Miguel (Mike) Pappolla, MD, PhD

I've spent my career doing one thing: helping patients with complex neurological conditions get accurate answers and real relief. Whether you're recovering from a traumatic brain injury, managing chronic pain, or trying to understand a new diagnosis, I'm here to listen — and to help.

I completed my medical training with a dual focus in neurology and research, earning both an MD and a PhD. That scientific foundation shapes the way I approach every patient — I don't guess. As a TBI specialist and concussion expert in Houston, I use advanced diagnostics, evidence-based protocols, and a thorough understanding of how the brain and nervous system work to arrive at the most accurate diagnosis possible.

My practice philosophy is simple: every patient deserves my full attention. I take the time to understand not just your symptoms, but your life — your work, your goals, and what getting better means to you. That's the only way to build a treatment plan that actually works.
