The Medical Staff of South Georgia Medical Center welcomes Jason R. Mallin, MD as a hospital-based neurologist. Dr. Mallin comes to Valdosta from New York where he worked as a neurologist at New York Neurological Associates. In Valdosta, Dr. Mallin joins SGMC’s thriving Stroke Program that functions under the leadership of Neurohospitalist Brian Dawson, MD.

“I am very impressed by the successes here,” Dr. Mallin explained. “Dr. Dawson and his team introduced standardization of stroke care and many people are benefiting from their work. I am proud to come into an established program where people care so much.”

The subspecialty of neurology is a second medical career for Dr. Mallin. He spent several years as an Internal Medicine Hospitalist working in South Carolina and Maine before he went into neurology. He says internal medicine gave him a different perspective on stroke care because great differences have taken place between then and now. 

Dr. Mallin’s preference for the warm Southern climate and the chance to work with an outstanding Stroke Program are two reasons why he moved to Valdosta. Dr. Dawson and Dr. Mallin will work alternating weeks to provide in-hospital neurology services.
