Dr. Reynolds completed his undergraduate training at Tennessee Technological University with a major in chemistry. While an undergraduate he completed four years of radiochemistry research and has a distinction of being trained in the obscure art of solvent extraction of tri-valent lanthanide, rare-earth metals. He attended medical school at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. He completed his internal medicine internship and neurology residency at North Carolina Baptist Hospital in 1995 and a two-year fellowship in cerebrovascular disease and neurosonology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in 1997.
After fellowship, Dr. Reynolds then joined the faculty as a stroke neurologist at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi. In Mississippi he was active in the care of stroke patients and in clinical trials of acute stroke therapies and secondary prevention of stroke. He was director of 3rd and 4th year medical student education in Neurology and helped administer the neurology residency program. He was a member of the executive board of the Mississippi Stroke Education Consortium and was active in stroke education throughout the state of Mississippi.
Dr. Reynolds joined the neurology faculty of Wake Forest University School of Medicine in 1999. He is an Associate Professor specializing in stroke and cerebrovascular disease and neurosonology. He is the Director of the Acute Stroke Unit. His research interests include acute stroke therapy trials and secondary stroke prevention trials. He has served as a sub-investigator or principle investigator for numerous clinical stroke trials. He is currently an investigator in the NIN/NINDS SPS3 Trial (Secondary Prevention of Small Subcortical Strokes) and is the local principle investigator for the CRESCENDO Trial (Comprehensive Rimonabant Evaluation Study of Cardiovascular Endpoints and Outcomes). He will also be the local principle investigator for two acute stroke treatment trials: VASTT (V10153 Acute Stroke Treatment Trial) and CASTIA (Clopidogrel plus aspirin vs aspirin alone for TIA or minor strokes). In addition to his stroke research, he also participates in research involving the use of Botulinum Toxin for treatment of headaches and other neurogenic pain syndromes.
Dr. Reynolds is a diplomat of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and holds certification in Neurosonology from the American Society of Neuroimaging. He is a member of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), serves on the Board of Directors of the American Society of Neuroimaging and is a Fellow of the Stroke Council of the American Stroke Association. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories (ICAVL).
Dr. Reynolds is dedicated to undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate medical education, and he is a member of the Wake Forest University Medical Foundation Distinguished Teaching Scholars program. In addition, he is heavily involved in medical education as one of the medical school's Core Teaching Faculty and as been chosen twice the recipient of the Friend of Students Award in 2005 and 2007 by the students of Wake Forest University School of Medicine. He is the faculty adviser for the Wake Forest University School of Medicine's chapter of the AAN's SIGN (students interested in going into the neurosciences) organization. He especially enjoys teaching about stroke, general neurology and neurovascular ultrasound. Dr. Reynolds has been the Neurology Residency Program Director for the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Department of Neurology since 2000. Most recently, Dr. Reynolds was appointed to a three-year term as a member of the Institution Review Board at WFUSM.
On a national level, he recently completed a full six-year term as a member of the Graduate Education Subcommittee (GES) of the American Academy of Neurology and he is an active member of the Consortium of Neurology Program Directors. Dr. Reynolds is also an active participant in an international consortium of medical educators known as the M.I.A.M.I. (Miami International Alliance for Medical-Education Innovation) group, which meets several times each year at the Center for Research in Medical Education at the University of Miami School of Medicine.
Outside of the Medical Center, Dr. Reynolds enjoys spending as much free time as possible with his wife (an infectious diseases physician) and two-year old son. He also enjoys outdoor activities and especially likes to go mountain biking in the summer (with several broken bones to show for it) and snow skiing in the winter. Last year he was talked into participating in a triathlon and is now officially hooked on the sport and is an active participant in several races each year
