Mission Statement

Newport Beach Neurologists specializes in the treatment of pain, severe chronic headache, and memory assessment.

Our guiding philosophy is that pain can stem from the body, the mind, or both. Thus, we are structured as an integrative entity equipped with all resources-medical, psychiatric, and psychological-to help patients manage pain and memory loss.

Our practice is headed by C. Philip O'Carroll, M.D., and Scott Ferer, M.D. Dr. O'Carroll is a board-certified neurologist and nationally recognized expert and medical lecturer in the treatment of migraine headache. Dr. Ferer, also a noted lecturer in his field, is a board-certified neurologist, specializing in Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. The entire staff brings 50 years of combined professional medical experience in treating severe pain and diseases and disorders of the brain and the nervous system. In addition to Drs. O'Carroll and Ferer, specialists in the fields of psychiatry, and clinical psychology are in permanent residence. Anesthesiologists are also available for referral.

Located in Newport Beach, California, the practice is part of a major medical complex, providing easy and immediate access to state-of-the-art diagnostic laboratories, complete hospital facilities and services, physical therapy, as well as a wide range of medical practitioners in all fields of specialization.

The Newport Beach Headache Institute (NBHI) was founded in 1986 by Dr. O'Carroll. The institute is a multi-disciplinary approach to the chronic headache sufferer.
