Dr. Robert Steven Trainor
Neurologist
Dr. Robert “Steven” Trainor is excited to join the Dr. Brain team. A Louisiana native, Dr. Trainor attended Louisiana State University and LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans. He then completed his Neurology residency and Vascular Neurology fellowship training at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. During and following this training, he developed his affinity for providing stroke care in the acute and chronic phases of disease and learned how the treatment choices in the early phase of stroke can lay the groundwork for recovery. In addition to treating acute and chronic stroke including post-stroke spasticity treatment with botulinum toxic injections, Dr. Trainor is also interested in the treatment of seizure disorders, neuroinflammatory diseases, migraine and headache syndromes, and dementia. Upon returning to Louisiana, he developed procedures for providing acute stroke care at the New Orleans VA, where he served as the Acting Chief of the Neurology Service and taught LSU and Tulane Neurology residents and medical students as the GME site director and student clerkship director. He is a member of the American Academy of Neurology, American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, and was selected for the medical honor society Alpha Omega Alpha. His mission is person-centered care arising from a place of optimism and alliance.
