, urgent-result communication and coverage hours are agreed in writing before service begins. Services depend on applicable licensure, institutional credentialing and an appropriate secure workflow. Reports are written to be clear for the ordering clinician: what was recorded, what it means, and what it does not show.
What I read
- Routine EEG
- Ambulatory EEG
- Interpretation of continuous EEG recordings under an agreed coverage plan
How it works
- Studies reviewed through your existing EEG platform or secure remote access
- Interpretation is subject to jurisdiction-specific licensure and institutional requirements, confirmed before engagement.
- Credentialing paperwork available on request
Medicolegal & Peer Review
Independent neurology review for legal and insurance matters
I provide objective neurology and epilepsy opinions for attorneys, independent review organizations, and insurers, grounded in the medical record and current evidence.
Medical record review
Careful review of neurology and epilepsy records with clear written reports.
Peer & utilization review
Independent peer and utilization review of neurology care and treatment requests.
Expert witness consultation
Case consultation and expert opinions, including deposition and trial testimony.
Expert witness rates are listed on the For attorneys page; other fee schedules and availability are provided on request. Medicolegal and review engagements do not create a physician-patient relationship.
YouTube
Free neurology education videos
I explain common neurology questions in short, sourced videos. Education only, not medical advice; in an emergency call 911.
Possible dementia warning signs beyond memory: changes in language, judgment, attention or familiar daily tasks can also matter. These changes are not a diagnosis; discuss new or worsening symptoms with a qualified clinician. CDC guidance.
Some medicines can affect memory or attention. Do not stop or change prescribed medicines without speaking with your prescribing clinician.
Education & Media
The Neurology Desk
The Neurology Desk is my education project: plain-language neurology for the public, and practical EEG training for technologists, trainees, and nurses. Education only; not medical advice.

@TheNeurologyDesk
Jerking can occur during fainting. In a 1994 experiment in healthy volunteers, it occurred in 38 of 42 episodes of complete induced syncope. This does not estimate how often jerking occurs in everyday fainting, and jerking alone does not distinguish fainting from an epileptic seizure. Study source.
Neurologist-led explainers on brain health after 50: memory and early brain changes, medications and brain fog, neuropathy, and more. Education only; not medical advice.
