Nicholas Telischak, MD, MS
Clinical Associate Professor, Radiology
Clinical Associate Professor (By courtesy), NeurosurgeryBioA native of the Bay Area, Dr. Nick Telischak is a dual fellowship-trained neurointerventional surgeon and neuroradiologist at Stanford Health Care. With board certifications in radiology and neuroradiology, he serves as a clinical associate professor in the Department of Radiology, and, by courtesy of the Department of Neurosurgery, at Stanford School of Medicine.
Dr. Telischak specializes in diagnosing and treating artery disorders in the brain and spine, including brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVM), and dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF), and stroke. Dr. Telischak also specializes in venous disorders in the brain including idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). He also has a special interest in pulsatile tinnitus, a whooshing sound in the ears that occurs in rhythm with the heartbeat. Dr. Telischak also treats painful spinal (vertebral) fractures, spinal metastases (tumors resulting from cancer elsewhere in the body), and congenital vascular malformations (blood vessel abnormalities that are present at birth). He treats these conditions using minimally invasive, image-guided procedures and state-of-the-art technology.
Prior to joining Stanford Health Care, Dr. Telischak helped develop the Stroke Program at California Pacific Medical Center and Mills-Peninsula Medical Center, giving him a broad perspective on medical care systems within the Bay Area.
Dr. Telischak’s research focuses on:
• Identifying biomarkers to diagnose large vessel occlusion stroke (stroke in one of the large arteries in the brain)
• Noninvasive MRI techniques for diagnosing idiopathic intracranial hypertension (high pressure within the skull)
He is also the principal investigator for a study examining the efficacy of vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty for the treatment of painful vertebral compression fractures.
In addition, Dr. Telischak holds a master’s degree in bioengineering. He has worked with several companies pioneering new devices to treat brain aneurysms, vascular malformations, and strokes caused by blood clots, as well as new treatments for venous disorders in the brain caused by idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
Dr. Telischak has published more than 20 peer-reviewed articles and has been invited to present locally, nationally, and internationally at meetings for the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery, American Society of Neuroradiology, and Jornada de Stroke in Asuncion, Paraguay, where he has served as visiting faculty. -

Michael Temprano
Juris Doctor Student, Law
BioAs a 1L at Stanford Law School, I am excited to pursue high-stakes complex litigation. Before joining SLS, I worked as a paralegal at a trial law firm, where I drafted complaints, motions, demand letters, mediation/trial briefs, and liability memos. Though I initially joined the firm as part of the Pre-Litigation department, I eventually transitioned to the Litigation team. My experience across both departments equips me with an understanding of case development. Prior to my role as a paralegal, I interned at Bay Area Legal Aid, where I assisted over 1,000 pro se litigants with various civil legal matters. In recognition of my academic excellence and community service, the Cal Alumni Association honored me as a 2x Leadership Award recipient.
Extending my work ethic from the firm to the classroom, I graduated summa cum laude from UC Berkeley with a cumulative 4.00 GPA. Through UC Berkeley's Honors Sociology program, I wrote a socio-legal thesis titled "Litigating on the Public Radar: Class Action Accessibility & Transparency in California's Northern District." This thesis won the Departmental Citation, the highest honor awarded to one graduating senior for best undergraduate research and outstanding academic achievement. In addition to my coursework, I served as a Legal Research Fellow at Berkeley Law’s Civil Justice Research Initiative, where I briefed SCOTUS cases and analyzed settlement distribution in federal class actions. I also led as President of UC Berkeley’s Latine Pre-Law Society. In my free time, I volunteered at Legal Aid at Work, assisting pro se litigants with employment law matters.
