Caitlin Hof, MD, always felt a calling toward medicine, and with a fascination of the brain in her elementary years, her path in life was sealed. Today, she expresses her passion as a neurology expert at Avera Medical Group Neurology in Sioux Falls, SD.
Expert Care in Neurology
The ever-changing frontier of discoveries drives Dr. Hof’s interest to stay on the cusp of learning about the newest treatments so she can deliver the most effective care.
As an expert in brain health, Dr. Hof cares for several neurological conditions, including:
- Stroke
- Guillain-Barré syndrome
- Vasculitis
- Multiple sclerosis
Specializing in Stroke Care
Dr. Hof’s subspecialty is stroke care. She enjoys being a part of the region’s most comprehensive stroke team.
They care for the two main types of stroke:
- Ischemic – occurs when blood is not able to reach part of the brain due to a blockage
- Hemorrhagic – caused by bleeding out of an artery in the brain
“I’m excited that our multidisciplinary team can offer more treatments, like clot-busting medications or endovascular neurosurgery, that makes a difference in the outcome of stroke,” she said.
Active Lifestyle
When she’s not at work, Dr. Hof enjoys spending time with her spouse and dogs, as well as cooking and gardening.
