About the doctor
The neurologist diagnoses and treats — without surgery — diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord and nerves. Chronic headache and migraine, dizziness, numbness and limb weakness are among the most common reasons for referral.
Conditions such as epilepsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and neuropathy are diagnosed and managed with the help of neurological examination, imaging and nerve and brain studies. The goal is to control the disease, reduce symptoms and preserve the patient's independence and quality of life.
