C linic a l Activiti e s

Clinical expertise: Inpatient and outpatient neurorehabilitation; Botulinum toxin injection for dystonia and spasticity; Baclofen intrathecal pump evaluation and management; Cerebrovascular disease; Movement disorders; General neurology.

George F. Wittenberg, MD, PhD p. 3 Scope of clinical practice: UMROI: cover CVA and Traumatic Brain Injury inpatient services (approx. 50 patients) every fifth weekend and additional holidays.

VAMHCS Baltimore, Neurology Consults and Outpatient attending one month a year, with approximately 20 new consults and 240 outpatients during that time.

UMMC, Brain Attack Team and Stroke Inpatient attending, one half- month each year. Approximately four admissions and two new consults each day.

Neurology Outpatient Center (Frenkil Bldg.): Brain Health and Spasticity outpatient practice twice a month (Initiated 2013.)

Total time spent in clinical duties: equivalent of 70 working days/year.

Innovative techniques that have changed or influenced practice: botulinum toxin injection of spastic muscles of upper or lower extremities, followed by functional electrical stimulation of paretic muscles of the same limb.

Modifications to clinical enterprise: helped design better process for screening patients for Brain Health and Spasticity Clinic, with more physician input to decisions regarding baclofen intrathecal therapy and better communication regarding intrathecal baclofen trials. Also started new practice in Frenkil Building in partnership with UMMC PT service.

Development of clinical program’s administrative service:

2005-2006 Interim Director of Rehabilitation Program of the Wake Forest University Dept. of Neurology. Directed physicians who comprised the Rehabilitation group within the Department of Neurology. Responsibilities included recruitment, practice issues, and coordination with School of Medicine and NC Baptist Hospital administration.
