GARDNERVILLE, Nev. (Dec. 22, 2015) – Carson Valley Health is pleased to announce the addition of neurology specialist Michael P. Sullivan, MD to the team of healthcare providers serving the Carson Valley. 

Sullivan is a board-certified neurologist who brings over 30 years of experience in the field of neurology, a specialty field that has not been available locally for some time.

Fellowship-trained in neurophysiology and board certified in electroencephalography, Sullivan’s expertise adds to the scope of services offered through Carson Valley Health. With Sullivan’s practice, the Carson Valley now has access to electroencephalography (monitoring of the brain waves, often used to detect sleep disorders and epilepsy) and electromyography (evaluation of the activity of the skeletal muscles, often used to detect neuromuscular diseases or study kinesiology). 

An outdoor enthusiast, Michael Sullivan has served at the remote Himalayan Rescue Association clinic in Manang, Nepal, as well as Expedition Physician for climbs of Mount Everest, Aconcagua, Denali and Pik Communism.  He has lived in northern Nevada for 22 years and continues to enjoy numerous outdoor adventure activities including diving, climbing and flying.
