Frequently Asked Questions
We evaluate and provide care for a wide range of neurological conditions, including autoimmune encephalopathy, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy and seizure disorders, gait abnormalities, dizziness and vertigo, syncope, sports-related concussions, normal pressure hydrocephalus, brain tumors, and neurofibromatosis. Each condition requires a detailed evaluation to determine the underlying cause and the most appropriate care approach.
You should consider a neurological evaluation if you experience persistent dizziness, recurring episodes of imbalance, unexplained falls, changes in walking patterns, or episodes of fainting. These symptoms can have many causes, and a thorough assessment can help identify whether they are related to neurological, cardiovascular, vestibular, or other underlying conditions.
Diagnosis typically begins with a detailed medical history and neurological examination. Depending on your symptoms, additional testing may include EEG, EMG/NCS, neurocognitive testing, imaging studies, laboratory evaluations, or other specialized assessments to better understand the condition affecting your nervous system.
While many neurological conditions are chronic, proper diagnosis and ongoing management can help control symptoms, reduce complications, and improve quality of life. Treatment plans are individualized and may include medications, monitoring, lifestyle recommendations, rehabilitation, and coordination with other specialists when needed.
Symptoms vary depending on the location and type of condition but may include persistent headaches, seizures, changes in vision, weakness, speech difficulties, memory changes, personality changes, or problems with balance and coordination. A neurological evaluation can help determine whether further testing is needed.
Yes. A sports-related concussion can temporarily affect brain function and may cause symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, confusion, memory difficulties, sensitivity to light, or changes in concentration. A neurological evaluation can help assess recovery, identify ongoing concerns, and guide appropriate management.
