How We Help
A primary care physician will recommend an appointment with a neurologist when a patient's symptoms are indicative of a brain or nervous system disorder. In addition, neurologists consult on injuries or trauma to these sensitive organs and nerves. Our expert specialists can provide an effective diagnosis and recommend the most effective treatment for each condition to help patients maintain the best possible quality of life.
Neurological exams test vision, strength, coordination, reflexes, sensation, memory, speech, language, and other cognitive abilities. We may also perform diagnostic tests such as computer axial tomograpy (CAT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging/magnetic resonance angiography (MRI/MRA), spinal tap, electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography/nerve conduction velocity (EMG/NCV).
Our neurologists focus on accurately diagnosing and treating these disorders with the most advanced equipment available. With our convenient locations and personal attention, patients and their families also receive individual care, support, and education which ease the stress associated with a neurological disorder.
