Dr. Hos Loftus, a board-certified neurologist and founder of Carolinas Institute for Neurology and Psychology, has been named a 2025 Castle Connolly Top Doctor, recognizing his commitment to comprehensive, integrated care for patients in Gaston and Cleveland counties. The designation, awarded through peer nominations and a rigorous review process, highlights Dr. Loftus's innovative model that combines neurology and psychology under one roof.
At Carolinas Institute for Neurology and Psychology, Dr. Loftus offers in-house diagnostic and therapeutic services, including neurocognitive testing, advanced infusion treatments for Alzheimer's disease, and comprehensive genetic testing. This integrated approach allows patients to receive advanced evaluations and treatments in a single, coordinated environment, reducing the need for multiple referrals and fragmented care. The practice addresses a wide spectrum of neurological conditions, such as chronic headaches, vision disturbances, sensory loss, neuropathic pain, muscle weakness, nerve impingements, movement disorders, epilepsy, syncope, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and post-head injury complications.
“This recognition is a great honor, but also a responsibility,” Dr. Loftus stated. “I now have to try even harder to prove I am deserving of this recognition, which means offering the highest standard of medical care with genuine empathy.” His patient-centered philosophy combines thorough evaluations, evidence-based treatments, and the latest diagnostic technologies to alleviate symptoms and enhance quality of life.
Dr. Loftus is a graduate of Tehran University of Medical Sciences and completed his neurology residency at Boston Medical Center. He pursued advanced fellowships at Cleveland Clinic, Emory University, and the University of Washington, and is certified in neurology by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. The Castle Connolly Top Doctor selection process involves peer nominations and a physician-led review that considers medical education, training, hospital appointments, and disciplinary histories. Doctors cannot pay to be selected.
