Bio

Dr. Majersik is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at the University of Utah, School of Medicine. After receiving her B.S. in Physics from Harvey Mudd College (Claremont, CA), she served in the Air Force as a Scientific Analyst at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base National Air Intelligence Center. In 1997, she attended medical school at University of Vermont (Burlington, VT) where she fell in love with the neurosciences. She completed internship and neurology residency at the University of Utah and then decided to seek additional expertise in stroke by completing a vascular neurology fellowship at University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, MI). While at Michigan, she earned a master's degree in clinical research design and biostatistics through their School of Public Health.

In 2008, Dr. Majersik returned to Salt Lake City to establish her vascular neurology practice within the Stroke Center at the University of Utah. Her clinical practice includes evaluating and treating acute strokes in the hospital and emergency department, managing patients on the inpatient general neurology service, and providing outpatient consultation in the stroke clinic, including urgent referrals. She has a particular interest in rare single gene disorders causing stroke (such as CADASIL), hypercoaguable states (such as Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome), and vascular malformations (such as cavernous malformations and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasias). She also provides emergency consultation to stroke patients at community hospitals via the telestroke network.

In 2010, she became Director of the University of Utah Stroke Center in addition to her position as Fellowship Director. Dr. Majersik is currently studying the genetic underpinnings of stroke in large families in Utah and more common polygenetic disorders leading to increased risk of stroke.

She lives here in Salt Lake City and enjoys hiking the mountains and raising her family.

She is a great Dr. and very bright. She was friendly and I felt like she really cared. She spent a long time going through my records, formulating a plan of care, and answering my questions and explaining my condition. She was very straighforward about explaining what she can and cannot treat, as well as explaining what her thoughts were to help my symptoms as naturally as possible and progressing from there.

Excellent

It was wonderful to have a doctor actually communicateâ¿¿to tell me, and show me what she could see in my scans. I really appreciated having the doctor treat me like a real person with real concerns who deserved to be treated with kindness, friendliness, and respect.

we generally have a short wait to see her but then she spends lots of time with us and is never rushed. She is definitely worth waiting for.

Dr. Majercik covered every aspect of my stroke followup in a professional and friendly manner. She was very clear about what happened, the med's for the past month, getting the preliminary report from e-Cardio to show wave forms out of normal pattern over the past month, and sending me out with her specific follow-up actions regarding consultation with others and reevaluating the coumadin vs. aspirin medication plan. She is an excellent representative of the neurology department.

This entire clinic was outstanding; from the registration to the physician who was incredible. The difference between this clinic and the Neurology Memory program in research park is unbelivievable. Thank-you

Waiting fro the resules of the test ordered by my care provider.

Dr. Majersik was very personable. As the student gave her information about our visit, we were invited to correct or clarify. Dr. M. called up Jim's MRI results and took time to show them to us. She explained some trial research he might like to participate in and explained additional tests she wanted him to have.
