We welcome you to the BrainCare Performance Center and would like to tell you a little more about us and our clinic. Gilbert Mbeo, MD is a triple board-certified physician who specializes in Neurology, NeuroIntensive Care, and Interventional Pain Management, with over 13 years of experience providing evidence-based, high-quality care to patients with acute neurological needs including acute stroke, neuromuscular respiratory failure, status epilepticus, and brain and spinal cord trauma.
Dr. Mbeo is a Neurointensivist, meaning that not only does he have an in-depth understanding of neurology and neurological conditions, but his expertise is also about the care of critically ill neurologic patients with acute brain, spine, and neuromuscular disorders. This specialty is also referred to as neurologic intensive care, critical care neurology, and neurocritical care.
His vision was to establish a state-of-the-art facility where cutting-edge interventions would be used to enhance neurological recovery in patients and this is exactly why he founded the Brain, Spine, Pain Institute of Lake Nona in Orlando, Florida.
After learning about the brain healing effects of neuromodulation Dr. Mbeo established the Brain Treatment Center Orlando in order to use interventions like cognitive rehabilitation, Magnetic Resonance Therapy (MeRT), and transcranial magnetic stimulation as non-invasive treatment options for an array of neurological conditions.
About Us
Our Mission Statement
Our Mission is to explore the concept that the brain can be treated by physical means that are not chemical and non-invasive. We believe that the relationship between cognition and neural activity is possible. This is an innovative and informed approach to non-invasive neuromodulation. Our dedicated team of neuroscientists and physicians believe in delivering individualized treatment. This allows patients to achieve a healthier life for people with various neurological issues.”
Our Goal
Our evidence-based method is unique because we focus on the physiology of the brain. We are able to map and reveal communications in the brain’s neural networks. As a result, we’re able to take a personalized and targeted approach. This is based on your brain rhythm, encouraging healthy brain communication activity. Our goal is to empower minds.”
