What You Can Expect from Our Neurologists

Most patients meet with our neurologists after they've been referred by their primary care doctors. During your first meeting, your board-certified neurologist will review your medical history and perform a physical exam. Your doctor may test your vision, strength, coordination, reflexes and sensation. Your neurologist may suggest additional tests, such as CT or MRI imaging scans, electroencephalography to assess electrical activity in the brain, and electromyelogram to measure and record electrical activity in the muscles and nerves. In some cases, a lumbar puncture may be performed to analyze spinal fluid.

Creating Your Treatment Plan

When all the test results are in, your neurologist will discuss your condition with you in detail and review your treatment options. You may have plenty to discuss, as treatment options for neurological disorders are wide-ranging, from medication to surgery.

Some neurological conditions require a longer period of care. Your neurologist may be a part of a multidisciplinary team of medical professionals that includes physical, occupational and speech therapists, nutritionists, neurosurgeons, and mental health therapists. This kind of care provides you with a variety of solutions to the symptoms you might be facing.
