Ananthanayaki Saravanan, ACNPC-AG

Ananthanayaki “Ana” Saravanan, MSN, ACNP-BC, is a board-certified nurse practitioner with Bayhealth Neurology.

The field of neurology has always been close to Ana’s heart due to personal experiences. A couple close family members suffered with seizures, and she took care of her father for 11 years after he suffered a stroke. She enjoys staying on top of the ever-evolving science and technology in this specialty field.

With more than 20 years’ experience, Ana has continued to gain advanced training during her nursing career. She earned a Master of Science in Nursing Degree in adult acute care and gerontology, followed by certification as an acute care nurse practitioner.

Ana has a friendly and approachable style. She takes pride in getting to know each patient and their unique circumstances. She finds it most rewarding to thoroughly answer patients’ questions, share information about advanced medications and available resources, and help ease their frustrations or fears about their health, particularly when it comes to complex and progressive diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Guillain–Barré syndrome, or myasthenia gravis.

In her spare time, Ana enjoys flower gardening and growing her own vegetables. She and her husband also do volunteer work together on weekends.
