At Coastal Neurology & Wellness Center, we believe specialty care should be accessible, compassionate, and centered on the individual—not rushed or fragmented.

We are a nurse practitioner–owned neurology and chronic pain clinic serving patients throughout Delaware through a virtual-first care model. Our focus is on helping individuals living with chronic neurological conditions and pain regain function, confidence, and quality of life through evidence-based, personalized care.

What Makes Us Different

We understand that many patients face long wait times, brief appointments, and limited support when seeking neurological or chronic pain care. At Coastal Neurology & Wellness Center, we take a different approach:

  • Longer, unrushed appointments

  • Comprehensive neurological and pain-focused evaluations

  • Non-opioid, evidence-based treatment strategies

  • Strong emphasis on education and self-management

  • Care plans tailored to your life—not just your diagnosis

Our care model allows us to treat the whole person while addressing the complex overlap between neurology and chronic pain.

Our Approach

We specialize in the management of conditions such as:

  • Migraine and headache disorders

  • Neuropathic pain

  • Fibromyalgia and centralized pain syndromes

  • Post-concussion symptoms

  • Long COVID–related neurological concerns

Using a mix of in-person visits and a virtual platform, we are able to reach patients more quickly and conveniently, while maintaining high clinical standards and continuity of care.

Our Commitment

As nurse practitioners, we bring a holistic, patient-centered philosophy to specialty care. We believe patients deserve to be informed, empowered, and actively involved in their treatment decisions.

Our mission is to improve access to high-quality neurology and chronic pain care while building lasting, trusting relationships with our patients.

Coastal Neurology & Wellness Center — expert care, centered around you.

Patient Reviews

“Dr. Israel spent real time with me, gave me realistic expectations, listened to my concerns, asked questions, and made me feel so comfortable and listened to. First time in a while that I have hope and confidence in the care I am receiving.”

-CNWC Patient

“I have not had a neurologist in many years, not since I moved to Delaware, and getting to work with Stephen was refreshing. He was kind, organized, and thoughtful during our first interaction, and allowed me to have input into my treatment plan. I know I am in good hands. I would recommend the Israels to anyone looking for more personable, yet still professional, medical care.”

-CNWC Patient

“It was my first visit and Stephen was very thorough and spent a lot of time explaining my issues and how we can proceed and gauge my progress. I will be working with this practice for other services they provide.
I believe this Neurology and Wellness Center will be a wonderful addition to this area.”
