Where Your Story Matters as Much as Your Symptoms.
​
At Direct Neurology, we believe that neurological care should be as unique as the person receiving it. Too often, the healthcare system feels like a conveyor belt—fast-paced and impersonal. We’ve changed that. By blending advanced medical expertise with genuine human connection, we’ve created a practice where you are a partner, not just a patient.
​
We offer comprehensive 90 min first time visits available same or next week in our office or at your home or place of work.
​
​ The best time to protect your brain health is now
We go beyond treating symptoms to focus on proactive prevention and early detection. Whether you are seeking answers for a current concern or looking to safeguard your cognitive future, we provide a clear, personalized roadmap for lifelong neurological wellness.
​
For those patients already suffering from progressive cognitive decline we offer: specialized diagnosis, personalized treatment plans and caregiver support in Walnut Creek and surrounding areas, traveling if needed up to 50 miles to get to patients. .

Expert Medical Insight Meets Genuine Human Connection
"Wow! Dr. Sadikovic was awesome. She was able to interact efficiently and effectively we my mother and me. She connected emotionally with my mother and was able to conduct some testing. After the testing, she was able to explain things so that both of us understood. Great bedside manner and staff was quick and friendly as well. Thank you so much!"
About Dr. Sadikovic
I founded Direct Neurology inspired by one principle: “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” We provide personalized, specialized care designed to maintain your brain health and give you peace of mind.
Born to physician parents, I was inspired early by their compassion and dedication to helping others. After moving to the U.S., I earned a B.S. in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley, conducted neurobiology research at UCSF, received my medical degree from UC Davis School of Medicine, and completed a neurology residency at North Shore University Hospital and a vascular fellowship at UC San Diego. I have cared for patients across hospital, telehealth, and clinic settings, focusing on aging-related neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.
​
Frustrated by the limitations of traditional insurance-based care, I founded Direct Neurology in 2024 to provide a concierge, membership-based model emphasizing proactive, personalized, and prevention-focused care. Our goal is to help patients optimize neurological health through expertise, attentive partnership, and continuous support
What Patients Love About Direct Neurology
In a traditional healthcare "treadmill," neurological care is often reactive—focusing on problems only after they arise. At Direct Neurology, our membership model allows us to step off that treadmill and put the focus back where it belongs: on you.
A Proactive vs. Reactive Approach
​
Standard care often waits for a crisis. Our membership focus is on longevity and prevention. By utilizing advanced cognitive screenings and personalized brain-health tracking, we aim to detect subtle changes early—giving us the best chance to protect your cognitive health for years to come.
Coordination of Care
​
We act as your dedicated brain-health advocate. If you need referrals, advanced imaging, or coordination with your primary care physician, we handle the details. We ensure your entire medical team is on the same page, reducing the stress of navigating a complex system alone.
Protecting & Optimizing Brain Health
​​
Membership includes holistic, personalized care to preserve and strengthen cognitive function as you age. From early detection to lifestyle guidance, we help you maintain clarity and long-term wellness.
Direct Access to Your Neurologist
​
The "Direct" in our name means exactly that. Membership eliminates the layers of bureaucracy, long hold times, and month-long waits for an appointment. When you have a concern, you have a direct line to your doctor, ensuring peace of mind and faster clinical decisions.
Time to Be Heard
Neurological health is complex and deeply personal. It cannot be rushed into a 15-minute insurance-mandated slot. Our model guarantees extended appointments, allowing us to dive deep into your history, lifestyle, and goals. We believe that truly listening is the first step toward an accurate diagnosis.​
Transparent, Predictable Costs
​
No "surprise" bills or complex insurance denials for your office visits. A simple, transparent membership fee covers your neurological care, allowing us to focus entirely on what is medically best for you, rather than what an insurance company approves.
The Bottom Line:
You aren’t just paying for a doctor’s visit; you are investing in a dedicated partner for your brain health. In the heart of Walnut Creek, we provide the sophisticated, high-touch care that our community expects and deserves.
