About Dr. Puente
I’m Dr. Michael Puente, and my journey to the U.S. began in 1961 when, at just two years old, I was placed on the last “freedom flight” out of Havana, Cuba to reunite with my parents in Miami. I later completed my undergraduate studies at Tulane University, graduating Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa.
As a board-certified neurologist, I take a holistic approach to patient care, with a strong focus on how lifestyle—especially diet—impacts neurological health. Stroke prevention is a particular area of interest for me, and I often emphasize the risks of unhealthy eating habits and smoking as major contributors to vascular disease.
In addition to general neurology, I specialize in stroke, migraines and headaches, neuromuscular disorders, memory disorders, and seizure conditions. I'm also actively involved in clinical research to advance stroke treatment options.
