What does Jaime Velie do at Neuroscience Group?
Jaime is a neurology APNP at Neuroscience Group who works across two distinct care settings: she supports the acute care needs of patients during hospitalizations in the inpatient setting, and she cares for headache and migraine patients in the outpatient neurology clinic at Appleton and Neenah. Her dual inpatient and outpatient role means she has clinical experience managing neurological conditions both in high-acuity hospital situations and in the long-term outpatient management context. She works directly alongside Dr. Brian Jenkins, the Director of Headache Medicine at Neuroscience Group and a Cleveland Clinic-trained headache specialist, as part of the collaborative care team model.
What is the difference between seeing Jaime Velie and a physician at Neuroscience Group?
As an Advanced Practice Nurse Practitioner, Jaime works collaboratively with and under the oversight of the neurology physicians at Neuroscience Group, specifically alongside Dr. Brian Jenkins. She is ANCC board-certified and trained to evaluate, manage, and educate patients across the neurology scope, with a particular focus on headache and migraine care. Her inpatient hospital experience adds a clinical depth that is uncommon among outpatient-only APNPs, making her well-suited for patients whose neurological conditions require or have required hospital-level evaluation. For headache and migraine patients in particular, Jaime provides consistent, attentive ongoing care as part of one of the most credentialed headache programs in Northeast Wisconsin.
What conditions does Jaime Velie help manage?
Jaime has a particular clinical focus on headache and migraine care, working within Neuroscience Group's comprehensive headache program alongside Dr. Jenkins. She also manages the acute neurological care needs of patients during hospitalizations, which gives her familiarity with a broad range of neurological conditions across the full spectrum of acuity. In the outpatient clinic she supports patients managing chronic headache disorders including migraine, as well as other neurological conditions seen by the neurology team. Her emphasis on patient education means she takes particular care to help patients understand their diagnosis, their medication, and how to engage actively in managing their condition over time.
What is Jaime's approach to patient care?
Jaime believes that an educated patient is a more satisfied and better-supported patient. She places significant emphasis on explaining disease conditions and medications clearly and thoroughly, so that patients leave each visit with a genuine understanding of what is happening and why. Her goal is to provide compassionate, educational, and effective care while working collaboratively with each patient to improve their quality of life. She views education not as an add-on to clinical care but as a central part of it, and her dual inpatient and outpatient experience gives her the clinical breadth to support patients across the full range of situations they may encounter in managing neurological illness.
