Mohammad “Isaac” Kayyali, MD

Becoming a physician was driven by my fascination with how medicine shapes human experience—especially through the lens of brain health. The brain and its complexity reflect the individuality of each one of us, and that inspires the personalized care I strive to provide. My interest in brain imaging and drug delivery began during my postdoctoral fellowship at UPenn, which have laid the foundation for my practice, from treating vascular lesions to exploring focused therapies for headache management. Outside of medicine, I enjoy riding my bike along Raleigh green trails—a constant reminder of the inherent beauty of life and the blessing of being able to help others.
