Dr Sanad Esmail
Consultant Neurologist
BSc, MBBCh, MPhil, MRCP
I am a Consultant Neurologist with clinical expertise in all aspects of general neurology for patients aged 18 and over.
I have clinical expertise in general neurology, headache, movement disorders, multiple sclerosis, dementia, epilepsy, peripheral neuropathy, neuromuscular disorders, muscle disease, acute neurology and functional neurological disorders.
I have a subspecialty interest in headache and migraine disorders with NHS experience in running refractory headache clinics. I lead the headache service at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) and I run regular cranial botulinum toxin clinics for patients with chronic medically-refractory migraine.
I am a member of the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) and I sit on the RCP board for the neurology exit examinations and the specialty question writing group for the MRCP (UK) post-graduate examinations.
Patients wishing to seek advice and treatment for Botulinum toxin treatment for chronic migraine are asked to book their appointment via our Outpatients Booking Team as opposed to online via the booking portal.
