Robert Cai, MD · Neurology & Epilepsy
EEG expertise, independent medical review, and neurology education
I'm Robert Cai, MD, an ABPN board-certified neurologist with fellowship training in epilepsy. 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
Every engagement is handled personally by Dr. Cai, for organizations and professionals rather than individual patients.
EEG Interpretation
Routine, ambulatory, and continuous long-term EEG reading by a fellowship-trained epileptologist, delivered remotely.
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 fellowship-trained epileptologist
I read EEGs remotely for clinics, hospitals, and EEG services that need timely, careful interpretation from a neurologist trained in epilepsy. 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
- Continuous long-term EEG monitoring
How it works
- Studies reviewed through your existing EEG platform or secure remote access
- Interpretation limited to states where I hold an active medical license (currently Nevada and California)
- 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.
Fee schedules and availability are provided on request. Medicolegal and review engagements do not create a physician-patient relationship.
