| Core Service | What It Addresses | Typical Tools | Outcome Goal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neurological Diagnostics | Identifying causes of weakness, numbness, dizziness, seizures, and cognitive changes | EEG, EMG/NCS, advanced imaging review | Accurate diagnosis and clear baseline |
| Epilepsy Care | Seizure control, medication adjustments, surgical evaluation | Long-term video EEG, neuroimaging, lab monitoring | Reduced seizure frequency and improved safety |
| Movement Disorders | Tremor, Parkinsonism, dystonia, spasticity management | Clinical exams, medication trials, botulinum toxin planning | Better mobility, less disability, higher function |
| Stroke & Vascular Neurology | Acute stroke intervention, secondary prevention, TIA evaluation | CT/MRI, vascular studies, carotid & cardiac assessments | Minimize recurrence and long-term complications |
| Headache & Pain | Migraine, cluster, and chronic daily pain syndromes | Diagnostic interviews, targeted therapies, neuromodulation options | Fewer days with pain, restored daily activities |
| Neurorehabilitation Coordination | Post-stroke, post-injury, or post-surgical recovery planning | Therapy goals, assistive technology, caregiver support | Maximize independence and quality of life |
Comprehensive Diagnostic Services
Advanced Neurophysiological Testing
The group operates in-depth EEG, EMG, and nerve conduction studies to detect seizure activity, neuropathy, and radiculopathy. Technologists and neurologists collaborate to produce high-quality recordings that guide medication and surgical decisions.
Expert Neuroimaging Interpretation
MRI and CT findings are reviewed with an emphasis on subtle strokes, white matter disease, and structural lesions. Detailed imaging reports help patients and primary teams understand the clinical relevance of each scan.
Specialized Clinical Programs
Epilepsy Monitoring and Management
For patients with uncontrolled seizures, the practice offers extended video-EEG monitoring and medication optimization. These evaluations may identify candidates for devices or surgery, while providing detailed education on safety and lifestyle adjustments.
Movement Disorder Evaluation
Specialized clinics assess tremor, stiffness, slowness, and balance issues using standardized rating scales. Treatment plans may include medication adjustments, botulinum toxin injections, or coordinated referrals to surgical centers.
Integrated Care and Rehabilitation
Therapy Coordination and Follow-up
Neurologists work closely with physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy teams to align goals. Regular progress reviews ensure that rehabilitation stays aligned with neurological recovery and functional milestones.
