About Me
Carolyn D. Brockington, MD is the Director of the Stroke Center at Mount Sinai West and Mount Sinai Morningside in New York City. She is board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and has a subspecialty board certification in Vascular Neurology.
Dr. Brockington cares for patients in the emergency room, out-patient and hospital setting. One of her clinical interests is the treatment and prevention of stroke in minority communities (disparities in healthcare). Notably, the incidence of stroke and stroke-related mortality in the African-American and Hispanic communities is twice the rate found in Caucasian communities. She gives frequent lectures and provides stroke screenings to church and healthcare programs.
In addition, she works with the American Stroke Association (ASA), as a volunteer medical spokesperson, regarding a campaign to increase stroke awareness and highlight prevention strategies, particularly in underserved communities.
She was named one of “New York’s Best Doctors” by New York magazine in 2017-2020 and has written several articles about stroke related issues. She has participated with numerous TV health segments on local and national networks. Dr. Brockington received the Cullman Family Award for Excellence in Physician Communication in 2018 and 2020. The award is given to physicians ranked in the top 1% nationally in provider communication measured by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ Clinician and Group Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CC CAHPS) patient experience survey.
The state of Florida requires out-of-state professionals who are registered to provide telehealth services to display a hyperlink to the Florida Department of Health telehealth web page. This allows Florida patients who are receiving medical care by telehealth to confirm the provider’s licensure and Florida registration.

Patient Experience Star Ratings and Comments
The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
