About Me
I try to provide the best medical care possible to all my patients. I listen to patients and respond to their wishes and concerns in developing a treatment plan.
I specialize in stroke treatment. I became interested in stroke treatment as an intern when I mentored with a stroke neurologist. I’m also interested in the genetic and hereditary aspects of stroke.
I’m involved in a number of clinical trials that relate to stroke treatment and secondary prevention of stroke.
My favorite part about working at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is the intellectual stimulation of my colleagues.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, reading and watching movies.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care.

He was the best.
He was a good listener and explained what happened to me..
I felt like my providers focused a lot on my previous visit and didn't show as much concern for my current issues I was there for. Some issues seemed to be shrugged off, and to me they were more important.

My experience was good; although, he was unable to help with my chronic condition.
Our cre provider was on time, thorough, honest, and very helpful.
Excellent provider
He seemed to dismiss my concerns as if I wasn't competent to understand. I left without him giving me any explanations for what I am experiencing- as if it is "all in my head". Well , of course it is and it is real! That's why I went to a neurologist!!
He really cared and listened to what I had to say
Everything was excellent

Saw Dr. Morevco first. Very impressed he spent lots of time listening to my situation, typing in the notes, evaluating my physical abilities, and explaining my episode. Then he went to discuss with Dr. Slivak. Not as comprehensive but obviously Dr. Slivak had read my notes and discussed me with Dr. Morevco. I was very impressed with both the doctors. Obviously educated on my situation and concerned I knew what was happening.
Very informative, very concerned, very pleasant.
