Who We Are

Our journey began with a deep connection to the Gulf Coast community during Dr. Rini's neurology residency. Inspired by the warmth and resilience of its people, we made a heartfelt pledge to enhance the region's healthcare landscape. From our base in New Orleans, we are diligently crafting a world-class neurocognitive disorder program and referral center.

Fueled by our steadfast dedication to the community, we recognize the formidable impact of unified support and shared compassion. We firmly believe that through mutual assistance, we not only elevate others but also fortify ourselves. Therefore, we are resolutely committed to cultivating a culture defined by empathy, collaboration, and empowerment.

Our vision extends far beyond the confines of our clinic walls. We are actively laying the groundwork for expansion, with plans to reach even more individuals through comprehensive education, multidisciplinary collaboration, and intra-hospital partnerships.

At Mind the Gulf, we are not just building a healthcare institution; we are nurturing a movement—a movement rooted in the belief that true wellness begins with caring for one another.
