Falcon Medical Group Incorporation was founded on April 26, 2007 primarily as a sleep lab in the greater Orlando Florida. It had ad hoc sleep neurologists who used to interpret the sleep studies. Over the period of time, occasional video EEGs were done and a clinic was started. Dr. Jaivir Rathore and one of his former co-fellows from the Cleveland Clinic Epilepsy Center; joined the group as members of the advisory panel in 2020 during the peak of Covid-19 when not only the Falcon Medical Group was severely affected but the entire healthcare system of the United States was in distress. Falcon continued to serve its patients relentlessly and fared well during the hardship of Covid-19. At this critical juncture; in early 2022; Dr. Jaivir Rathore took charge of Falcon as its President, CEO and Medical Director after leaving his position as the Director of Epilepsy Section at one of the largest private medical groups, The Watson Clinic and the 5th largest hospital in the state of Florida, The Lakeland Regional Health. Dr. Rathore reinvented the practice and founded the DocJ's Advanced Neurology & Epilepsy Freedom Center, a center of excellence for seizures and a comprehensive neurological medical center with an additional clinic in Lady Lake, FL serving The Villages region (The largest retirement community in the entire world).
The DocJ's group is now serving one of the largest areas of central Florida in and around the greater Orlando metropolitan region. DocJ's now has state of the art 4 bed (adult and pediatrics) Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU), the oldest privately held EMU in the state of Florida, where routine office based as well as inpatient long term continuous monitoring (up to 7 days) Video EEG tests are done and if needed it has the capabilities to do cloud based Video EEGs at patient's home. The DocJ's Advanced Neurology & Epilepsy Freedom Center is now 'Care Connected" with the prestigious Mayo Clinic Jacksonville Florida especially for surgical cases. With this collaboration, we offer quick and timely tertiary and surgical care for our patients.
The DocJ's also offers a variety of clinical trials to its eligible patients and is now an international center for hands-on USCE Pre-Residency Training (PRT) Program for IMGs and clinical electives for international medical students; who dream to pursue their higher education in the USA. Its President and CEO, Dr. Jaivir S. Rathore, MD, FAES, FAAN, is one the select few epilepsy specialists in the state of Florida to be honored by the American Epilepsy Society in 2021 with its coveted award of "FAES" (Fellow of American Epilepsy Society), and FAAN by the American Academy of Neurology, a hallmark of several years of dedication, commitment and excellence in epilepsy and neurology clinical care, research and education.
