Meet Dr. Carolyn Aldendail
Founder and Director of Neurology Explained
I’m Dr. Carolyn Aldendail, a doctor who believes that patients deserve explanations they can actually understand.
I’m board-certified in Neurology and in Electrodiagnostic Medicine, which is testing of the nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body.
After experiencing medicine first as a confused patient and later as a rushed physician, I’ve seen how time pressure and medical language can erode connection. I created Neurology Explained to bring clarity, dignity, and teaching back into modern neurological care.
Helping you feel informed, confident, and better equipped to navigate your care.
When Neurology Feels Overwhelming
Neurology can feel overwhelming. Medical words can be confusing. Appointments can feel rushed. You might leave wondering what really matters, what is serious, what is manageable, and what questions you should have asked.
Neurology Explained exists to break that down.
This space is for clear, human explanations about neurology. What symptoms can mean. What questions are worth asking. What treatment choices may be available.
We share careful explanations based on research and delivered with warmth. Because when things make sense, they feel more manageable.
