Biography
As a general neurologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, with over 28 years of practice, I believe in caring for patients the way I want to be cared for. To me, this means being friendly, efficient and running on time.
I enjoy working with my patients and explaining diagnosis and treatment plans, as well as answering questions they may have. I try to always be friendly with superb bedside manner. Additionally, I generally answer all phone calls and emails within four hours.
My favorite part about working at Ohio State is the ability we have to collaborate with subspecialists to provide outstanding care to our patients, as well as collaborating with those conducting meaningful research in neurology.
When I'm not working, I enjoy spending my free time drumming in a band, bicycling and working on my wife's 'to do list.'

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. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
As of 11/3/2025, Brian Fahey has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
He was fantastic! Very friendly and you can tell he's passionate about his job and taking care of his patient. He took his time, did a thorough exam and spoke to me in terms he knew I could understand. I liked him very much.
I love my Dr. He always answers my questions and provides direct detailed answers
Great
Answered questions I needed and gave me where I stand now and down the road
Provider didn't seem very thorough -- just basic small hands tests. Over three months before an opening for cognitive test
Great care
Great
He is very thorough. He thinks outside the box and checked something that he thought might be a problem. It turned out to be a very big problem and I am being treated for that now also.
No complaints
Listened well and accurately documented our conversation.
Good
He reviewed the reason for my visit and very quickly concluded with his diagnosis. I did not feel that he listened to me very well and he did not give me time to ask questions.
Been searching for answers for headaches for 3 yrs. I think I'm on the right path now.
Explained everything with confidence and knowledge. A well trained and seasoned veteran.
Dr Fahey is very responsive to my questions and explains well. He is still trying to figure out what the base cause of my issues are.
Dr Fahey was exceptional!
He explained everything that was going to happen and also while it was happening
Always great!
Was good experience. Was thoughtful.
Both listened and explained more than any provider I have had at OSU since my illness started.
