Services We Provide

Our practice offers comprehensive neurological services, including:
NCS / EMG (neuromuscular testing)
These tests help evaluate nerve and muscle function to identify conditions affecting strength, sensation, movement, or pain.
EEG and ambulatory EEG
EEG testing records brain activity and can help detect abnormal electrical patterns related to seizures, fainting episodes, or other neurological concerns.
Skin biopsy for small fiber neuropathy
A skin biopsy can help diagnose small fiber neuropathy by evaluating the tiny nerve fibers that may contribute to burning, tingling, or unexplained nerve pain.
Botox therapy for neurological conditions
Botox therapy may be used to help manage neurological symptoms such as chronic migraine, muscle stiffness, spasms, or certain movement disorders.
Neurocognitive testing
Neurocognitive testing helps assess memory, attention, language, processing speed, and other thinking skills to better understand cognitive changes.

Patient Reviews
What Patients Are Saying
What stood out most was the character of the team. It’s rare to find a place where you feel both cared for and respected, and this clinic absolutely delivers that. The office itself is beautiful, clean, and very inviting, which made the whole experience even more pleasant.
I honestly can’t say enough good things this was one of the best appointments I’ve had in a long time.
Thank you team
Cordially yours
Margarita Aguayo
The doctor was very thorough in reviewing the reasons for my visit. Although I received a diagnosis that I wasn’t particularly happy about—but had been expecting—the way it was explained made all the difference. The doctor took the time to deliver it thoughtfully, with great detail and care. My wife and daughter were present as well, and they too were very impressed with his professionalism and compassion.
I definitely will recommend this office.
