Biography

Sravani Mehta, MD, is double board certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation, with subspecialty in brain-injury medicine. At her practice, Brain and Stroke Care: Sravani Mehta, MD, she specializes in restoring function following an injury, illness, or disabling condition, helping each patient maximize their recovery and enjoy the most rewarding life experiences possible.

While Dr. Mehta worked as the medical director of TriStar Summit Rehab, she saw the critical need for outpatient physical medicine and rehabilitation, or physiatric services, especially for those with stroke, brain injury, or concussion. With that as her motivation, Dr. Mehta opened her practice in Nashville, Tennessee, where they welcome all patients and offer the expertise that’s especially beneficial following a hospitalization.

A native of Nashville, Dr. Mehta is excited to return to her hometown after training at the State University of New York Upstate in Syracuse and practicing academic medicine at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. In addition to her medical training and experience in rehabilitation, she’s also licensed in acupuncture and an instructor of qi gong.

Dr. Mehta treats more than each patient’s physical health. She provides holistic care that considers patients’ social, emotional, and vocational well-being. She’s an expert in post-stroke care, spinal cord injuries, concussion, migraines, cerebral palsy, and multiple sclerosis.

Dr. Mehta founded Re-Able, a non-profit organization, to help support brain injury and stroke survivors and their families during the recovery process. Re-Able is committed to create awareness about Life After Brain Injury to the public, reduce impairments after stroke and brain injury, promote community re-integration of all persons who are affected by stroke and brain injury, and help stroke and brain injury survivors achieve the highest quality of life possible. Re-able aims to serve as a “hub” for resources for brain injury and stroke survivors and help patients with the next steps after an acute injury, connect patients with service providers in areas who are familiar with brain injury that assist with community reintegration; Provide support programs to foster outreach for assistance to people in need, with attention to the basic necessities, offer information about Brain Injury and Stroke recovery, and provide opportunities for brain injury and stroke survivors to connect with others.
